Mention the phrase "Market Research" to anybody and they will probably conjure up images of annoying people with clipboards in grey, cheerless shopping centres, asking for "five minutes" of the unlucky punter's time.
Online Reseach
However in these frugal times, many websites offer the internet user the opportunity to gain shopping vouchers and a small cash reward in return for filling in small, compact surveys. These surveys do not task the brain, and can be completed by the surfer in their own time, be it over a lunch hour, at home, or in an internet cafe.
Simple Surveys
One such website is Onepoll.com. The user creates an account, and once he/she has logged on, is offered the dual option of either filling in surveys for a small amount of cash per survey, or "competition surveys" that on completion, will enter the participant in a prize draw, usually for a £25 voucher for shopping website Amazon.
