To find their sample, Nielsen selects a county, then specific towns within that county, then specific homes within the designated area. They reach out and ask each of the chosen homes to participate in the program.

It is very important that you complete the Television Diary as well as the Consumer Survey. You received the TV Diary to represent thousands of people in your local area since we cannot ask everyone about their television viewing.

How did I become a Nielsen research participant? By random sampling. We cannot ask every household to participate in the study, so we carefully select households in your area to represent the entire television audience. To be statistically valid, it is very important that families are randomly selected.

Homes for TV and audio ratings are scientifically selected, so you can't volunteer to become a Nielsen Family. Can I talk about being a Nielsen Family? No. Once you begin participating, you can't share that you're part of the Nielsen ratings.

The Viewing Data In addition to the data from these official Nielsen homes, the agency uses paper surveys during the sweeps periods in February, May, July, and November. With this method, they gather mail-in viewing information from thousands of households outside the 56 largest U.S. media markets.

Nielsen sends mail to homes with invitations to complete short surveys on your media and consumer habits or to join our panels. Mail from Nielsen may include a survey that can be completed online, filled out and returned via mail, or done over the phone.

Our highly trained Nielsen representatives want the chance to tell you about the exciting opportunity to participate in the Nielsen ratings. All of our representatives carry a Nielsen photo ID badge to identify them. If you are unsure about the person at your door, call us at 1-800-237-6493.

Why did you contact me? Households were randomly selected to be the “voice” for others in your local area. By participating in our research, you have the opportunity to tell local businesses about your choices and preferences in consumer products and services so that they can serve you better.
