Tell me what you're working with
A few details, then a short scoping form arrives in your inbox.
Enquiry received. Over to me.
Next, tell me about your research in a short scoping form. The link is in your inbox too, so you can come back to it. Once you've submitted it, your written scope follows within three working days, or seven for a study that needs fieldwork, with the fieldwork estimate.
- Approve the scope. Once you approve it in writing, I start. 50% of the fee is invoiced then, and fieldwork is paid before it's commissioned.
- For a study, set the research up. I write the research brief, and the survey company firms up the fieldwork quote once the sample is set. I confirm it with you in writing.
- Publish your findings. You get the whitepaper, the landing page copy and the schema markup, ready for your site.
Questions about original research marketing
How much does a whitepaper cost?
A research whitepaper costs $7,500. That covers a whitepaper of 3,000 to 4,000 words built on data you already hold, with the findings prepared for citation, the landing page copy, the schema markup and a one-page summary to forward. It's ready three weeks after you send the statistics. If you don't have data yet, a standard study adds the research design and the fieldwork.
How much does a research study cost in Australia?
A standard study costs $10,000 plus fieldwork, and a flagship study costs $14,000 plus fieldwork. Fieldwork is quoted once the sample is set, because its cost depends on who you need to reach, how many people and how many questions you ask. I engage and manage the survey company. An annual index is quoted per edition.
Does data we already hold count as original research?
Yes, as long as it hasn't been published before. A survey you've run, a survey company's report, or records your business holds can all become original research. The numbers need analysing first. Your survey company can do that, or your own analyst, or a statistician you bring in. Then a research whitepaper turns them into findings prepared for citation.
