Which? Dynamic Pricing - Consent Form


What is this project about?

Thank you for agreeing to take part in this research project

Which? is excited to conduct this research project, involving online focus groups to understand more about attitudes towards the use of pricing which changes based on time, day and demand, also known as dynamic pricing. 

Who are Which?

Which? is the UK’s consumer champion, here to make life simpler, fairer and safer for everyone. Our research gets to the heart of consumer issues, our advice is impartial, and our rigorous product tests lead to expert recommendations. We’re the independent consumer voice that influences politicians and lawmakers, investigates, holds businesses to account and makes change happen. As an organisation, we’re not for profit and all for making consumers more powerful.

For this project Which? are working with Roots Research and their sister company, Take Part in Research, to complete the recruitment and administer the thank you payments on behalf of Which?.

What happens if I decide to take part?

A Which? researcher will send you a calendar invitation for the focus group at the scheduled time. The invitation will include instructions on how to join the online focus group. You do not need to prepare anything before the focus group.

Offering thanks for your time

If you choose to take part, we offer a £50  thank you gift for your time and energy.

Once you have read and signed the consent form the recruiter (Roots) will ask you to provide your bank details so they are able to pay you for your participation. Your details will be kept safely and securely by Roots and will not be shared with Which?. Please note that while we endeavour to process all incentive payments as quickly as possible, in some cases it can take up to 30 days for payments to be received.
