The research will be a key part of OPSS' evidence on online marketplace and addresses a
gap that has been identified.
By understanding the extent to which different messages impact consumers, it will help
OPSS to develop the strategy on online marketplaces and consumer-focused campaigns.
The project will run across two phases. The first phase will interview consumers as they
re-enact a recent purchase via an online marketplace. This qualitative phase will provide
an understanding of how consumers shop using online marketplaces - what information
do they look for / notice, and how aware are they of the origins of the product.
The second phase of the research will develop some of the themes from the first phase
into a set of questions to test prevalence on a wider, quantitative scale. In addition to the
short survey, there will be an experimental element, with the development and testing of
different messages to measure any reported impact these messages have with potential
consumers.
