Questions 163-166 refer to the following memo
Attn: Research staff
As part of our initiative to engage more vigorously with our consumers, we have decided to conduct a number of focus groups over the next couple of weeks Participants in the focus groups will provide feedback on issues such as our branding, our new range of products and our prices We hope this research work will generate a lot of ideas that we can then use to improve our products and boost sales However, in order to run the events smoothly, we need some of you to volunteer your services
The focus groups will run in the evenings, from 7 pm to 9 pm Given time constraints, we hope to run five tables concurrently each evening We will need a facilitator and a transcriber at each table, which is where you come in We hope that you will make the most
of this interesting opportunity
The facilitator’s main tasks are to keep the conversation on track and make sure everyone in the group is contributing Accordingly, facilitators need to have excellent interpersonal skills Transcribers, on the other hand, will be responsible for recording the focus group participants' ideas and suggestions Therefore, transcribers require good listening skills and the ability to take lots of notes quickly If you feel you are suited to either of these roles, please email Jenny Richards at j.richards@aveno.com to let her know
