Get paid to test products

First of all, you need to become a Sense:bud by registering via the following link: Click here

You will be asked to complete a ‘joiner survey’. The answers you provide to these questions will help us identify relevant studies to invite you to.

Once signed up, you will be provided with log on details to your own personal Sense:bud Dashboard where you can update your contact details and update your joiner survey information to ensure that you are invited to the studies most relevant to you. The dashboard can be found here:

Alternatively, send us an email and we’ll update your details for you: [email protected]

Shopper – You are invited along to a mock-up shop, including aisles and tills. You complete a shop based on your normal habits and then are asked about certain aspects of your experience.

Face-to-face – You are invited to test a product in our specially designed sensory booths at the Sense:Lab facility in Killingbeck, Leeds, and provide your feedback regarding certain aspects of that product. The interviews themselves may be carried out by one of our trained interviewers or you may be asked to self-complete a survey on a tablet.

Home Test – A product will be delivered to your home to use for a certain amount of time then feedback your opinions based on that usage, via an online survey.

Focus Groups – You will be invited, along with a small group of other consumers, to give in-depth opinions and views, to our trained moderators.

Online Surveys – You would be sent a survey by email to complete at your own leisure.

You can leave the panel at any time. The best way to do this is via the Accounts section on your own personal Sense:bud Dashboard: https://panels.blueyonder.agency/newdesign/site/blueyonder/memberlogin.php?returnPage=memberdashboard.php

Alternatively, you can send us an email to [email protected] requesting to be removed.

Usually, we send out invitations by email from [email protected].

Absolutely! Although many of our face-to-face tests take place at the facility in Leeds, we also run many around the country as well as home studies across the rest of the UK and beyond.

There are certain limits to the number of studies you can take part in but these limits change depending on the type of research taking place.

Usually, you will automatically be booked onto the study and you should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of completing the invitation survey. From time to time, we may need to call you first to check some additional information before confirming that you are eligible to take part.

If you haven’t received your confirmation email, email us at [email protected] along with the study code.

Just turn up! Our study host will meet you in reception and brief you on everything you need to know. We’ll let you know of any other specific requirements prior to arrival.

They will usually be delivered to you, however, for local Sense:buds, you may be required to pick them up from our facility.

This depends on the study, so we will make sure you know what needs to be done with the test product before you take part. If you do need to return the products, we always provide you with a return label.

In the first instance, give us a call on 0113 204 4021, so we can check if you can still attend.

We are usually able to rearrange appointments, please email [email protected] along with your study code.

Either call us on 0113 204 4021 or email [email protected] as soon as you can.

All our incentives are issued digitally. Upon completion of a study, you will be sent an email with a link to follow. You have a choice of a bank transfer, Amazon gift card, or PayPal transfer.

Only once all tasks have been completed for a study will you be entitled to the full incentive.

Unfortunately not. You need to take part in the full group session to be entitled to the full incentive.
