How it works? With 5 easy steps.
1. Tell us about your research
Send us your topic, university, country, target audience and survey length.
You can contact us at: academicsurveys@mainframemr.com
2. We check your audience
We'll check whether your target respondents are available through our network, and whether your survey is applicable for this offer.
3. Set-up our redirects
Once respondents finish the survey in your platform - they need to be redirected here:
https://fwredirect.com/end/complete/
This way we will make sure their response in the survey is properly registered/captured and they will receive automatically their survey reward.
4. Send us your survey URL
Google Forms, Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey or another survey platform. We can work with any, as long as our redirects (from point 3) are set.
5. We collect the responses
We'll send the agreed number of respondents to your survey.
