What is LINE Research?

LINE Research is a dedicated smartphone research platform provided by LINE Yahoo!
With approximately 6.85 million survey monitors (as of March 2024)—one of the largest in the industry—it allows for highly targeted survey distribution based on user attributes.

LINE Research is particularly strong in efficiently reaching students and young adults, a demographic often difficult to approach with conventional online research.

Now certified as a LINE Research Official Partner, Cross Marketing Inc. can offer an even broader range of research methods.
