FAQ The Lounge and Taking part in focus groups

Read the full list of frequently asked questions

The Lounge is Vision One’s research community of curious, opinion-sharing people who want to shape the future of brands. By taking part in paid research — from surveys to focus groups — you help companies improve products and services. Your voice genuinely influences real decisions.

You might join online focus groups, relaxed discussions, one-to-one interviews, product tests, or quick surveys. Topics range from food, travel and tech to finance, retail and lifestyle. No two studies are the same — which keeps things interesting. We also do mystery shopping, accompanied shopping trips, depth interviews or online surveys.

Not at all! We don’t want “experts” — we want real people. Your everyday opinions, habits, and experiences are exactly what businesses need to hear. If you can share honest feedback, you’re qualified.

Not all research is paid and there are times we are reliant on the public to help for free. However, in such cases where possible we do like to offer a free prize draw to give everyone the opportunity to win. However, our qualitative projects do pay well as they typically require 30mins up to a few hours. Focus groups typically pay around £70-100 for a 90-minute session.

Joining the Lounge is quick, free and simple. Complete a short registration form so we can learn a little about you. This helps us match you with relevant opportunities. Once you’re in, we’ll email you when suitable studies arise.

Absolutely. Your personal details are secure and used only for research purposes. We never sell your data. Anything you say is anonymised before being shared, so your privacy is always protected. (Note, We do not ask you to provide any official documents)

Vision One is an established, professional research agency working with leading brands. Our studies are well organised, respectful of your time, and fairly rewarded. The Lounge isn’t just about surveys — it’s about meaningful participation with real impact. We truly value your input and support.
