FRAUD ALERT-Important info



Males and females, all ages required to attend focus groups, taste tests and t.v previews. Groups in Toronto are centrally located accessible via T.T.C. Public transit. They are 10min-3hrs in length. There is absolutely no selling involved! As a matter of fact, in order to qualify for a specific group you will require some previous experience or knowledge on the topic, which we can determine on the basis of the online application form  for that specific group.

Why do they pay you?

Conducting focus groups to audiences reflective of the community, prevents the expenses of failure.You make or break the idea by providing honest feedback.

Who should register?

Males and females all ages! Since different ideas and products are targeted towards different consumers, everyone can attend at some point depending on the audience being targeted for that specific group. The topics are endless. Regardless of your personal demographics, your opinion is valuable. 

What if I am not honest in my application?

Our clients are relying on us to give them genuine consumers who want to give their opinions to improve products etc. not just for the money.  If we determine that you are attempting to mislead us ie. using different ages, applying within the restricted time frame etc. we will no longer consider any of your applications and/or remove you from receiving e-mail alerts.

What If I am scheduled to participate but, I can't make it?

The person who contacts you by phone will be responsible for having a perfect attendance.  Therefore you must contact them and advise them giving them as much notice as possible so that they may replace you.  Failure to provide advance notice jeopardizes our contracts so we will have no other option but to cancel any other applications from you without further consideration.


What can I expect after I register?

You will be contacted by way of e-mail focus group alerts and informed of the date, location, length of group, the general location, and amount of cash you will receive for your participation. You will be asked a few questions on the specific application form to determine your familiarity with the subject so that we can qualify you and register you in for that specific group. Get paid cash for your opinions!!

How many different groups must I register for before I am invited?

At times it may get frustrating, it was worse when we were calling and asking all the questions only to determine someone did not qualify near the end of the lengthy conversation.  This is a much simpler way of determining your eligibility.  Some people get in the very first time they apply others may make numerous attempts before they are successful, it really depends on the requirements of the group and how fast it gets filled. Please see our privacy policy.
