Online Focus Groups?

amy_

Hello, Does anyone know of where I can do an online focus group for free? Has anyone done this before?

Just looking around and there are alot of packages but you have to pay quite alot for them,

Its a long shot but maybe someone knows.

Thanks

Skype may prove useful for an online, real time audio focus group. There is software you can use to record the audio. Alternatively, you can try an e-mail focus group and analyse the responses from any number of participants. Failing that, use a site like http://www.chatzy.com/ to set up your own private chat room and invite all your participants to meet you in the room at a set time.
Be aware that both phone based and online text-based focus groups have their own strengths and weaknesses. Whatever you do, though, don't pay for something that you can get for free.
