This week I commented on Vanessa’s blog. Her blog focuses on Public Relations in France. This week specifically the blog discussed a place in Paris where focus groups can be held. This blog was very interesting because like Vanessa, I did not know that there were buildings designated just for focus groups. I visited the website that discusses the facility and noticed that the building looked very nice and would be a wonderful place to conduct a focus group. Vanessa’s blog also got me wondering if there are focus group facilities in the United States.
I also chose to comment on Jame's blog. His blog this week focused on qualitative research. He summarized a focus group that he saw on YouTube about Nike shin guards for soccer players. When describing the focus group it seemed that the moderator followed many of the proper procedures. He tried to elicit discussion between the participants and also asked questions to get the people speaking. James did a good job of providing an example of a focus group. He also clearly explained how the focus group was conducted and what he believed the outcome was. Overall James blog helped me to gain a better understanding of what occurs during a focus group.
