SOME
USEFUL TIPS!!
What
if I can't attend a focus group that I agreed to attend?
While it's best to avoid such situations
as much as possible, sometimes this is nonetheless unavoidable.
If there is any doubt regarding attendance, the company
will need to know this information during the initial
interview (it will not necessarily bar anyone from the
group.) Market research companies also appreciate notification
of cancellation as soon as possible, and information
on a friend or colleague who might be able to fill in.
On
the other side of the coin, they might enter into a
situation where they cannot maintain an invitation to
a focus group. The reasons for this are usually logistical,
ie. they are unable to find enough people to join in
the focus group, the client decides to cancel the group
or move the focus group to a different region of the
country, etc. While companies make every effort to avoid
these situations, they will contact those invited as
soon as possible if there are any changes to a focus
group.

What are the companies looking
for? How can I get the best surveys?
It is crucial that you know what the research companies
are looking for before you begin filling out your applications.
These suggestions will give you a great start and help
you receive more invitations to participate in research
projects.
- Be
honest. The people who review your applications are
trained to spot misleading or dishonest answers. They
will reject your application if they sense any dishonesty
and you will never know about it.
- Answer
all the questions on the application. Most times there
will be screening questions included in the application
that categorize you into different demographic groups.
These questions may include personal information such
as your age, race, political affiliation. You are
usually not disqualified for NOT providing this information
however if you don't answer a particular question
and they need this information for a particular research
project you may not qualify for that particular project.
The best course of action is to answer all questions.
- Complete
all the demographic sections of the application. Many
times there will be sections that ask you to indicate
your hobbies and interests or ask you to indicate
which products you own or plan to buy. Be sure to
complete these sections completely as they will be
used to screen your qualifications for different research
projects. For example, if you indicate
that you own or plan to buy a cell phone you may qualify
for a project that asks you to rate various cell phone
promotional offers.
- Most
of the demographic sections allow multiple answers.
Be sure to indicate all that apply to you. However,
don't over do it. You may be tempted to check all
the items in each section to improve your chances
of being selected. Don't do this. The reviewers are
trained to disqualified applicants who are obviously
embellishing their application. The best course of
action is to be honest and only select the items that
apply to you.
- Double
check that your name, mailing address and email address
are filled out correctly on the application. If you
provide the wrong email address a company will not
be able to contact you to participate. The mailing
address you provide on your application will be used
to mail your payment check.
