Timing of responses and control of the timing of the survey flow is an important part of experimentation. In consumer reaction studies, controlling the length of ad exposure may be a key variable in equalizing the treatments across respondents. Qualtrics has many options for monitoring and reporting the activities
122 | ExPERIMENTATION
SUMMARY
This chapter introduced the underlying principles of experiments within marketing research and discussed the basic models of experimental designs. We talked about the nature of experiments and the sources of invalidity that can affect the outcome of experiments. We concluded this chapter with a discussion of some of the problems involved in marketing experimentation and solutions using the capabilities of Qualtrics for controlling online experiments.
of the respondent, including the ability to measure total survey response time, timing of individual pages, automatic page changing, and hiding of next page button.

Many other advanced functions for experimental design and advanced surveys are possible in Qualtrics. We refer you to the Coder’s Corner, which contains useful JavaScript, HTML and CSS Codes. Qualtrics software is designed to be “easy enough for an intern,” which is one of the features they are most proud of. However, with thousands of elite academic and corporate researchers using Qualtrics, there is the need to accommodate some really unique studies that require some really unique solutions.
To this end, Qualtrics is infinitely customizable. Users can insert custom code (like JavaScript and HTML) right into their surveys for some pretty amazing results. The Coder’s Corner is located at: http://www.qualtrics.com/university/coders-corner/
Congratulations. You have completed the first of our two books on marketing research. In this book, we have discussed everything from basic studies to advanced experimentation. Our focus has been on obtaining information, through secondary sources or through creating and executing primary research.
Chapter one provided an Introduction to marketing research.
Chapter two discussed how to focus your survey research and minimize error. Chapter three explored the secondary sources of information that are available to you. General principles for conducting interviews and minimizing error within them were the subject of chapter four.
Chapter five went deeper and explored specific interview types discussed in detail. In chapter six, qualitative research methods were discussed in detail.
Chapter seven described sampling procedures, including sample size. We concluded with experimentation in chapter eight.
In our second book, we will turn our focus to analyzing results after you obtain them. We will introduce you to data analysis and the methods used by researchers to interpret results. This will include a primer on statistics, multivariate analysis and much more. Like this first book, it will be published on Qualtrics University and is available for all Qualtrics users. We hope you will enjoy it as much as this edition.
