Subject: $100 Paid Market Research Focus Group-Video Games


You may have done a research group for my company, Infoco, before. I am recruiting males ages 14-30 who own and enjoy playing video games for a market research focus group. The meetings are 2 hours long and each participant will be paid $100 for attending. They are being conducted after school and evening on Tuesday, August 31 (downtown Chicago) and Wednesday, September 1 (Deerfield).

Again, this focus group is strictly for market research purposes and no sales attempt will be made now or ever as a result of your participation.

Please email me back at debbie@infocousa.com <mailto:matt@infocousa.com>  with  your age and  telephone number
 and I will contact you to discuss details. I would also appreciate if you could pass my message along to everyone you may know , thanks for your help on this one!

I have never done these focus things, and I know nothing about this. I am also to old to participate, so I wont be involved in this one.

If you try it, let me know how it went.

Wow, so already the focus group results will be skewed because of the age restrictions.

Yeah, they are targeting what is reported at the largest group of gamers.....typical for big business.

of course nobody plays games after their 30th birthday...  

no wonder much of the stuff available these days is mediocre.

old skool gamers understand the importance of gameplay  over the latest graphical effects
