?Focus group cost typically varies from a low of $1,500 per group to
over $7,000. Focus groups that are comprised of small market segments
(truck drivers who like baroque music) have higher prices. Enrolling a
rare type of consumer group takes time. Participants are paid for
their attendance ($40?$50 each for consumers, and up to $150 or more
for professionals), which raises the price.?

?Costs are based on a combination of recruitment costs, participant
expenses, and consulting-related fees that may be charged by the
company running the focus group. Typical focus groups cost between
$3,000 - $8,000 per group, which includes a fee of typically $50 to
$100 per participant.?
