What is an Omnibus Survey?

In an omnibus survey, multiple clients contribute questions to a shared survey. Each participant pays only for the questions they submit, making it a cost-effective way to gather data. The survey covers various topics, allowing multiple industries or sectors to collect insights from a single study. Omnibus surveys are often used to gather quick feedback or general opinions across a wide audience.
