Q: How do you recruit for your panel?
A: Our panel members are drawn from our active and growing online community at yconic.com. yconic.com offers
a scholarship search resource that connects students with financial opportunities that suit them. As part of their
registration and communication preferences, students are presented with an opportunity to opt-in for research.
Q: How do you reach respondents?
A: Email is the primary method for survey invitations.
Q: What are your rules of engagement/contact frequency?
A: Contact tends to be limited to 3-4 times per month. Frequency varies depending on the demographic profile and
size of that profile (for example, frequency of survey participation may be higher for Atlantic Canadian Males,
wherein we have a smaller pool, than in Ontario Females, where the pool is much larger).
To help control the amount of invites an individual may receive, we have the ability to block respondents from
sample tables when multiple projects are in-field.
