What is the Master Sample?

Hankook Research’s Master Sample refers to our panel of over 930,000 people
who are willing to voluntarily participate in surveys.
The Master Sample allows us to quickly find qualified respondents to take part in
all types of surveys including face-to-face interviews, email surveys, mobile surveys, and FGDs.
It also boosts the accuracy of our research studies.

Master Sample

Because we recognized the need for a readily available pool of respondents to participate in market research studies, Hankook Research has been recruiting respondents for our Master Sample since 2001. As of July 2024, we have over 930,000 participants in our Master Sample.

Master Sample

The Master Sample is pool of respondents that is statistically representative of the population at large. It is distributed evenly across regions, genders, age groups, occupations, educational backgrounds, income, etc. Participants who are part of our Master Sample have all pledged to respond faithfully to all surveys conducted by Hankook Research.

Master Sample

Participation is voluntary. All enrolled participants are managed actively by our researchers. As a result, our participation rates and accuracy of our surveys are high.

Master Sample

Hankook Research has been able to secure the participation of respondents who are typically difficult to get a response from. (i.e. high income earners, professionals, blue-collar workers, and families with young children. Studies that are executed quickly and efficiently are now a real possibility.
