Omnibus 2026

Fast answers to a short set of questions — at an optimal budget.

An omnibus survey by Discovery Research is a shared study in which several clients ask their own questions of one nationally representative sample. You pay only for your part of the questionnaire, yet receive data at the level of a nationwide survey. It’s the most affordable way to run market research when you only have a few questions to ask.

What it is

One sample — several clients

An omnibus (omnibus study) is a quantitative survey in which several companies take part at the same time. Each participant pays only for their own questions, so the cost of a nationwide survey in Ukraine is split among everyone. It’s the ideal format when you need to ask your target audience a few questions but commissioning a standalone market research study would be too expensive.

Questions ordered by one participant are never shared with the other participants. Your wording and your data remain fully confidential.

FAQ

Questions about the omnibus

What is an omnibus survey?
An omnibus is a quantitative survey run on a nationwide sample, in which several clients take part at once. Each adds their own questions to a shared questionnaire and pays only for them. This gives you nationwide-study data at a much lower cost than a standalone survey.
How much does it cost to join the omnibus?
You pay only for your own questions. Closed questions start at UAH 7,475, open questions at UAH 11,030, scales at UAH 2,155 per statement, video testing at UAH 8,800 and Heat Map at UAH 14,500. The minimum order is 3 questions; from 7 questions a discount applies, and regular partners get 20%.
What is the sample and margin of error?
The standard sample is 1,000 respondents: women and men aged 18–60, urban population of Ukraine (excluding temporarily occupied territories), with quotas by gender, age, region and settlement size. The margin of error does not exceed ±3.09%.
When will the results be ready?
Requests for the next wave are accepted until the 5th of each month, and results are delivered by the 30th of the same month.
In what format is the data delivered?
Excel tables with analytical conclusions in standard socio-demographic breakdowns (gender, age, region, settlement type, financial status). We also hand over the dataset in SPSS and Excel without personal data. On request — a PowerPoint presentation and translation of the results into English.
Can other participants see my questions?
No. Questions ordered by one participant are never passed to the other omnibus clients. Your wording and the data you receive remain fully confidential.
What advanced mechanics can be added to the omnibus?
Besides ordinary closed and open questions, the omnibus can include second-by-second video ad testing with a slider, Heat Map testing of packaging design, ranking, statement scales and combined arrays — the same tools used in a full-scale study.
