How Yazi Recruits participants for you

With Yazi, you're not just collecting data; you're opening a dialogue with a wide and diverse audience, ensuring a representative sample that mirrors the real market scenario.

How do we recruit these participants? 

Our recruitment strategy utilises the expansive reach of social media, local partnerships and the convenience of QR codes to attract a wide-ranging participant pool for your surveys.

  • Social Media Engagement: We actively recruit through various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and TikTok. This broad approach helps us reach a wide demographic spectrum.
  • Partnerships: We collaborate with companies possessing extensive databases of customers or members. Through these partnerships, we invite individuals to participate in our surveys, ensuring a rich pool of respondents.
  • Local Presence: In an effort to connect with communities, we've placed QR codes in spaza shop locations across South Africa. These QR codes direct individuals to our WhatsApp number, facilitating an easy sign-up process.
  • Referral Program: We believe in the power of word-of-mouth. Hence, we have a referral program where existing participants can refer friends, family, and their network. We incentivise these referrals to encourage a broader participation.
  • Demographic Information Collection: To mitigate bias and the incentive to provide untruthful responses, we gather demographic information before showing participants our surveys. This ensures the quality and reliability of our data.

Why do they do it?

There are many reasons why people would be interested in participating in a research study in emerging markets. We have made sure to cater for the most important motives that drive participation:

  • The desire to earn more, we have a generous incentive policy for all of our qualified participants
  • The desire to have a voice, being able to contribute towards something progressive
  • The desire to make money at home, we let them know before the survey starts that this is a survey based online
  • The desire to share their experiences in their day-to-day living,  participants are able to share their story not only through text but also through video, image and voice recording

How we assure you quality participants

Smart targeting means fast recruits
Our targeting system finds participants whose profiles and research histories match your criteria.
Speeding

A completion time that is too fast indicates the respondent has not sufficiently comprehended the questions

Gibberish Checker

Checking that open text answers are not “gibberish” and can be understood as a sentence

Straight-Lining Checker

Checking that the sequence of answers does not follow the same pattern - e.g. A, A, A, A, A, A

Red Herring Question

Intentionally placing “oddball” questions into the survey to see if the respondent was paying attention. We also ask questions that correspond with previous answers but are categorised or worded slightly differently.

Evidence Question

Where we specifically need an audience that exhibits a certain behaviour or matches a certain demographic, we ask respondents to send a picture that proves they match/meet requirement.

Panel Recalibration and Assessment

We recycle demographic and behavioural questions every 4 months to compare against historical answers.
