Whoever understands the customer best, wins by Mike Gospe

“Eligibility means right survey for the right person” for example surveys regarding baby products would be particularly suited and eligible for parents with children aged between 0-5 years. Similarly surveys regarding women specific products would be eligible for women only because men would have no knowledge and interest in those surveys.

Users are those people who have personally experienced the particular product or service and

Non-Users are those who have not used or experienced that product or service so definitely the experienced will give the correct and meaningful feedback.
