Overview: In the current climate of tightened marketing budgets and heightened concerns about air travel, companies that engage in qualitative research are beginning to consider alternatives to traditional face-to-face groups. One of the alternatives available to researchers is the text-based online focus group. There are two general types of text-based online focus groups — real-time groups and message board discussions. The most basic method for the moderator to communicate with respondents is “freestyle” or “on the fly.” At the most basic level, a moderator can give respondents a URL where a stimulus is located. All virtual facilities offer technical support, but that support varies from facility to facility. In some virtual facilities, the moderator must phone or send a message to technical support, asking them to electronically remove the person from the room.
