How does it work?

Mediabarn is always seeking new participants to assist us with our user studies and focus groups. We will use your feedback to help understand user needs and improve products and services. You may be invited to participate in a one-on-one interview or as part of a group discussion. You will be asked to share your opinions about a particular product, service or issue. Sessions typically last between one and two hours and most people describe their participation as fun and interesting.

How do I get paid?

Each person who participates in a study will receive an honorarium, typically in the form of gift card, check, or cash. You will receive it either in person at the end of your session or in the mail after your participation. The amount varies from study to study. You will be informed of the amount and type of honorarium if you are invited to participate in a study. The honorarium is offered as a thank-you for volunteering your time and sharing your opinions. It does not represent wages or salary and participation in a research study is not considered a part-time job or a source of income.

Who can participate?

We look for a diverse group of people with different backgrounds and experience for each study. We also strive to include fresh respondents, so you will be invited to participate in a study once or twice per year - with occasional exceptions. In addition, we generally prefer to have group participants without prior relationships with each other, so it is unlikely that we would invite friends or family to participate in the same study.

How do I sign up?

To join our pool of participants, we ask that you complete a quick profile questionnaire. This includes personal questions such as age, income, and education to ensure a mix of backgrounds. However, this information is kept strictly confidential and is used solely to ensure a representative segment of the population. Please see our privacy policy for additional information. When a study comes up that could benefit from your insights, we'll be in touch!

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

Please call us at (703) 964-0440 immediately if you can not make your appointment. Please do not send anyone to replace you.
