SayPro Audience Research and Data Collection Plan

Objective:
To gather feedback from the target audience regarding their preferred webinar times to ensure optimal participation and engagement for future SayPro webinars. The data collected will help determine the most convenient time slots based on audience preferences and time zone considerations.

1. Research Methodology

The research will include two primary methods: surveys and focus groups, designed to collect both quantitative and qualitative feedback from the target audience.

Survey Approach:

Objective: To quickly gather statistical data on preferred webinar times from a large audience.
Target Participants: Employees, team leaders, and organizational decision-makers who are potential attendees of the SayPro webinars.
Survey Tool: Use tools like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform to design and distribute the survey.

Focus Group Approach:

Objective: To gain deeper insights into the reasons behind preferred times and gather more qualitative feedback.
Target Participants: A small, diverse group of employees or team leaders who represent various regions and time zones.
Focus Group Tool: Virtual meetings via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet.

2. Survey Design

The survey will include a mix of multiple-choice, rating scale, and open-ended questions.
