NOW CLOSED Fancy talking about your online habits to a marketing agency? You could win £50 in John Lewis or Space NK vouchers

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. A marketing agency has asked us if any Mumsnetters would be available to take part in a small research project - and, as it involves nice treats, we've said we'll pass their request on!

The agency are looking for five mums with children between the ages of 5 and 16. You must be an active member of Mumsnet and, preferably, also a user of Twitter and Facebook.

You'd need to be available to take part in a 15-20 min phone conversation this Thursday afternoon (Aug 12) or this Friday morning (Aug 13). You'll be asked about what drives you online, why you use Mumsnet and sites like it, and what sort of content you are looking for online.

All those who are chosen to take part will receive £50 worth of vouchers from
either Space NK or John Lewis (you get to choose).

If you'd be up for this, you'll need to post on this thread by Wednesday (August 11) at 3pm when we'll be closing the thread. We'll pick five names out of hat once the thread is closed.

Thanks - and good luck!

Eek - in before the wire!
I can do Fri morning!

OK, folks, this thread is now officially closed for people wanting to put their names forward.

We'll be posting the winners' names shortly.

OK, and the five peeps selected to be interviewed - and get the vouchers - are:

grumpypants
teameric
chaostrulyreigns
Saltire
RicePuddingwithJam

All five of you should now have mail!

Please get back to us ASAP or - because the interviews are tomorrow - we may have to pass your place and vouchers on to a reserve...

Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm. Sorry we couldn't pick you all.

I woud be free too - count me in and please choose me - never win or get picked for anything.

So I shouldn't shred my John Lewis shopping list just yet then?

I will not be sending that booze or chocolates now

Mumsnet yes
Facebook yes
Twitter yes
Mum yes
Children between 5 and 16.... um rising 5 yes, starts school September...

Me, I use MN, FB, Twitter and am a mum to three children, two of which are between 5 and 16 (other one is a little younger).

Thank you ! Have emailed back - cringemakingly grateful!

gah ! I was mentally buying fancy stuff in Waitrose ! am happy to be a stand by !!

So is RicePuddingwithJam a name changer, then?

Only 58 posts? An Active member?

Jealous? Moi?

Like I said, I'm just

No hard feelings. Honestly. I don't care. At all!

oooh ! I was the reserve and got called this afternoon !! I fear i was very waffly but hope I was helpful !

Well done! I'm still waiting - what sort of thing did they ask?m(So i can sound clever)

thanks - they asked about mumsnet and social networking and did i know of any other parenting sites (I mentioned netmums disparagingly) and i wittered on about my excesssive facebooking,blog and whatnot - don't worry,it's all very straightforward - just tell them what things appeal to you/what you are interested and what sites you might follow.

That's ok then rice - thought maybe I'd been substituted by mas ! Thanks for top tip mas

Just finished mine - quite interesting actually.

which vouchers did you pick ? I went for JL after much deliberation

JL - we are soooo skint (see numerous threads) that I am going to let dh share them as he has been v good at resisting temptation for the sake of the bills
