5 Strengths of ASMARQ
01.Wide Range of Research Solutions
Quantitative Research
Quantitative research is a method of gathering numerical data to collect information about a target audience's awareness and behavior levels, which is then statistically analyzed. Representative survey methods include web surveys, Central Location Test, and Home Use Tests. Our company offers comprehensive support for each of these research methods, from survey design to reporting. Furthermore, we can accommodate customized requests tailored to your specific needs and scope of work（sample supply）.
Qualitative Research
Qualitative research is a method of collecting information primarily through opinions about the awareness and behavior levels of a target audience. Representative survey methods include interview surveys (group interviews and in-depth interviews,home visit), diary surveys, and MROC (Market Research Online Communities). In interview surveys, we excel not only in traditional offline face-to-face interviews but also in online interviews using our proprietary interview tools "i-PORT voice"（Platform dedicated to online interviews） and chat tools "i-PORT chat"（Platform dedicated in chat interviews and can share both videos and photos.）
Similar to quantitative research, we can accommodate customized requests tailored to your specific needs and scope of work in qualitative research.

We offer services such as "D-Planner," which quantifies human sensibility with AI to conduct creative evaluations of items like packaging, "Design Psychology Surveys," which quantifies human intuition from a design psychology perspective, and "Subject Recruitment Support" tailored to researchers' needs.
02.
Recruitment services for survey participants
that we have emphasized since our establishment
ASMARQ is especially skilled at qualitative research compared to other Japanese online research companies. Unlike other companies that have increased the number of respondents through online surveys, ASMARQ is one of the rare ones that started out as a recruiting service to recruit respondents for offline research. Respondent recruitment is indispensable in qualitative research. Even today, we have many qualitative research projects, not only for manufacturing companies, but also for marketing research companies both domestic and overseas.
One of our distinctive features is that, in addition to our core research services, we have also established a unique position in the industry where we often receive inquiries and consultations from other research companies regarding participant recruitment for their surveys. What sets us apart is that ASMARQ handles the recruitment aspect of surveys.
