• Make sure to fill out the "Special Studies and Communities" profiling survey. This tells us what types of products and studies you’d be interested in. 
• The more up-to-date your profile is, the better we can match you with relevant studies. 

Ipsos iSay runs a variety of product tests, but each one has its own criteria. 

• If a product test aligns with your profile, you may receive a qualifying survey. These surveys appear just like any other on your Ipsos iSay dashboard. The best way to improve your chances? Stay active! Keep your profile updated and participate in as many surveys as possible. The more you engage, the better your opportunities. 
• Some product tests have limited slots, so completing surveys regularly keeps you in the running for upcoming opportunities. 

Congratulations, you’ve been selected! 

• The product will be shipped directly to your home, along with detailed instructions on how to test it. 
• Use the product as instructed, just like you would in your everyday routine. Brands want real, honest feedback, so take notes on what you like, what could be improved, and any standout features. 

Your opinion makes a difference, and we make sure it’s rewarded. 

• Once you’ve tested the product, you’ll receive a follow-up survey where you can share your experience. 
• You’ll earn Ipsos iSay points for completing the survey, which you can redeem for a variety of exciting rewards like gift cards, prepaid cards, and more. 

Pro tip: The more surveys you complete, the better your chances of being qualified for exclusive product tests. So, stay active and keep an eye on your inbox. 

Testing new products is exciting, but it’s important to remember that these opportunities come with responsibilities. 

• Do not share product details on social media – including photos, videos, or reviews. 
• Do not tag Ipsos iSay or the brand in any posts related to the test. 
• Follow all provided instructions regarding confidentiality to ensure you remain eligible for future product testing opportunities. 

Here’s what makes product testing such a great opportunity. 

Receive Free Products 

One of the biggest perks of product testing is that you get to try out new and innovative products for free before they even hit the market.  

Whether it’s a new skincare formula, a household gadget, or a snack brand’s latest creation, you get an exclusive first look without spending a dime. 

Shape the Future of Consumer Goods 

Your opinion matters. Companies rely on real consumer feedback to improve their products, fine-tune their formulas, and enhance packaging or usability. When you participate, you’re not just testing. In fact, you’re actively influencing what millions of consumers will see on store shelves. 

Earn Rewards for Your Feedback 

Beyond the excitement of trying new products, you’ll also earn Ipsos iSay points for completing follow-up surveys.  

These points can be redeemed for a variety of rewards, including gift cards, prepaid cards, and more. It’s an easy and rewarding way to turn your opinions into something valuable. 

Convenience & Flexibility 

Unlike traditional focus groups that require you to travel, product testing happens right at home. You get to test products in a way that fits naturally into your daily routine. There’s no scheduling hassle, no extra commitments, just a simple, enjoyable way to experience new products and share your thoughts.

If you enjoy product testing, you might love another unique Ipsos iSay opportunity: Live Studies. While product testing lets you try out new items at home, Live Studies take engagement a step further by bringing you into the conversation in real time. 

What Are Live Studies? 

Live Studies allow Ipsos iSay members to share their opinions in a more interactive way. Instead of just answering a survey or testing a product at home, you’ll participate in focus groups or online discussions about a variety of topics, including: 

• New product ideas before they’re finalized 
• Services and customer experiences from major brands 
• Social topics and emerging trends that affect everyday life 

Why Participate in Live Studies? 

Live Studies are an exciting way to dive deeper into the topics that matter to you. Brands and organizations don’t just want to hear what consumers think, they want to understand why they feel a certain way. That’s why these studies often involve open discussions, where participants can elaborate on their opinions, provide feedback in real time, and even debate different perspectives. 

What to Expect 

If selected for a Live Study, you’ll typically be invited to: 

• A real-time digital discussion, which involves text-based chats and answering on some polls. 
• An online focus group, where you’ll discuss your thoughts with a small group of participants. 

Participation is straightforward—no experience required. Just share your honest thoughts and get rewarded for your time. 

Live Studies are a great way to not only make your voice heard but also see the direct impact of your feedback. If you enjoy discussing topics in depth and influencing decision-making, this might be the perfect opportunity for you. 

Ipsos iSay Product Testing isn’t just about trying new products. It’s about making a real impact in the world.  

As a tester, you’re not only among the first to experience innovative products, but your honest feedback directly influences how brands refine, improve, and bring those products to market. 

Beyond product testing, Live Studies offer another way to engage, discuss, and shape the future of consumer goods and services. And with each study you participate in, you earn Ipsos iSay points, turning your opinions into real rewards. 

The best part? Joining is easy, free, and flexible. Whether you’re signing up for the first time or updating your profile to qualify for more studies, taking action now increases your chances of being selected.

• Completing all required profiling surveys 

To increase your chances, keep your profile updated and continue participating in surveys.

For any unexpected reactions or medical concerns, discontinue use immediately and contact the medical phone number provided in the product instructions. 

What happens after I complete the product test? 

Once you’ve used the product, you’ll receive a follow-up survey where you can share your honest feedback. After completing the survey, Ipsos iSay points will be added to your account, which you can redeem for rewards.
