Rollerblading Surveys - Help to get a good indication of whats goin on.
Im helping spread the word about this - so should you.
Hello everyone,
Over the past months I have worked with a team of professors at Temple University of Philly designing a survey to explore the reality of our current market/community.
There are actually two links, because as the experts told me, kids have a short attention span, and long surveys often get closed or left unfinished; which means no information is gained. The goal is to gather as much information as possible about the habits, purchasing patterns and interests of skaters so that we can truly show the value of our market. The icing on the cake is that the people gathering, executing and crunching the data are all Professors of Market and Research, so the information will be top notch - and custom tailored to truly highlight the VALUE of the rollerblading community.
All info will be published in an upcoming Media Kit, available to inside and outside industry people equally; and the more articipants we get for the surveys, the better the information. Please find the time to add these links to your websites. There is no need to call it a DB survey.
This is for all of us.

I have some problems with this survey.
First of all, it was clearly made by a person from daily bread and therefor biased. Just read some of the questions, the majority was about dail bread.
Second, the disclaimer states that it was made with help form the temple university in Philly, yet it was not posted on the website of a university. As a student in research this sounds doubious to me.
Some items where cleary well thought of which shows knowledge of survey-techniques. But unless you register our ip-addresses their is no need to repeat the questions in the second survey because you wouldn’t be able to record consistency. Then I ask myself the question, why ask the questions again?
I would like to get some feedback on these questions if possible.

both surveys are the same ?
December 10th, 2005 at 9:30 pm
wether or not the surveys were DB biased, at least somebody cares what we think. And that person is trying to make rolling better.

if it can help ;)

i think that the repeat is for if you do one and not the other and those are there important questions i think it is to help there marketing it seems to mepretty much why we skate what we skate for brands and why we pick it and all that

They seem the same but they are not, the 2nd has different questions further down, please just do both, some questions are hard but please try.

Lauren, there’s only one block of questions about DB, since they are running this thing i’d say they have a right to gather information about their company.
at my univercity sometimes we use outside websites as well because we know that it works and it can be less drama. IT departments are not always that accessible.
there are two separate surveys cause apparently there were to many questions two be asked in one, but the most important questions had to be asked in both in case you only do 1.
why be so critical about everything just do the thing and hope it helps, takes less than 2 minutes.

^^exactly. Hey Koubis (or anyone else who knows), do you have any idea if the results will ever be publicly accessible? Cuz I for one would be really interested in some of the stats that come out of this thing…

Thanks to every blader who has taken the time to be apart of this survey. For all intents and purposes, this the first truly legit sampling of our community. Hopefully this will become a regular process. That said, this survey only exists because of the intiative of members of the staff at Temple University. The team over there is open and supportive of our community, and as this survey proves, obviously open to helping us help ourselves. We worked together on this for many months, and outside of inserting brand names and some simple wording issues, the questions and structure is entirely their doing. And why not? My expertise is rollerblading culture, theirs is crunching research numbers. Made sense to me. The bottom line is that information of this kind is a fundamental part of improving our status as a community.
Anyway, the results of this survey will be released publicly through a media kit we are preparing for 2006. And I’ll take this moment to encourage each of you to direct as many skaters as you can to the following links:

The more bladers that participate, the more accurate the information.
Thank you all for your time, and please email me with any questions.

The reason for being so critical on this is because when you have the stats, you want to use them. If those results would be peer-reviewed they will be put to a much harder test(data analyses). If you would then want to use them after they have been broken down they could be come useless.
Social scientist are the most critical of all I think, mainly because you already have a standard error of 5%.
