Aha! Key Features & Activities

Design engaging and in-depth qualitative and quantitative consumer and B2B studies using Aha’s wide range of built-in features and intuitive activities

Dynamic Canvas™

Dynamic Canvas is a multi-faceted projective tool that allows insight strategists and researchers to create an infinite number of customized visual exercises for consumer and B2B research studies. These exercises include perceptual and brand mapping, concept testing, customer experience and buyer journey maps, as well as free-form strategic image and text-related exercises.

Collage

One of our most used projective tools, Aha’s Collage inspires respondents to conceptualize and project their innermost feelings on a topic, a brand, and how these things relate emotionally to their lives.

Storytelling

This unique projective activity “guides” respondents in the development of a story, either fact or fiction. The proprietary and customizable template encourages respondents to write great stories revealing their feelings and motivations in creative, narrative style yielding deeper, more thoughtful insights.

Perceptual & Brand Mapping

This tool allows respondents to place brands or benefit statement/attributes on traditional X and Y axes continuums to share how they feel relative to 4 variables.

Projective Fill-in-the-Blanks — (think “Mad Libs”)

Single words, sentences, paragraphs and stories can be embedded with fill-in-the-blanks spaces allowing respondents to complete sentences and stories, both fiction and non-fiction, giving unique insight to how they think, feel and act in different scenarios that you create.

Wishing Wall (Social)

Wishing Wall is sentence completion tool wrapped in a social media format. It is best used as a community ideation tool. Respondents share thoughts and feelings about ideas, collaboratively building on those ideas – liking and commenting as appropriate.

Pinboard (Social)

Our highly intuitive Pinboard is a collaborative activity that allows respondents to share via uploaded text, pictures or video and then “like” and “comment” on other respondents’ posts – truly creating a conversation.

Video: Diaries and Self-Ethnography

Our highly advanced and easy to use mobile-enabled video tools allow respondents to easily share in the moment experiences, take us on tours of their homes, join them on shopping trips or any other in-the-moment events that are important to you as a researcher.

Ad/Concept Testing

The Aha! ad/concept testing feature allows you to share your concepts and ideas with respondents in any format including video and print ads, animatics, words on a page, logos, or other stimuli. Our Multi-Day True Rotation Concept Test feature uses an algorithm to rotate ideas equally over multiple days. You can utilize our concept mark-up tools as well. Quant-capable.

Quant Tools

While Aha! is a leading qual platform, sometimes some quant questions are appropriate. The platform has skip-logic, pipe-sum, matrix, and as series of closed-end question types that may be utilized, as needed.

SMS Text Video

The Aha! SMS Text-to-Video advantage allows respondents to text themselves a link from within the platform to their smartphone for easier video recording/uploading. This option avoids the need to connect your phone to the computer to upload video. This method sends video directly from the smartphone through a cellular connection directly to the platform. No tethering, no mobile app download needed. Great for virtual house/room tours.
