General Information

Info for Research Companies

Qual recruitment: We really are very good at this. We started this service when existing suppliers failed to complete a research project, and several of our staff had extensive experience in the field. We can easily beat the feasibility of our competitors. We see the people we recruit when they turn up to our group rooms, so we know they are on spec. Our database is over 25,000 Australians - and we utilise a lot of other recruitment methodologies as well. Try us https://lonerganresearch.com.au/lfs/recruit/ -

Mystery Shopping: We have over 20,000 shoppers nationally, and extremely strong regional coverage. We have the best shopper training program around, and our team are also skilled at pricing and marketing audits, detailed web usability surveys and much more.  See https://www.mysterycustomer.com.au/

Group Rooms and remote moderation:  We have great rooms in the Sydney CBD (nr Town Hall). 360 degree cameras, big viewing room, comfortable, expandable group rooms, free webcasting - excellent value. Craft beer, quality wine and coffee - plus anything you can find on Uber Eats. We can even provide an experienced moderator, so if you don't want to travel to Sydney, you can appear on-screen (or not), and our quallie can do the hard work.

Face to face and indigenous consultation: We do around 1,500 face to face consultations per annum with Indigenous Australians, and plenty more with the general public. We work in urban, remote and very remote locations - from the Torres Strait to the central desert, and are at home in the big cities. We also do plenty of store intercepts, local council work and product trials.  We have a small CATI centre to support our capabilities.
