In fact, you have probably lived it. All you want to do is run a few focus groups in a couple of key cities across the country. You email your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/focus-group\/\"> focus group<\/a> facility contacts to see how much they would charge for everything from recruiting to facility rental. When you get the bids back from them, you mutter, no wait yell, \u201cYou want how much?!?!?\u201d You then proceed to tell them that you don\u2019t want to buy the building you just want to run a few groups\u2026 The facility tells you, sorry those are our costs, we simply don\u2019t have much wiggle room. You tell them fine, ok, let\u2019s get them booked, you don\u2019t have any other options\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Or do you?<\/p>\n<p>When faced with this dilemma, there is a better, more cost-effective, efficient solution.
