Review:
FindFocusGroups is a marketplace for people seeking focus groups and focus groups seeking people. It doesn’t operate focus groups itself. FindFocusGroups collects data on the research firms that are seeking focus group participants. It then asks you questions to match you with the right research facility.
Focus groups are used by market researchers to see how new products or services might be viewed by either the general public or specific audiences. Those audiences might be parents with children, for example.
Participating in focus groups is a bit like taking a lengthy survey. However, you typically spend more time on a focus group — minimum of an hour — than you would with a survey. In addition, focus groups are often conducted in person at a research facility, rather than online. Finally, you’re often meeting with a group, rather than answering questions individually.
No-charge matching
FindFocusGroups may get some sort of referral fee from focus group operators. But it doesn’t charge you anything for the matching service. And the site itself is easy to use and likely to save you time trying to find individual focus groups in your neighborhood.
If you want to do this type of work, this is a great place to start.
