Di Marzio Research

Our Omnibus

Our quarterly omnibus survey was introduced in 2008 in conjunction with MarketMetrics. It provides a fast, reliable and very cost-efficient market research option for clients to meet a range of information needs and objectives.

This study adopts an online methodology with a sample of 1,200 people aged 18+ residing in the mainland states who use the internet. Research participants are sourced from a reputable online research panel specialist firm (MyOpinions) with quality accreditation in this field. The sample provides a good representation of the population and is weighted to the latest Census data by age, gender and location.

The omnibus fee is based on a per question basis, with demographics asked free.

Feedback from research participants:

Since the beginning of 2012, we've been asking Australians who have participated in our omnibus survey to provide feedback about it (at the conclusion of the survey) and the overall consensus has been consistently positive. Here is a selection of comments we have received (anonymously):

"Very easy survey to do, unlike some."

"One of the easiest, relevant surveys I have completed."

"I found this a very interesting survey. It's nice that someone is showing concerns about these issues."

"An interesting survey. There should be more like this which is relevant to the people in general who live in this country."

"I enjoyed that survey. Well presented and very easy to follow. Great questions too."

"Very tidy, enjoyable, interesting, terse survey - thanks. I like the automatic next page facility - it saves time. You create very user friendly surveys which is appreciated (some are dreadful). Well done."
