Objection 1: Eye-Tracking Studies are Expensive
Historically, eye-tracking research was indeed a costly endeavor. The process required recruiting participants to visit a facility, utilizing expensive and specialized equipment, and often relying on services from a few providers like Ipsos. This setup limited participant numbers and made the studies quite expensive, averaging around $12,000 to $15,000.
Current Solutions:
Today, the landscape of eye-tracking research has dramatically changed, primarily due to advancements in artificial intelligence and digital technology. Our proprietary AI solution enables participants to engage in studies remotely, without the need for any specialized equipment.
This approach has significantly reduced costs, allowing for comprehensive studies that range from as little as $350 to $3,000 for more complex analyses. This cost-effective method not only makes eye-tracking more accessible but also expands the potential for larger sample sizes and diverse participant groups.
Objection 2: Eye-Tracking Research is Time-Consuming
In the past, the logistics of eye-tracking studies could be daunting. The necessity for physical presence in a designated setting meant organizing offline setups and renting equipment, which extended the duration of projects up to five weeks.
Current Solutions:
With the shift to online platforms, the time required to conduct eye-tracking research has significantly decreased. Our process leverages the speed of the internet for recruiting participants from top online panels, conducting research via an app, and analyzing data. The entire timeline from start to finish can now be completed in as little as 2.5 weeks. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:
