Re: [IxDA Discuss] Research supplier near Palo Alto
Hey folks, Thanks for all who wrote with research supplier recommendations. I wanted to share all four for your future reference (see below). FWIW, Fleischman responded to me promptly with a bid, as did Fieldwork; Bay Area Research Group didn't get back to me as promised (and they have to coordinate with Nichols for facility space) and Nichols Research took a day to turn my call.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Research supplier near Palo Alto
Elizabeth, I've used Fieldwork for recruiting with some success. They have a facility in San Francisco, just up the road from Palo Alto. Their space is geared more toward focus groups, but I'm pretty sure you could use one of their smaller rooms for usability testing. http://www.fieldwork.com/ // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Research supplier near Palo Alto
I've said "no" and been proven wrong so many times (and right so many others others) that I'm hesitant to say. The best bet is to do some market research and determine the need. The market research can then feed into persona and scenario development. Google is also a good way to see if there are other competitors in the field... A quick search found this: http://www.weddingcardsonline.com/ There are probably others!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Research supplier near Palo Alto
Usable online service (or not)? A constituent has what he calls a killer idea. He wants to open an online store where people can order their wedding card or birth card online. Weddeingcards etc take a big place in our culture en we take great care en pride in selecting these cards. I don%u2019t think that such a concept will catch on? Am I wrong? Our would people really try to order their wedding card online? Would you? if you would think about it, witch kind of option would you think would be usable for users? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Research supplier near Palo Alto
Hi Liz, I recently had a great experience with Bay Area Research Group (http://bayarearesearchgroup.com). I only used them for recruiting and can not speak to their facilities. They did a great job on screening and recruiting our targeted groups. -Susan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Research supplier near Palo Alto
Hi folks! Could you all recommend some research suppliers in or around Palo Alto, California who'd be able to recruit participants for usability testing as well as provide space to conduct it (one-way mirror, not much else)? Your wisdom and recommendations greatly appreciated -- merci beaucoup!
