Branded Surveys, a market research company, is offering cash rewards to Americans who sign up and complete their online surveys. The company began offering cash for your opinion on May 1, according to its press release.
Your Opinion Matters
Did you know that your opinion about products, services, packaging, product quality, pricing and other things matter? Yes, indeed, it does. Every business- from medium-sized businesses that operate within your country to large multinational corporations always looks for your opinions to improve their product and service quality.
And the good news is that branded Surveys are willing to pay for your opinion, too.
Why Branded Surveys Pay for Your Opinion? (My Honest Review)
The reason is simple. As I mentioned earlier, all top brands or those who wish to make their presence felt strongly in the local or international markets face stiff competition. As renowned American management expert, author, and motivational speaker Peter Drucker says: “Every business has only two functions: marketing and innovation.”
Therefore, your opinion about brands helps organizations in both these endeavours- marketing and innovation. They want your opinion to market the right kind of products and services to the largest possible number of customers.
On the other hand, innovation helps them to stay ahead and steal a head-start over other major competitors in the market. This ensures they get a lion’s share of the market pie.
Usually, such organizations hire a market research company to do online branded surveys on their behalf. In turn, these market research companies send online surveys to members of their online community.
Since such organizations seek honest reviews that would help them better market their products and services or innovate their market offerings, they’re willing to pay you for the effort.

However, they will ask for broad details about your location, such as the city or town and state where you live, in the form of a ZIP code.
