Apologies for a somewhat off-topic message, but it's your own fault for
being such a friendly bunch that I thought you wouldn't mind as it may well
be of interest ...

For those who don't know, I work for a market research company, with most
of my research falling into the IT & telecoms sector. I'm going to be
running a focus group for a well-known printer manufacturer, looking at the
subject of colour printers. I'm looking for respondents to take part in
this group.

The people required are those:

- to whom others turn to for advice on HOME colour printer purchases
- who have given such advice within the last three months
- would describe themselves as knowledgeable and confident about PC/printer
technology
- who feel it's important to keep up-to-date with IT developments
- who would not rule out recommending either Hewlett-Packard or Epson
products

The group will take place in Islington on Tue 10th March at either 8pm or
8.30pm, and will last for 90 minutes. The main motivation for those taking
part is that your views will influence the development of future products,
but you'll also receive 40 quid for your trouble.

I should stress that we're a bona-fide research company, that absolutely
nobody will try to sell anything to anyone who takes part and that nobody
will go onto any mailing-lists! We don't want to risk biasing responses by
revealing the identity of the client ahead of time, but it is either Epson
or Hewlett-Packard, and you'll find out which of the two during the group.

Would anyone here be interested?

If so, please could you ring Lisa at Field Initiatives on 0181-449 6404.

If you want to check our bona-fides, dial 100 and ask for Freefone Market
Research. This will get you through to the Market Research Society, who
will then be able to verify that we are a genuine research company
operating under their codes of conduct.

I'm using my home mailbox to send this, as that's the one people in here
will recognise, but I'll attach my work sig also.

Apologies if I've offended anyone by imposing on your good nature in this
way. If I have, please tell me - if even a single person feels it an
inappropriate use of the newsgroup, I won't do so again. Conversely, if you
would like to be alerted to future focus groups on IT/Telecoms products,
just drop me an email to let me know.
