Testing Products at Home with Ipsos iSay: How It Works, Responsibilities, and Checklist

Many people ask: how can I become a product tester?

At Ipsos iSay, this is a core part of your membership in our online survey community. There's no separate sign-up just for product tests. Instead, all registered members can get invited to tests, as long as their profile matches the audience we're looking for.

To boost your chances of getting an invite, just keep your profile up to date. The better we know your interests and lifestyle, the easier it is to match you with the right projects.

If you're selected for a product test, the process usually follows a clear pattern. We value transparency, so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 1: Update Your Profile 

To get selected, keep your profile up to date. Specifically, fill out the "Special Studies and Communities" survey. This helps us match you with the right products.

Step 2: Take Part Regularly

Check your dashboard often. Qualifying surveys for product tests look just like normal ones. Spaces are limited, so the more active you are, the better your chances of getting picked.

Step 3: Test the Product 

If you're selected, the product will be sent straight to you. Follow the included instructions and use the product in your daily routine. Be ready to give honest, detailed feedback on the pros and cons.

Step 4: Get Rewarded 

After testing, complete the follow-up survey to share your thoughts. You'll earn Ipsos iSay points for your time, which you can swap for gift cards and more.

Tip: Active members get access to more exclusive tests!

Becoming a product tester sounds brilliant, but it also comes with some responsibility. Our clients rely on the careful feedback of Ipsos iSay members. To make sure the test is a success for everyone, just keep these points in mind:

• Read Instructions: Before you test the products, please read the enclosed instructions carefully. Sometimes there are specific requirements for how to use them.
• Honesty: Your opinion really counts, whether it's positive or critical. Only honest feedback helps manufacturers improve their products.
• Reliability: Make sure you complete the follow-up online survey within the given timeframe.
• Confidentiality: Because you're often testing products before they're released, it's strictly forbidden to share any content. This means no photos, videos, screenshots, or descriptions, and no discussing the products with anyone outside the testing programme while the test is active. This includes posting on social media.

Note: If you reliably take part in tests and carefully complete the online surveys, you've got a good chance of being invited to test products at home again in the future.

Of course, your effort shouldn't go unrewarded. You'll earn points for taking part in studies – whether it's a standard online survey or a complex product test with a follow-up survey.

You can redeem these points for attractive rewards in our extensive rewards catalogue. These include:

• Gift cards for popular online shops and retailers (e.g., Amazon).
• PayPal credit for maximum flexibility.
• Donations to charitable organisations, if you want to give back.
