FAQ
What is market research?
- We are here to watch what you do and listen to your thoughts on websites, brochures, packaging etc., it's that simple.
- The information that is gathered is then used to determine how companies market their products
- Typically we ask you to look at some websites and afterwards have a chat about it in a very relaxed environment. However sometimes we may go to a local supermarket
How do I take part?
- After you have registered you will be sent a long questionnaire by Rozanne at SimpleUsability (Research Helper is a part of the larger SimpleUsability group)
- Once this questionnaire is filled in we will find the right project and then invite you in for a session, obviously giving you enough warning
- Once you have the session time all you are required to do is turn up at the time slot given
- We ask that you arrive 10 minutes before the session so we can make sure the day runs smoothly.
When is it?
- Our projects run throughout the year
- Sessions take place Monday to Friday; 9:30am to 5:00pm
I work full time, how can I take part?
- We can be flexible on timings and so if you can't make the day, we can run late evening sessions.
Where is it?
- Leeds city centre - a 10 minute walk from the train station
- When you are invited in for one of the projects we will send you clear directions with a detailed map
- Most of the research takes place in our offices in central Leeds, but sometimes it will be at a supermarket or other shop. If this happens we will give you clear instructions of where you need to be and at what time.
I filled in the questionnaire but haven't been invited to take part in any research, what now?
- Depending on the project you could hear from us next week, or in the next few months, but all of your information will be stored on our records
- If it has been a while since you have heard from us, it just means that we are waiting for the right project to come along for you.
- A monthly newsletter will be sent out which will tell you about all of the different projects and be your chance to recommend a friend that you think could be suitable and earn an extra £5 Amazon voucher
Am I suitable?
- Yes!
- If you are over the age of 16, can get to Leeds city centre and want to earn extra cash this is for you.
How does refer a friend work?
- If you direct your friend/family member to our site there is a section for them to put your name in it
- If your friend is chosen to come in and take part in the market research then you will be awarded a £5 Amazon voucher.
- When this happens, you need to get in touch with us, put Recommend a friend in the title and direct you request to rozanne@simpleusability.com who will send out the voucher
- Vouchers are sent out at the end of each month.
