Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who can join?

    Our members are volunteers from throughout New Zealand, and it is very important to us that our Panel represents all the different types of households that make up our wide population. This is why we welcome all types of households, from single ones to those with large families plus we have members that span all ages, from 16 up to 90 and above!

    So the reason we would like YOU to join our Scanning Panel is because you too are an essential part of the New Zealand population and with your unique purchasing habits your contribution would be very important to us.

    This is why we would like YOU to join our important Shopping Panel.

  • What will I have to do when I join?

    As a NielsenIQ Panel Member you’ll be letting us know, on a weekly basis, what products your household likes to buy by simply scanning your household’s shopping. There’s no writing involved or any complicated form-filling. You simply scan the barcode on each and every item purchased by your household using our mobile scanning app or select ‘No Purchase’ for weeks where you have not shopped. It really is that simple!

    You will need to scan all items that are bought from everywhere, by all members in your household.

  • How will I be rewarded?

    In return for scanning your purchases, you will receive reward points. You will be able to exchange them for a variety of fantastic gifts and vouchers that are featured in our gift catalogue. You will also earn entries in our fantastic prize draw, exclusive to our panel members.

  • What happens to the information I scan?

    The shopping information you would have scanned will be collected automatically. This scanning information will then be combined anonymously, along with the rest of our scanning Panel’s data. Specific analyses will then be carried out on the Panel’s “whole pot” of shopping information which then provides important fact and trends to many different manufacturers and retailers.

  • How can I contact you?

    You can contact us in a number of ways:
    1. You can call our Free phone Help Line: 0800 102 141 
    2. You can email us at: homescan.helpline.nz@smb.nielseniq.com
