Incentivise your research participants

Offering incentives to research participants is a great way to ensure the participants you recruit are motivated to participate in your research and feel fairly compensated for their time.

But managing incentive payments can quickly become a chore as your research practice grows. At worst, keeping track of incentive payments can take valuable hours out of your already jam-packed week.

Automated participant incentives

Managing incentive payments isn't the most exciting part of the research journey. Nonetheless, it's often an important tool for keeping your participants motivated to participate in your research.

You can now pay out incentives such as gift cards, charity donations and money to your research participants directly through Ribbon. When setting up a moderated research session, you can choose how much you want to reward each participant:

If you add an incentive, it will automatically be communicated to your participants through the widget:

After your session has concluded, you can then easily issue the incentive to your participant by clicking "Send incentive" directly from the Sessions page:

It's that easy. When you send an incentive, an email containing the incentive is automatically sent to your participant through our incentives distributor, Tremendous.

For now, sending incentives is a feature limited to customers on our Enterprise plan. To get set up with incentives, contact our support team directly at [email protected]

Happy researching,

The Ribbon team
