Where are Lucid respondents sourced?
There are a few different ways that respondents are sent to surveys. Some respondents participate in online research panels, where they receive rewards for completed surveys. Others opt into rewards or loyalty programs that provide incentives via online games or apps. We also source respondents from online publishers who send their web traffic to surveys. The Lucid Quality Program evaluates our supply partners to ensure that customers receive high quality survey results.

“We turned to Lucid because it was a way we could more affordably reach respondents in MSAs [metropolitan statistical areas] across the US. We found that the demographics of Lucid’s respondents matched what we expected from US census parameters.”
