Omnibus

Omnibus or multi-topic surveys – the cost-effective way to carry out representative market research in the fastest possible time.

Decisive advantages of the Omnibus system include

Cost sharing – clients from a wide range of sectors insert their questions in a communal study and, by so doing, share the fixed costs.

Result – based on a large sample, extremely reliable, in ad hoc quality, exclusive and very reasonably priced.
Respondents – are newly selected for each Omnibus (no panel effect).

• OMNIBUS CAPI/personal Interviews

GfK EURO BUS ® / GfK GLOBO BUS ®

 The GfK EURO BUS/GfK GLOBO BUS – GfK’s worldwide network (subsidiary companies and renowned partner institutes). Each of the Institutes is backed up by their extensive knowledge of carrying out Omnibus surveys in their own country.
