How to Participate in a Focus Group
Your opinions are valuable to us, we'll even pay you for them! Fieldwork Seattle is a marketing research firm that specializes in collecting opinions from consumers of all ages on a wide variety of products and service. We have done research on everything from food to insurance to video games. The research is sponsored by major manufacturers who are interested
in receiving input from consumers regarding their products and services. When invited to one of our locations, you may find yourself in a discussion group with several other people like yourself, watching television commercials, looking at ideas for advertising or tasting a new product. We select respondents for participation based on basic demographic requirements for each individual study. At the time of the call, we will provide you with specific information regarding the focus group such as the date and time. If it seems convenient for you we will ask you some classification questions and invite you to attend the group if all the qualifications are met. If you are interested in participating in this important research you can register with us to receive phone calls and emails when a possible project comes up. In addition, be sure to check this page regularly for updates on the latest studies taking place. Groups are held at our Seattle facility located at 520 Pike Street, Suite 2610 in Seattle, WA. Take a few minutes and fill out as much information as possible. While all questions are optional, we have found that the more we know about you and your family, the more opportunities you will have to participate in a study. FAQs:
