2. METHODOLOGY
Redshift Research conducted this study on behalf of Nokia
The survey was carried out in accordance with the Market Research Society’s code of
conduct, which guarantees anonymity to all respondents, and was designed to measure brand
perceptions, awareness and barriers to using Nokia.
Research was conducted between June and July 2013 using an email invitation and an online
survey.
The survey was conducted among 4138 camera phone owners.
Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is
measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages
expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result
does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 1.5 percentage points from the result that would be
obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the
sample.
Sample was selected from the Crowdology panel. Crowdology™ is an online panel owned and
operated by Redshift Research. The Crowdology™ panel is balanced across regional, age and
gender demographic factors, and is nationally representative of the population. Each
respondent completes 120 profiling questions before being accepted to join our panel. Panel
Quality Management is carried out frequently to ensure reliable surveys.
