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 ability. 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. Job candidates for In-Home Usage Testing are also screened to meet the client---s needs for the project to ensure that the product is one that they qualify to test and that they have a balance of demographics and attitudes.
