/24-7PressRelease/ - LONDON, UK, June 22, 2007 - Toluna (LSE: TOL), Europe's leading online market research panel and survey technology provider has announced the launch of a new Brazilian panel community.
The panel community has been launched as part of Toluna's continued push to build a global panel community, providing its clients with a single source for
online market research samples and survey scripting services.
Frederic Charles Petit, CEO Toluna, stated, The launch in Brazil is in response to growing demand from our clients to extend our communities into the South American market. Our clients have recognised that Toluna's online communities provide extremely high response rates to surveys, reliable profiling information for respondent targeting and shorter project completion times than experienced with online panels."
According to research of a government census bureau, Brazil has the highest internet use in South America, with more than 32.1 million web surfers. This figure will seemingly continue to rocket, as Brazil's telecommunication infrastructure improves and the price of PCs fall.
In addition, as an emerging market, Brazil offers huge potential for the development of a stable consumer society, which can be profitably targeted by consumer goods companies across the globe.
Toluna enjoys a unique position in the panel vendor market, with its community model being rolled out across all of its panels. The community model is identified instantly by a quick glance at the sites Test&Vote and Toluna.com. Panel members have access to discussion forums, product tests, opinion ratings, as well as product comparison and discussion areas.
The addition of the Brazilian panel community brings Toluna's
online research panel portfolio total to 20 countries, including Australia, China, France, Mexico, Ireland, Greece, Russia, Spain, the UK, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany.
In the future, Toluna will be looking to expand its portfolio further, to include research panels in even more countries across the globe, ensuring that Toluna continues to offer a single source of online
market research samples for global studies.
