Offline Surveys

Get Paid to do Taste Tests and Market Research

Offline Surveys.

I’m sure you have heard of Online Surveys, but did you know that you can do Offline Surveys in person, too?



Yes, you can get paid for your opinion!

These are similar to Focus Groups but they generally are less specific, quicker, and pay a lot less.

Many larger cities across the US have Market Research Firms that conduct surveys.

You can find these Market Research Firms in strip malls and in various malls across the country.

I’m sure you’ve walked through the mall and seen those people with the clipboards approaching shoppers asking for their help with a survey.

You may have been approached yourself.

If you are like most people, you probably have not stuck around long enough to hear the punch line.

Many, though not all, of these surveyors offer cash incentives for your time.

The incentive is usually low, under $10, but it might pay for lunch at the mall! Also, often you get to try new products before they are putting on the market.

I have done smaller offline surveys for the following types of products:
--electric toothbrushes
--Febreze
--soda
--movies
--pudding
--breakfast snacks
--toys
--body wash

Some locations also offer Taste Tests. This is where you get to try a new (or current) product from a restaurant or company, and answer questions about how you liked it.

We have a local firm here that does Burger King taste tests. You get $20 for a half hour of your time and can do it every 6 weeks.

Even the kids can do it!

Keep your eyes peeled. Ads for participants are in local papers, bulletin boards, Craigs List, and even on radio stations. And remember, network with other participants to find out about the companies that do not do much advertising.
