I found the time to run back and complete the instant survey from Synovate (Go to: Review, Synovate site). They had stated that it would only take 3 minutes and they were not kidding. It was one page that asked what products I owned, what pets I owned, what I fed them, and if I was interested in phone or mail-in surveys. That it!
As a result of this 3 minute survey, I received 1 entry into a drawing to receive one of the following CASH prizes:
One (1) Grand Prize of $1,000
Ten (10) Second Place Prizes of $100
Fifteen (15) Third Place Prizes of $50
Thirty (30) Fourth Place Prizes of $25
One Hundred Fifty (150) Fifth Place Prizes of $10
I decided to join Synovate (Go to: Review, Synovate site) today. This service seems to have decent a reputation so I decided to join it.
The registration form was a multi-page registration form that asked for the usual information on each person in the household as the other paid survey services (race, income, birthdates, house circumstanes, etc).
As expected the “Welcome” email showed up within a few seconds. The email expressed “Congratulations on joining Synovate Consumer Opinion Panel.” Nice warm and fuzzy feeling now, so this one has started out friendly. The email also contained a link to take survey immediately. The survey is stated to be “a quick 3 minute study on products and services owned by you and other members of your household.” The reward or incentive to complete this survey is a 1 entry into a sweepstakes drawing to receive one of the following CASH prizes:
One (1) Grand Prize of $1,000
Ten (10) Second Place Prizes of $100
Fifteen (15) Third Place Prizes of $50
Thirty (30) Fourth Place Prizes of $25
One Hundred Fifty (150) Fifth Place Prizes of $10
I don’t have the time to complete this survey right now, but will keep this email for completion in the short future.
