These optional visits are also paid by the hour. During your application process, we will determine your consumer profile and establish what products would be suitable for you to test according to your demographics, lifestyle, consumer behavior, skills, hobbies, and abilities. Research questionnaires are used to identify and target certain types of consumers, to ensure the right participants are engaged and to achieve the representative sample needed.

Types of documentation commonly used for In-Home Usage Tests are snapshots, audio recordings, videos and Product Journals. •Attend online Skype meetings or conference call meetings with Account Managers, Brand Managers, Research Managers, Product Managers or small business owners to offer ongoing product usage feedback.
