 You may have noticed the past few weeks that there is a delay from when you take a GlobalTestMarket survey to when your MarketPoints appear in your account. Don’t worry! We record all your survey activity and the MarketPoints you earn, and these points will be credited to your account. Our system is operating on a 4-7 day delay, so your MarketPoints are not appearing in your account right away.
We are in the process of upgrading our survey software engine. We currently send survey invites from two software platforms. Soon we will retire the older system for an improved version. This change is causing a communication delay between some of our databases.
We apologize for any inconvenience these technical difficulties are causing. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

C Silva,
Client demand drives the amount of surveys GlobalTestMarket can field to our membership. However, the new platform offers new features and advantages for our clients which should increase business. The new system also greatly improves our targeting ability, so there is a chance some members might see an increase.
We hope to reduce the amount of screen outs, but increase the amount of survey completes for our members. That should be the real benefit of the new system. Please be patient after it is released because all new platforms require some tweaking.

I THINK THIS IS GREAT! AT LEAST YOU ARE KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT IS COSTING MONEY AND WITH THE CONDITION ARE ECONOMY IS IN IT IS HARD TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SPEND MONEY. VERY FEW COMPANIES WANT TO SPEND BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC REASONS. I FEEL THIS IS THE TIME TO GET OUT THERE AND ADVERTISE BECAUSE IT WILL (HOPEFULLY) BRING IN NEW BUSINESS. NOT JUST FOR US, BUT THE COMPANIES (CLIENTS) THAT USE YOU TO TEST OUT CERTAIN THINGS IE WHICH AD ATTRACTS THE MOST MAIN STREET PEOPLE AND STAYS IN THEIR MIND. THAT IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT A CLIENT TOLD ME WHEN “BLACK FRIDAY” HAPPENED. I WAS A STOCKBROKER(FINANCIAL PLANNER AS THEY CALL IT NOW DAYS) HE OWNED A VERY SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE FIRM IN BOCA RATON, FL. WHEN BUSIBESS IS BAD THAT IS THE TIME YOU DO AS MUCH MARKETING AS YOU CAN. WHEN BUSINESS IS GOOD IT IS NOT NEEDED AS MUCH. WHEN “GLOBAL MARKETS INSITE” CLIENTS SEE YOU ARE SPENDING MONEY TO IMPROVE YOUR BUSINESS THEY WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED. I HOPE YOU ADVERTISE TO GET MORE BUSINESS WITH YOUR NEW AND IMPROVED SYSTEM. IF YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS THAT MEANS YOU DONT NEED US TO HELP YOU WITH SURVEYS! SO WHAT ARE A LITTLE SLOW TIMES ON THE COMPUTER WHEN IN THE END IT IS GOING TO HELP EVERYONE, I HOPE. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.

Hi Garth,
I just wanted to mention that I have used your site for about 3 years now and I enjoy receiving your payment cheques here in southern Australia. I receive many surveys and I really enjoy contributing. Thanks very much and I hope the new system gives me a few more surveys to work on.
