>Parents Insight Network

>

I’m a member of the Parents Insight Network.  I cannot even remember how I stumbled upon it, but it was several months ago.  It intrigued me so I decided to sign up.  I will say I have not (yet!?) been selected to do any of the tests but I have completed some easy, fast surveys for them.  I like being part of networks like this, it makes me feel like brands are actually going to hear my voice, and listen to what I have to say.  
You can sign up here if you are interested in participating (If  believe you are asked who you were referred by, either put Brett M. or This Mama Loves Her Bargains if you are so inclined.)  I asked Lisa O. earlier today if she could give me some specifics of brands they’ve done programs with and products and here is what she shared:

Brands worked with: Kolcraft, Goldbug, Eddie Bauer, Jeep, Target, Carter’s

Projects have included:  Shopping trips to Target for $50 gift cards where parents evaluated an entire section of the store.  (Um, hello?  Getting paid to shop at Target?  Sign me up please (no pressure, Parents Insight.  I just appreciate the greatness of Target). 

A product test with a new front carrier for Eddie Bauer (currently sold at Target!) where parents completed diaries and received $100 for their time

Lots of quick online surveys where parents gave feedback on strollers, entertainers, slings, books, and lots more!

 
 
 
 
So there you have it.  Parents Insight Network.  I’m not being paid or benefitting in any way, shape or form from this post nor from my name being used as a referral in the sign up (I think they just want to know how their name is being spread).  I just like having my voice heard and since so far, most of my readers seem to be moms of young kids like myself, I thought I’d share. 
 
Look for more posts like this to come!! Please feel free to comment or send me a message if you have other panels or programs like this you are a participant in.

    >Steph L. asked a good question this morning- the link in my post above for the survey monkey thing is ONLY to sign up- you will not find other surveys to answer on that – Parents Insight emails all other opportunities directly to your in box. They do also have a facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=43064000860&ref=ts

    >Brett captured it exactly! We can really influence the businesses that we support with every trip to Target or elsewhere by providing them feedback on their products. The Parents Insight Network is an organization to facilitate just that! Please sign up!!Lisa, The Parents Insight Network
