Frequently Asked Questions About Our Focus Group Company

How much does a focus group cost?

The cost of a focus group can vary depending on several factors such as the number of participants, the location, the duration of the session, and incentives. On average, a standard focus group project can range from $4,000 to $12,000. 


How do you gather focus group participants?

There are several methods for gathering focus group participants, including paid social media ads, market research panels, or third-party panel vendors.

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.

A qualitative market research company, like Drive Research, can recommend what methodology is best based on your unique research needs and audience.
