Frequently Asked Questions About Our Focus Group Company
How much does a focus group cost?

How do you gather focus group participants?

Based on our experience, our focus group company selects the best recruitment method to save you time and costs. Our market research recruitment agency also follows a streamlined process to screen and re-screen participants to assure they accurately match your target audience.
What is the better option - online or offline focus groups?
Both online and offline focus groups have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between the two largely depends on the research objectives and the target audience.
Online focus groups offer several benefits such as convenience, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility to a geographically dispersed audience. While offline focus groups, on the other hand, offer the advantage of face-to-face interaction, which can lead to more in-depth insights and a greater level of engagement among participants.
