Anyone have any Consumer Research tips?

OK. So I have signed up with just about every single focus group company there is. When will I hear off them? In a year or three? LOL.

Friend of a friend organises these research groups in the London/north london area.. I got £150 + dinner for a 2 hour discussion on robotic vacuum cleaners

Any in Leeds? They all seem to be in London. Not fair.

I signed up to Fhios a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything back which is disappointing. I would recommend Saros to anyone outside of London, they do northern and also midland based research. If you're in or near London then I'd recommend focus4people because they regularly email me with the available groups which makes it nice and easy to apply. I've been with them about 3 months now I'd say and I've done one study, but I haven't been applying for all of them so I can't complain.

i registered with fhios ages ago never heard either.

Well at least I know it's not just me then. Maybe we'll hear something in the new year. I'm going to phone them up in Jan to chase them up, I could really do with some focus groups to bring in some extra pennies.

couldnt we all:D

Yes, I've signed up to all of them too, but no replies as of yet or invites. Not best pleased!
