Pontiac Vibe Research - GenVibe member participation opportunity

Post by **NSimkins** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 6:35 am

I was contacted by Amanda at TideWatch, a Market Research company that was contracted by GM to conduct research on Pontiac vehicles, in our case, the Vibe.This is a limited opportunity to join a research group about the Vibe via an online discussion participation session. Here is the official info and link below:Quote, originally posted by TideWatch Â»Subject: Opportunity to share your thoughts directly with Pontiac! Pontiac is conducting research among the online Pontiac Ã¢Â€ÂœenthusiastÃ¢Â€Â community and would like to invite our members to participate. The goal of the research is to better understand our interests and feelings about Pontiac, why we participate in communities like ours and how Pontiac can help or further add to our involvement in online communities. TideWatch, the company Pontiac has hired to do the research, is conducting a series of online focus groups (each lasting roughly 1.5 hours) in the next few weeks. The research will be online so no travel is required Ã¢Â€Â“ you can share your thoughts from the comfort of your own home or office! If you are interested in participating in this research, you can click on the link below Ã¢Â€Â“ it will take you to a series of questions youÃ¢Â€Â™ll need to answer in order to see if you qualify. You should have access to a high-speed Internet connection and be a current member of at least one online forum like this one in order to participate, and you cannot be an employee of an automotive manufacturer or dealer. Pontiac Research - Click to take initial surveyThose who qualify will be contacted directly by TideWatch to schedule participation. Any questions about the research can be directed to: PontiacResearch@tidewatch.com.More info on TideWatch: click hereI wanted to pass this along to present Pontiac (Vibe) owners on the site for an opportunity to participate in these sessions in order for you to voice your opinions towards this research. I gain nothing from this just incase anyone was wondering, I'm just passing this along to my fellow GVC members.

Ok that would be odd because they ask if you do which I answered yes and typed in Subaru so maybe thats why it worked...

Quote, originally posted by jake75 Â»They want you to do this for free?No one is forcing you to do this... Some people like to take surveys like this with knowing that their input may help change things for further vehicles, etc.. $ would be nice though, but I believe not offered in this instance.Looks like the response has been good so far, I hope everyone interested qualifies and can participate.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:55 am

they also ask if you're an administrator or a forum owner of such forums.... so that takes both Phil and I out again. oh well... i'm sure you guys will do a great job representing the GVC community!
