We are an exclusive team of creative customer consultants, who enjoy expressing our opinions, and making a difference to the way businesses and public bodies think and act. We participate solely in nqual co-creation projects, and have assisted major blue chips and organisations including Microsoft, O2, RBS, Unilever, Cisco, Google, Skype, Unilever, The NHS, Nokia, Sony, UKTV, Skype, HSBC, Citibank, and Nintendo.

Not just anyone can join the netfluentials! You can only become a member by participating in an nqual research project, by special invitation, or through being nominated for membership by a netfluential who has been active on two or more projects.

THIS IS NOT AN ONLINE SURVEY PANEL! Before registering it is very important that you read the info on this page so you fully understand why we’re different, Please also look over our membership terms and conditions as you will be required to digitally sign-up to these during registration: -

We act as online customer consultants for brands and public bodies, on a one-to-one basis (via an online diary) and in group conversations (via online focus groups, forums, or communities). All projects can be attended entirely from home, laptop, or internet café anywhere in the world, providing you have a computer and an internet connection.

Projects range from 2 hrs for a single online focus group, through to an average of 30-60mins per week for an online diary, forum, or community project. Although online focus groups have a fixed date and time, for other type of projects you can log-in and contribute at times to suit you.Wherever possible, nqual will work around your requirements.

Yes, and substantially more than you would receive for an online survey, Cash rewards vary depending on time demands and difficulty of subject matter but as a benchmark, for a 1.5hr online focus group that you might typically receive £20-25, and for an average online forum, somewhere between £20-£100. As a rule nqual issues rewards by Paypal within 30 days of project completion, so if you have a Paypal account, please use the relevant email address during registration.

To establish your eligibility for a particular project, nqual will send you a short (unpaid), screener survey. Each project nqual facilitates requires a specific profile of person, so taking a screener never guarantees a place on a project, but please try to be patient and persevering we’ll find something that’s right for you before long Remember - if you don’t take the screeners you cannot be selected , and failure to respond to to invitations for over period of 3 months will result in your removal from the netfluentials.

nqual will contact you by email and / or telephone with an overview of the project and what is required from you. From time-to-time may post project-related materials to you for consideration. For this reason it is critically important you give a valid address, and email and contact phone numbers when registering. If you fail to do so, you will be removed immediately from the netfluentials and any time you’ve spent registering will be wasted.

Any ideas netfluentials bring to a project become the intellectual property of either nqual or the project sponsor. Although you retain rights to, and take responsibility for, any IP covering other images, video, or other media contribute, you specifically give nqual and the sponsor permission to use it for market research and reporting related to the particular project (they must request your explicit permission if they wish to use it for anything else).

Businesses and public bodies put netfluentials in a position of trust and over the course of a project often share new concepts, and commercially sensitive material with us. . For this reason you must digitally sign a CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT during registration which covers all netfluential projects you’ll participate in. nqual takes this agreement very seriously and will not hesitate to take legal action if you are found to be in breach. Please take the time to read it carefully, so you fully understand the requirements (a copy can be viewed and downloaded at www.agreement.com).

During a project, your contributions will be visible to researchers , ( other participants, and sometimes, client observers). In accordance with the UK Data Protection Act, no personal information by which you can be identified will be shared with client observers or participants in any project, or passed onto third parties, without your prior consent. All of nqual’s projects adhere to the Market Research Society (MRS) codes of conduct and guidelines (copies of which can be viewed and downloaded at www.mrs.org.uk/standards/guidelines.htm) .
