Let&#8217;s take the famous toy manufacturer Lego as an example. LEGO&#8217;s journey towards product excellence begins with a deep understanding of consumer insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lego targeting girls: Addressing gender disparity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By conducting extensive market research, LEGO has been able to gain valuable knowledge about its target audience \u2013 children and parents alike. The company utilizes various research methodologies, including surveys, focus groups, and observational studies, to gather insights into consumer preferences, trends, and emerging play patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LEGO has paid particular attention to the <strong>gender dynamics<\/strong> within the toy industry. One significant discovery was that only 9% of primary users of LEGO sets were female, indicating a gender disparity in LEGO&#8217;s consumer base. In response to this insight, LEGO embarked on a mission to create <strong>toys that would appeal to girls<\/strong> and encourage their participation in the LEGO play experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/lego_surveys_children.jpg\" alt=\"infographic of statistics from lego market research survey of children\" class=\"wp-image-32940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/lego_surveys_children.jpg 780w, https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/lego_surveys_children-330x255.jpg 330w, https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/lego_surveys_children-150x116.jpg 150w, https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/lego_surveys_children-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/londonducklings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/lego_surveys_children-585x452.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lego creativity survey conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/seejane.org\/research-informs-empowers\/lego-creativity-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geena Davies Institute<\/a> among children across several markets. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Armed with these insights, LEGO set out to create products that would genuinely engage and <strong>empower girls<\/strong>. They conducted additional market research to understand the preferences and interests of girls, seeking feedback on what they wanted to see in LEGO sets.

Through platforms such as HuginX, you can narrow down reputable survey sites that handle personal information responsibly and protect against data breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Provide Supervision: <\/strong>Supervise your child actively when taking surveys. Be present when they are completing surveys, especially for younger children, and provide guidance or clarification if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monitor Survey Content: <\/strong>Take an active role in reviewing the survey content your child will be exposed to. Ensure that the surveys are age-appropriate and do not include any sensitive or inappropriate material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limit Personal Information Sharing: <\/strong>Help your child to understand the importance of never sharing personal data beyond what is necessary for the survey. Teach them to be cautious and avoid providing sensitive details such as their full name, address, or contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teach Online Safety:<\/strong> Talk to your child about online safety measures, such as not clicking on suspicious links, not engaging in conversations with strangers, and reporting any inappropriate content or behaviour they encounter during surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Encourage Open Communication:<\/strong> Foster an environment of open communication with your child. Encourage them to discuss their survey experiences, and<strong> <\/strong>any concerns they may have, and report any uncomfortable situations or encounters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is paid online surveys for children considered safe?
