Answers to your questions

Here are a few of our most commonly asked questions:

For Clients:

What services do you provide?

We are a full-service boutique market research firm and focus group facility. We provide recruitment, moderation and analysis for qualitative and quantitative research projects. From in-house focus groups about bottled water to a worldwide online study about banking, we are experienced and eager to show you what we can do.

Is there anything you don’t do?

There’s not much! If there’s something specific you’re looking for that’s not listed on our website, please contact us. We come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, and we are always up for a new challenge.

Where do you recruit?

We recruit everywhere! We host focus groups in our newly remodeled Roseville facility, but we can recruit to anywhere in the world. For markets where we do not have a physical space to host the research, we work with like-minded, pre-screened research partners or leading hotel conference venues.

How are you different?

We like to think of ourselves as small but mighty. We are not a large call center or market research chain. We are a boutique marketing research consulting group with a vast international reach.

Why should we conduct our market research at your Roseville facility?

Our newly remodeled innovation lab and research facility offer a unique and stimulating place to hold your next research project. Roseville is a bustling community surrounded by leading technology companies, active adult-living communities and access to a vast array of demographics. We are also conveniently located near State Route 65 and I-80, offering respondents and clients quick access to our building.

We pride ourselves on top-notch recruiting, and our clients always receive our full attention. Ninja Sushi and Teriyaki across the street also makes a great spot for an after-project debrief.

For Participants:

Who are you?

C² Research, Inc. is an independent market research company. We conduct market research focus groups and interviews for various clients in the United States and worldwide.

What is market research?

Market research is a way for companies and businesses to understand the needs of their customers and to get feedback about their products, services and advertisements. Our focus groups and interviews are for market research purposes only; absolutely no sales are involved.

Why should I participate in a focus group?

Focus groups are a great opportunity for you to have your opinions heard. You can directly influence the direction of a product. Also, as a thank you for your time and opinions, you are paid a honorarium.

Who are your clients?

We have a wide variety of clients serving all industries. The one thing they have in common is that they are interested in, and value, your opinions.

Where did you get my phone number or email address from?

We use a three-prong approach for generating leads—social networking/word of mouth, advertising to drive traffic to our online registration page and purchasing names through list brokers.

How often can I do focus groups with your company?

Usually you will be invited to 1-2 focus groups or interviews per year at C² Research, Inc.

What happens at a focus group?

Typically a focus group consists of 8-10 individuals who participate in a group discussion led by a moderator. You may watch a new TV pilot or commercial, taste-test a new product or discuss new packaging. Each focus group is unique, and our participants usually really enjoy the experience.

I am on the Do Not Call Registry. Why was I called?

Market research and surveys are exempt from the FTC’s National Do Not Call Registry. However, if you are not interested in participating in market research studies with C² Research, Inc., please email info@c2research.com and we will not contact you again.
