20/20 RESEARCH RELEASES QUALVIEW™
A NEW STEP IN ONLINE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

Nashville, TN, March 9, 2006 - 20/20 Research, Inc., a Nashville-based marketing research firm, is now offering Qualview™, an online program that allows researchers to interact with consumers over the Internet in real time.

Qualview™ uses a webcam interface for virtual interviewing of research study participants. This interface provides researchers with visual cues such as facial expressions, movement and gestures, in addition to the convenience of online participation.

The software allows researchers to show images of advertisements, websites and PowerPoint presentations during the interview. A "white board" can be offered allowing participants and moderators to “draw” on the stimuli. Because participants use their personal computers, they are able to participate from the comfort of their own homes or offices, helping to create a more relaxed interviewing atmosphere.

Clients have the ability to monitor the entire interview, watching it as it occurs. They even have the ability to communicate "off-stage" with the moderator during the interview without the participant’s knowledge. The entire interview is saved on a secure server for clients, allowing easy access for referring to the interview at a later time.

Qualview™ is an ideal way for clients to conduct "in-person" interviews without the headache and expense of having to travel to various research facilities around the country.

ABOUT 20/20 RESEARCH, INC. - 20/20 Research, Inc. (founded in 1986) provides qualitative research facilities in Nashville, Charlotte, and Miami. 20/20 also has an online division, offering clients Qualboard" 2.0 software to conduct online discussion board research studies in seven languages around the world. Impulse Surveys, a national organization that conducts independent surveys among qualitative research consultants, consistently gives 20/20 Research's Nashville and Charlotte facilities top ratings. In the 2004 edition, both facilities earned the distinction of being two of the "top rated" facilities worldwide.
