A free iPad is now assessable online through special promotions conducted by market research companies. When people first hear this they automatically assume that this is some sort of fraud or scam. In order for me to find out i had to actually participate and see the results myself to know that is true.
The idea of having a user to test and keep a product for free is a new promotion tool used by market research companies to gain a better customer base. Think about it, if a person gets a freebie most likely they would refer it to a friend or family member. This creates some sort of word-of-mouth advertising. Also if the tester likes the product they would more than likely purchase from these companies again.
These promotion are usually launched when the product just came out. We all know that $500 dollars is actually expensive especially for a tablet that we never used before. The testing idea is to get as many people to test and enjoy the experience of using a iPad.
When i first heard of this opportunity i jumped into it quickly. Like many other people i was a bit curious and couldn't believe the fact that Apple was going to give me a free iPad for testing it and letting others now about my experience. Within 2 weeks after filling out a survey i had a delivery which contain my free apple iPad. I could not believe how easy and simple this process was.
