Teens make up an important part of the marketplace, and we should think so since the last US Census in 200 reports that there are anywhere from 25 and 28 million people in America aged 13 – 19 years of age. Power in numbers, this is why leading companies around the country want to hear what young adults have to say about many topics. From entertainment like music and movies to heavier topics like education and relationships, teenagers have plenty of opportunities to speak out and be heard.
A good number of survey sites online only offer paid surveys for adults aged 18 or older. But, if you dig deeper and search through a free database like Survey Adventure, you’ll find great surveys meant just for teens. Some good survey sites to start with are SurveyHead, Mindfield Online, MySurvey, GlobalTestMaret, and SurveySavvy. Typically open to young adults aged 13 years and up, these survey sites are eager to hear your feedback about their products and services. By law, children need to be 13 years or older for companies to collect any personally identifiable information directly from them. If you are a parent and have any concerns, please click the privacy policy of the survey site that your teen is considering for membership.
In addition to free surveys, you may even get the chance to test out new products for free that are of interest to teens. Companies realize that they can get really valuable information by sending free samples and then following up with an online survey requesting information about the user’s experiences. Everyone wins, the teen participants get to try cool new products before they are offered to the general population and companies get feedback about how to make any needed improvements. We’ve seen all sorts of great product sampling for teens in the past including makeup and hair products, clothing and athletic shoes, music and magazines and more!
