The "Refer-A-Friend" program is a very unique (and viral) way of letting your panel members let others know about your panel. Panel members can be incented to refer more people in exchange of acquiring more points. It's a Win-Win situation. VerticalPanel™ automatically checks for duplicate email addresses and multiple signup to proactively deter fraud.

Nothing motivates panel members other than instant gratification. Prizes and drawings are much less likely to motivate panel members to take longer surveys. VerticalPanel™ has partnered with Paypal.com for direct cash payments.

Note: Paypal based compensation may have additional fees attached. Please let us know in advance if you intend to use this method of compensation.

The qPoint system allows you to assign points for each survey. When users complete a survey, they get awarded points. Users can come and check their point balance at any time. The qPoint system is integrated with our Reward Tracking/Inventory system.

The qPoint system works in the following way:

• Panel Members are rewarded "Points" for filling out surveys, referring friends etc.
• Members can login and check their Point balance anytime.
• Members can redeem points for various prizes that you setup.

The integrated reward tracking system allows users to redeem accumulated qPoints to various prizes that you upload into the system. The reward inventory items can be iPods, Amazon Gift Certificates etc. or even Checks.

The qPoint (Weighted Point System) allows you to combine the notion of instant gratification along with the weekly/monthly pick-a-winner drawing system.

The qPoint system works in the following way:

• Panel Members are rewarded "Points" for filling out surveys, referring friends etc.
• Members can login and check their Point balance anytime.
• When selecting winners (Drawing etc.) VerticalPanel™ will automatically "weight" the panel members with more points to have a propotionally better chance of winning.
• The probability of any panel member winning is a direct function of his points relative to the total points awarded for the panel as a whole.

The Pick-A-Winner reward system allows you to randomly pick "n" winners at any point for users who have completed a particular survey. VerticalPanel™ automatically keeps track of the winners and they will automatically be excluded from being picked in future drawings.
