PULSE - What is it?

newvista PULSE is a mobile phone based SMS/WAP survey methodology ideally suited to capture snap opinion on hot topics. Panellists are sent a question & their answer triggers the sending of the next question until the survey is complete. Each interview can be conducted within 5 minutes.

PULSE – Considerations when using it

  1. Has enough time elapsed to gather opinions on breaking news?
  2. PULSE surveys are restricted to 160 characters per question, including spaces and response options. Does the topic/event lend itself to this type of question?
  3. Surveys should be restricted to 10 topic questions including both single and multi-coded responses with routing kept to a minimum. Demographics are pre-supplied
  4. PULSE is a TECH savvy panel and therefore may not be ideal for general attitudinal surveys regarding technology.
  5. PULSE reflects the trend within society for those aged 65+ to use mobile phones less than younger age groups and to communicate via text/WAP less than other groups
    1. This means it is currently best to use a 55+ age group (instead of 65+) for demographic analysis
