Research Collective, a usability testing lab in Tempe, Arizona facilitates research studies on an array of consumer goods, medical devices, instructions, package design and more. Usability testing helps companies gain insight about how to make their products intuitive, safe and efficient. This type of consumer-product interaction testing helps ensure a product’s usability and desirability and it can also help minimize risks.

Companies value input from their customers. When you share your opinions in our research studies, not only will you help to improve a product’s design, you will also earn money. Companies will compensate you for your time, with typical payments ranging from $75 to $200, depending on the study.
