Field Surveys and Data Collection
Face to face, telephone and online data collection with Omani respondents, run by interviewers who speak the dialect and know the wilayat.
What are field surveys, and does Quantum Gulf Marketing run them in Oman?
Field surveys collect structured data directly from respondents, using face to face interviewing, telephone interviewing or online panels. Quantum Gulf Marketing runs survey fieldwork across all eleven governorates of Oman with interviewers who speak the local dialect and know the wilayat they are working in. We have delivered consumer satisfaction studies, in-depth and face to face interviewing programmes and B2B trade research in the Sultanate, including studies running to several thousand interviews. Sample is designed against your reporting plan, so that every cut you intend to present carries enough interviews to be reportable.

Four ways to reach an Omani respondent.
Each mode reaches a different person. The wrong mode produces a clean dataset about the wrong population, which is harder to spot than a messy one.
Face to face
In home, in street or at point of sale. The right mode for long questionnaires, for showing material, and for reaching respondents who will not take a call from a number they do not know.
Telephone
Fast turnaround and wide geographic spread at lower cost, suited to short questionnaires and to following up an existing customer list.
Online
Best for reach among younger and urban respondents, and for studies that need images, video or a long list of stimuli.
Trade and B2B
Store managers, distributors, workshops and specifiers, recruited by role and screened before the interview rather than during it.
From objective to dataset.
Design to the reporting plan
We start from the tables you intend to present, then size the sample so each of them is reportable.
Script and pilot
The questionnaire is scripted, translated, and piloted with real respondents before the main wave, because a question that fails in the field fails silently.
Field with supervision
Interviewers are briefed and supervised, with back-checks on completed work while fieldwork is still open.
Clean, weight, report
Data cleaned and weighted where the design requires it, then reported against the decision the study was commissioned to settle.
