Market Research / Focus Groups

Options
I occasional participate in local market research focus groups.
Its probably been discussed on here somewhere already.

I regualy get sent emails about up and coming groups, alot of the time I cannot do due to work commitments.

If I post some on here, would anyone be interested?
Its usually in north london/herts area and sometimes in london.

For example this one I recieved today:
Hi
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS DIFFICULT PROJECT

I am looking for first time mums with babies aged 3-6ths who are about
to introduce solids into their babies diet!
The groups will take place in Edgware during the day either next
Thursday or Friday.
They will last for 1 1/2hrs and each mummy will receive £35.
All together I am looking for 24 mums!!!!!!
Pleas would you be kind enough to pass this to anyone who you fell
might like to take part.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this

Please let me know if you can help

Kind regards


You obviously have to registar with the 'agency' but its easy cash in hand and sometimes its quite fun (god am I sad!)

  • Hi when I lived in England I used to do this could you advise the organisations name or ask them if they are arranging any sessions in Glasgow or Edinburgh AreaMany thanks
    Freebie Manor was the name on the Plaque my mum gave me for first home which was equiped with freebie banded cups, teapot, coffee pot oh and a sofa which cost a bottle of Vodka. My motto's are don't ask dont get, and don't buy if they say no.

  • Hi
    I am working on it, just found a new web site designer and sorting out what we need to do. In the meantime if anyone wants to be considered for participation in market research group discussions (focus groups) then PM me and I'll find a colleague in your part of the country to pass your name on to.
    If you live in Nottingham then you could go on my list.

    Hi Lynne

    I PMed you a few days ago about the Nottingham list - any joy?

    If not, no worries.
  • Hi
    I've just replied to a load of messages and then deleted them so can't check who they were from. But you should have had one from me just now. If not, please can you PM me again and include your e-mail.
    I either replied via PM, or e-mailed if there was an e-mail address in the PM.

  • Just to let you all know that the first person I have "met" through MSE is coming to her first market research group discussion at my house tonight.
    Looking forward to meeting you Liz!

    Hi
    See my reply above from yesterday. Work has started on it at last and I'll keep you all posted and maybe ask for some beta testing comments.
