Why Members Participate – What’s In It For Them?

In return for participating in ChangeWave surveys and panels, Research Network members gain access to more than $10,000 worth of exceptionally high quality research results yearly – results that help them both professionally and personally. Plus, they receive a complimentary 6-month subscription to Tobin Smith's ChangeWave Investing service (a $175 value).

Members also contribute because they understand the power of a "wisdom of crowds" philosophy over purely individual opinion and knowledge – and they want to be a part of this unique network.

During 2007, Network members participated in surveys questionnaires covering a wide range of industries, technologies, products, and corporate and consumer spending categories. Each survey contains open-ended & multiple choice questions.

Overall, the program has very high participation rates. Moreover, the Network has an exceptionally low turnover rate – with 98% of members requesting to renew their membership each year. We note that all members must actively participate to remain in the program.
