All I know about Baker St. Solutions (http://www.bakerstsolutions.com/panelist.html) is that I just took the survey on condoms below.

Dear Lee,

Another survey opportunity from Baker St Solutions!

You received this email because in the past you have indicated an interest in applying to be part of some of the consumer research we do here at Baker St.

We are looking nationwide for some consumers to participate in a fun online survey in the next day or two about a personal care product. The survey should take around 7 or 8 minutes, we estimate. The first 200 respondents who are eligible and who complete the entire survey will be emailed a $7.50 Amazon.com Gift Certificate as a thank you for your feedback. By the way, once you are in the survey, there is no need to hurry with your answers. Once you have started the survey, your answers count as long as you finish in the same sitting. Please allow about 4 weeks for processing the GC.

Note: there are certain age range and other demographic and product-use factors we need for this particular study. If you click on the link below, and start into the survey and you get past those first number of questions and eventually you are shown some artwork and a description of a specific product idea, then you qualified for the study and will receive the incentive. If, however, the survey ends before you get to the specific product idea then, sadly, this particular study required a different demographic or product use. Maybe next time!

The survey, I believe, should only take about 7 or 8 minutes to thoughtfully and candidly complete. If you are interested---and I hope you are---please just click on the link below. First come, first served!

Thank you very much!

Appreciatively,
Dave Smith

Well in the main page it says "Panelists can receive money for participating in our studies. Sign up Today! " so shouldn't it be in surveys that pay in cash threa. I'm guessing you haven't made any cash with them and are still learning what this panel is al about.

The benefits of Hedonic Discovery are exponential, versus a ‘typical’ Focus Group approach to gain
in-depth consumer knowledge.

Baker Street Solutions has perfected a methodology that increases the success rate of new initiatives by 3X


Its success is in its apparent simplicity.

We focus on the deep consumer understanding that is required as the foundation of any new marketing and/or product initiative...
Specifically, why do people buy, repeat, and stay loyal?

I have never heard of this panel so I'm in the same boat as Lee. What I'm wondering is how you know they pay with gift cards and merchandise if you say "All I know about Baker St. Solutions is that I just took the survey on condoms below."

Any this panel does not fit my profile and it doesn't look at interesting by looking at their homepage.

Well Today I joined this since they say they pay in gift cards. After I entered my information, they showed me my responses and they did NOT ask me to create a pasword. I wonder why. Anyway I hopefully I will receive some surveys from them soon.

I just joined too. I guess they don't ask us to create a password because they recruit on a project by project basis:

Thank you for joining the Baker St. Solutions panelist program!
As a panelist you can earn money participating in one of our surveys.
Our recruiting is done on a project by project basis.
Most of our studies involve consumer products of some kind but can also include a range of other topics.
We will contact you when we have an upcoming survey we think may interest you.

This week I received the first email from Baker St. And I've been a member for about 6 months. They mailed me a TV movie script to read & then complete a short survey. I'm supposed to receive a $25 amazon card. I'd love to do these all the time. And the survey was short & to the point. Great! I hope it's not another 6 months before I hear from them again.

I hear from Baker Street Solutions two to three times per year. It's a nice surprise when they email me, but I don't bother tracking them any longer. I might have made $50 with them over the past two years, but I doubt it.
