The process of implementing TV/Video audience measurement includes the following steps: Determining the objectives and research questions: to begin with, it is necessary to determine what information we want to obtain from audience measurement and what questions we want to ask. Selecting the measurement method: there are many different methods of audience measurement, such as panel surveys, episode method, etc. You should choose the one that will best answer the questions posed and meet the objectives of the survey. Preparation of measurement tools: if we have chosen a method that requires the installation of special devices in respondents’ homes (such as in the case of panel surveys), they should be prepared and delivered to the appropriate people. If we have chosen a sectional method, a suitable questionnaire or other data collection tool should be prepared. Data collection: once the measurement tools have been prepared, they should be implemented and data collected. This may include installing special devices in respondents’ homes, conducting interviews, etc. Data analysis: after data collection, it should be analyzed and conclusions drawn. This may include counting responses, creating tables and graphs, etc. Reporting the results: at the end, a report should be created containing the results of the audience measurement and the conclusions drawn from them. This report can be presented to the client or published in some form.
