The VB Business Panel

The VB Business Panel is an online community of IT and business professionals, from organisations in the UK.

Our members have joined our panel to take part in technology-based market research and to gain rewards for sharing their opinions. Use this page to find out more about the VB Business Panel, or email vbpanel@vansonbourne.com if you have any queries.

Registering and verification

Visit our registration page and enter in your details.

It may take up to a week for your registration to be processed and we’ll start inviting you to relevant surveys once your details have been verified.

Take part in surveys

We will invite you by email, sending a survey link to the email address you have provided. Our research typically asks about the technology processes within your company, with current popular topics including digital transformation and cyber security. We also run a range of surveys targeted at decision makers outside of the IT department.

Rewards

Each email invite will inform you of the number of credits that you’d earn for completing that particular survey. 1 credit is equal to 50p.

We usually offer between 1-20 credits for completing a survey, with surveys typically offering a 10 credit reward.

Members are able to sign into the website and exchange their credits for rewards at any time. Credits can be exchanged for Amazon.co.uk Gift Certificates*, and donations to charities.

Where possible, we will share the research results of surveys you have taken part in too.

About the VB Business Panel

Our surveys cover a range of topics, primarily focused on business and technology developments. The topics are constantly changing to stay up to date with relevant business and technology developments, and we’re currently keen to gain opinions on digital transformation and how your organisation has reacted in light of recent data security hacks.

Joining the VB Business Panel offers you the opportunity to take part in this research and to have a real impact on the decisions made in the technology sector.
