There are different types of research studies you can expect to be invited for:

• Online surveys
• Online real-time discussion groups with a small group of people
• Online research communities with around 50 to 150 people discussing a shared topic over a longer period of time
• Individual blogging talking to a moderator one-on-one on a daily basis
• Online real-time interviews

The subjects of those studies can differ as well. This can go from evaluating a service to testing new products or talking about your day-to-day television watching habits.

The studies you will be invited for can either be initiated by InSites Consulting, the owner of the Future Talkers panel, or by CINT, our partner. You will recognize the difference in the invites sent to you. 

We try to give everyone equal opportunity to participate so as not to spam you with too many research projects. The frequency of the invitations can vary from one a month to once a week, with the exception of the Super Talkers, who will receive a maximum of one invite a day. 

For some surveys the participants need a specific profile (age, education, hobbies...). In other words, it is perfectly possible that you are invited less frequently because we are looking for people with a profile which is different from yours.

Check the e-mail address you entered when you joined the panel. People have been known to make typos in their subscription or to change their e-mail address without modifying their profile in the panel. You can always consult your e-mail address and other personal particulars here.

To avoid that our e-mails end up in your spam, we advise you to add no-reply@mail.futuretalkers.com to your contact list or address book.

Definitely not. Of course we prefer you to participate in every study we invite you for, but life gets busy sometimes, so we understand if you cannot participate every single time. In the invite, you have the opportunity to decline participation in that specific study, which ensures we will not send you any reminder mails for that study anymore.

If the ‘GO TO SURVEY!’ button does not work, you can try copy the entire link at the bottom of the e-mail invitation to a new web browser window. 

You may not qualify for a survey for many different reasons such as demographic criteria and/or consumer habits. We make sure to place questions that could disqualify our members from the survey at the beginning of the survey.

Another reason for which you may be stopped from completing a survey is because we have reached the requested number of respondents for your particular profile, in which case the system closes the survey automatically.

We recommend you keep your profile up to date, as this will increase your chances of getting invited to surveys for which you match the profile.

Surveys are sent automatically when your profile closely matches most of the requirements of the survey.

However, there will be times when a sufficient number of people have already participated or when you are screened out. Instead of totally stopping your participation, the system automatically searches for another survey that also closely matches your profile.

That way you get another opportunity to participate in another survey and obtain a reward.
