Case  Study:    Target/Wal-­‐Mart  

Objec8ves:  

•  Validate  Mobile  GPS  as  a  Viable  Research  Methodology  that  is  Ready  Now  

•  Measure  Methodology  Response  Rates  to  Forecast  Future  Project  Feasibili8es  

•  Evaluate  Technology  to  Uncover  GPS  Research  Pros,  Cons,  and  Best  Prac8ces  

•  Gauge  Par8cipant  Interac8ons  with  the  Newly  Minted  Mobile  GPS  Research  Technology  and  Methodology

GeoValidateTM  –  valida8ng  a  GeoFenced  loca8on  point  from  an  aerial  satellite  view  to  ensure  the  boundaries  do  not  limit  or  exceed  the  study  loca8on.

GeoIntensityTM  –  As  users  approach  the  targeted  loca8on,  the  GPS  intensity  increases  with  increased  accuracy.    

•  GeoIntensityTM  helps  reduce  baTery  drain    •  GeoIntensityTM  helps  ensure  that  the  users  are

complete  immediately,  or  a  siUng  survey  for  them  to  complete  at  a  later  8me.

Case  Study:    Target/Wal-­‐Mart  

}  Goals:  Confirm  GPS  capabili8es,  measure  response  rates,  evaluate  technology  and  par8cipant  interac8ons  

}  Universe:  Likely  to  visit  the  1,767  Target  or  3,622  Wal-­‐Mart  GeoValidated™  stores  within  one  week  period  and  opt-­‐in  to  SOTG’s  GeoNo8fica8on  ™  tracking  system  

}  Methodology:    Prequalify  and  enable  background  GPS.  Unaware  of  Target/Wal-­‐Mart  as  “hot  spot,”  par8cipants  were  no8fied  a`er  a  Loca8on  Verifica8on  delay  of  2  minutes  in  a  GeoFenced  zone.  

93% of participants said they would “definitely” engage in future GeoNotificationTM projects
