Key features
PLAY - Users can earn points from participating in surveys, taking daily quizzes or ‘Hot Topic’ polls and also earn booster points from time to time. Milieu provides fun facts to users every time they load a survey. These fun facts are used to inject personality to the app experience, allowing users to access a wider variety of content ranging across lifestyle and current affairs topics.
With ‘Hot Topic’ polls, users can vote and see what others are also thinking on the topic. Beyond earning points with gamification features, a proprietary AI algorithm tracks each user’s personalised interactions on the Milieu Survey, ensuring they will receive relevant content to keep them actively engaged.
TRACK - With a personalised profile page, users can view their status tier and track how many points they have earned, surveys completed and activity history. They can earn a streak bonus when they complete at least 2 activities (survey, hot topic or quiz) on Milieu Surveys within 7 days.
SPEND - Reward points can be redeemed for attractive items such as shopping vouchers or donations to charity.
Commenting about the app update, Milieu Insight’s COO, Stephen Tracy, said, “The success of our data collection app, Milieu Surveys, was built on our unwavering commitment to user-centricity. Online quantitative research is the fastest growing sector within the market research industry, and yet participants of online studies are often subjected to poor user experiences that create a lot of friction. Our latest app upgrade doubles down on our commitment to offering our users a great experience, while adding exciting new features and ways to collect new types of data that are opt-in and permission-based.’’
