METHODOLOGICAL RESEARCH 

At QualiQuanti, we are constantly re-interrogating our study methodologies. What’s at stake is to offer our clients the best combinations of methodologies to adjust to each specific issue, that which mixes the right methods and concentrates on the most useful information.

Respect for the respondent is also a constant concern of ours : a questionnaire should be an enriching cultural experience for the respondents.

QualiQuanti is a pioneer in online studies (first online studies in 1998, first online qualitative survey in 2004). We re-adjust our methodologies constantly to integrate the benefits of new technologies : mobile studies, communities …

SEMIOLOGY

Semiological analysis : a key method at QualiQuanti

Semiotic analysis is the identification and description of each element of a product or a communication. QualiQuanti semiotic studies review both textual and visual elements to better help identify a brand or corporate strengths and weaknesses, notably compared to other brands and businesses of the industry.

Our analysis are based on :

  • An inductive method based on large corpuses (observation+ semiotic analysis)
  • Capitalization on experience
  • Mobilisation of various disciplines.
  • Symbolic analysis

At QualiQuanti, semiotic analysis can be used alone or combined with qualitative studies : they are then meant to enrich the consumer’s perception. We rely on a network of highly regarded experts.
