Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What is a Focus Group?

A focus group is a guided conversation where you share your thoughts with a small group of people. A professional moderator will lead the discussion—no need to prepare or be an expert. Just be yourself and share your opinions!

We also conduct one-on-one interviews, online surveys, and product tests.

How It Works

  1. Sign Up
    Join our database by completing a quick registration form. It’s free and confidential.
  2. Get Invited
    When a study matches your profile, we’ll reach out by email, text, or phone to see if you qualify.
  3. Participate & Get Paid
    Complete the study and receive payment via digital reward card.

Is this legitimate?

Yes! We’ve been in business for over 20 years, working with major brands and research firms. This is strictly market research—no sales or follow-up marketing.

How much will I be paid for participating in focus groups?

The amount paid for each study will vary depending on length of commitment and other factors.  You will always be informed of the payment amount in advance of being invited to participate.

How often can I participate?

Industry guidelines dictate that consumers should participate in no more than one focus group every six months. Focus group companies keep track of how frequently people participate in focus groups. If asked, you should be truthful about your participation. People who abuse participation guidelines are flagged to not be used in future research.

Can I sign up my whole family?

Yes, all members of your household may participate in research. Participation is tracked by the individual.
