In a few weeks time we will be running some remote usability tests with US, UK and Canadian customers. Participants will earn a generous Amazon voucher. We’re hoping to see how a prototype behaves in the real world. Do you want to help?

Interested? Just fill out the form at www.gettyimages.com/ux as accurately as possible.

What will happen? If you meet the profile we’re looking for, we’ll get in touch to schedule a session. We’ll call you at an agreed time, send you a screen-sharing link and then ask you to do some searching with the prototype and tell us what you think. No preparation required.

Afterwards, we’ll send you an Amazon voucher for $75, £60, C$90.  (If it doesn’t work out this time, we’ll keep your details on file for similar research in the future.)

We’re talking about customer research. We conduct all sorts: online surveys, usability studies at our offices and visits to your workplace. Nothing we do is too demanding on you and it leads directly to improvements that our customers (you) want.

What do I need to do? Sign up for our customer research panel. Tell us you’re interested by filling out this brief form as accurately as possible.

What will happen? In general, we run 1-2 usability studies a month and we’re always looking for participants. If we find a study that matches your profile, we will contact you.

What about the money? If you participate in a study, you can expect a generous gift certificate for your time.
