I developed lots of relationships with my customers and must say I had many fans but I never thought of building on that with online services. The online survey would have been a great thing for me to do after I sold a line and before I developed the next one. Although I received a lot of feedback directly from my customer I bet I would of received a lot more if I sent out a survey. Not only would it of proved fruitful for me but my customer would of felt included in the design process and it would of built even more loyalty then I already had. Thank you!

Timing and allowing organic feedback (via the open boxes) is such great advice. I agree with you on the corporate blah-veys where they are sent so the "higher ups" get their survey checked off their list, but there is no heart in the execution. Virtual hugs back at ya web sister!!! -Lorrie Misty,

II have to add that conducting the survey for My Inspiration Lounge in January was a great way to kick off 2010 and I felt like my community was very receptive to participating since they were in "reflection" mode themselves thinking about what they wanted to accomplish this year. The survey tied in well with the New Year theme...I also tried to ask questions with substance that would tell me what I really needed to know. I have seen too many corporate surveys where the results wouldn't add up to much since the questions were so general. I also left an open field for each question and received some really good responses! Hugs and thank you for keeping us inspired! Misty Thank you for sharing Lorrie!
