Are focus groups still valuable?
They are perhaps more valuable than ever. With today’s unique media environment, it’s easier to reach consumers, but it’s much more difficult to truly connect with them. Many successful marketers are moving back to the “good old days” of actually talking to people through interviews and focus groups – rather than merely looking at web trends and stats. With true engagement and storytelling valued so highly, understanding how people think and why they act is critical to making decisions about product development, marketing and more.
Why participate in research?
It can be both fun and rewarding to join a focus group or other type of research. Not only do you get to voice your opinion, but you can materially affect the products and services that matter to you and your family. You also receive either an incentive or gift for attending.
