Syndicated Services

TNS Research Surveys’ OmniChek surveys offer clients the opportunity to share the costs and infrastructure of studies amongst large samples of South Africans. Using random suburb sampling, all OmniChek surveys are conducted through face-to-face interviews in respondents’ homes by TNS Research Surveys’ trained interviewers.

Metropolitan Omni studies

There are five metropolitan OmniChek studies scheduled for 2009.  These studies are the perfect way to track your brand’s health amongst a robust and representative sample of South African adults from all ethnic groups and major metro areas

Black Diamond™ Omni studies

In 2009 TNS Research Surveys is offering three Black Diamond™ OmniChek surveys.  TNS Research Surveys’ ground-breaking Black Diamond™ projects (conducted in conjunction with the Unilever Institute of Strategic Marketing) have provided marketers and advertisers with insights into the emerging and emerged black middle and upper class.  Now you have the opportunity to place and track customised questions on a syndicated study which surveys a robust sample of these key consumers, or just to buy the comprehensive PowerPoint media or financial pack.

TeenChek

There are just under 2.5 million teenagers (13 - 19 years) in the 7 major metropolitan areas of SA. This is 20% of the total population in the 7 major metropolitan areas.
Teens have been identified as having great spending power and influence on purchase decisions. TeenChek is a study that will focus on a representative sample of teenagers (aged 13 - 19 years) living in the 7 metropolitan areas of SA.

Like most markets, teens are not homogenous - identity plays a key role and lifestyle may influence brand and product choice. For example a gaming product may be targeted at a particular teen mindset. As it is very useful to know what teens are into, we will create a segmentation based on mind sets, activities and interests. This will allow clients to target more specific segments.

BabyChek

Introducing the newest addition to the OmniChek family.
BabyChek will focus on a representative sample of females with children under 3 years living in the 7 major metropolitan areas of South Africa.

In order to understand more about different mothers in South Africa, their needs and how they go about balancing and managing their daily lives we will be creating a segmentation. The segmentation will be created from various behavioural and attitudinal questions.
