Due to the strong economy of Saudi Arabia and
high level prosperity of life, consumers would
not be interested to participate in the study
unless attractive incentive is in place.
By the law of the country, consumers have to
be segregated/separated by gender (males &
females) during the session. That requires more
sessions, more preparation and special
constructions at the lab.
All the above impact the cost of the service in
case it is provided in a professional scientific
way.
