Thumbs up Paid Market Research In-Home Interview for Hybrid Vehicle Owners

Hi - Elliott Benson is a marketing research firm in the Sacramento area, and we are looking for participants for a research study on the topic of Hybrid Vehicles. We are particularly interested in speaking with Hybrid Camry, Escape, Accord and Lexus 400h owners in the Sacramento, San Francisco and Lake Tahoe/ Reno areas. As a thank you for your time, we are offering an incentive of $100. There are no sales involved, this is strictly for research purposes. If you are interested, please click on the link below and complete the following online survey. A company rep will then contact you to schedule you a date and time.
Thanks!

Has anyone checked this out to see if the company doing this is legit?

Also, OP if you could provide a link to who you are & what your company is, that would be much appreciated.

Sorry to be skeptical, but surveymonkey.com sound a little suspicious.

Thanks!

SurveyMonkey is legit. My employer has used SurveyMonkey for conducting staff surveys.

I did the interview with them yesterday, and a friend that I trust implicity recommended them to me has done several surveys with them.

I have little doubt as to their reliability.

Now I can 100% vouch for this survey, received the check for $100.00 today, for 2+ hours of my time, which I enjoyed doing since I got to talk about my FEH!

I'm not in your target area (about 5 hours east), but I'd be happy to do the survey.

Hi,

I got a nice note from Daphne Hussey of Elliott Benson Research, the survey firm that ". . . we are limited to the Northern California region. . . ."

Darn! They don't even ask questions about hybrids in Huntsville AL . . . or is it they just don't ask me . . . <grins>
