Make Your Voice Heard And Your Wallet Heavier With This Market Research Company
Constructive criticism is something everyone could use, but for brands, knowing what consumers think is their bread and butter. To get in depth-feedback, many brands contract market research companies like Branded Surveys to facilitate outreach. In exchange for the time you take to share your opinions through surveys, Branded Surveys will let you share in its profits by rewarding you with points that can be redeemed for gift cards and cash. With its surveys paying up to $20 in points each, this could be a great way to make a little extra spending money whenever you have a few minutes to spare.
To get matched with surveys that are relevant to you, complete a user profile and be as detailed as possible. Once you’ve earned 500 points ($5), you can start redeeming them for cash via PayPal and direct deposit or gift cards to popular retailers, restaurants, airlines, and subscription services.
Since 2012, Branded Surveys has paid over $20 million to its more than 2 million members (that’s about the population of Nebraska).
