Objective
Mapping the brand awareness and image of Fraudhelpdesk.nl
|

Method
Online questionnaire completed by a nationally representative sample of the Dutch population
|

Effect
Confirming the necessity of Fraudehelpdesk.nl and further increasing awareness by approaching the press with the research results.
|
Conducting the online survey
The survey was conducted online among 1,000 consumers aged 18 and older. Online research is an effective method for collecting data, due to its short turnaround time and the possibility of targeted segmentation. In addition, it offers the possibility of making accurate measurements with regard to brand awareness, both spontaneous and aided, because the respondents are not aware of the purpose of the research in advance.
"In addition to the research, Markeffect took the initiative, which led to some surprising additional findings from the research."
André Vermeulen, spokesperson for Fraudehelpdesk.nl
