I agree but for other reasons. This marketing firm as well as a couple of others are only interested in certain ethnic groups opinions as though no other ethnic groups are consumers of certain products. Do not shy away from all research firms. There are some who realize that all opinions are valuable.
Just got a call from this number on both my home and cell phone. I ignored the cell and picked up the other one. It was a guy calling from Mini Cooper about being involved in a survey. I like my Mini, but I like it less after being bugged on a saturday afternoon by them. The guy was kinda a jerk too.
This is Adept Consumer testing, which is a wonderful market research testing company in Encino/Burbank/.Beverly Hills. You CANNOT get onto this database without giving your own information --either through doing focus groups in the past, like from ads on craigslist or Jen's List-- or signing up with the company. They pay you for your opinions.
Yeah definitley take this call. I made $150 for tasting and talking about Ovaltine, and another $75 for going to El Segundo and playing a new version of Scrabble (which is one of my favoite games ever and I'd have paid THEM to play it!!) I've never had a negative expeience with them. Even when they've called and I dont qualify for the survey, they are very polite.
I was called by this number and was asked if i was interested in an arts education. Oddly enough, I attend an arts school. They told me if im qualified i'd be paid $80. Im excited :)
