Help with research

Hi there,

I run an independent research company that is looking for Bikers to
answer a short questionnaire about them and their bikes. We will use
the information to help us understand the motorcycle market and drive
down the cost of insurance. We have been doing this successfully for
the last 2 years in the motor car market where we have watched prices
fall. But no one is keeping an eye on the motorcycle market.

Everyone that fills In the survey will be entered into a prize draw to
win £100 but, more significantly, will be sent our research on which
companies provide the cheapest bike insurance. We are not being paid
ourselves for this research, we are just trying to find out more in
order to help improve competition.

If you can spare 5 minutes of your time to fill in this questionnaire,
i would appreciate it.


Here's the link:

Question 1) Do you DRIVE a motorbike?

I think you need to do a bit more research into all of this riding
lark, luvvie.

 

Clearly, useless, and that's why we are doing the research, the
question has now been changed. Thanks for the input.

 

Opening line, first paragraph:
"Very little research is done into who drives motorbikes".

Needs work, I'm afraid - as does your posting style. Should you reply
again, it would be nice if you conformed to convention and placed your
reply beneath the text to which you are replying, having snipped any
irrelevant text and signatures.

I've snipped and moved your text above in accordance.

 

It would be less misleading if you made it clear in your posts that we
wouldn't actually be winning £100, but £100 of 'shopping' vouchers.

 

Apologies, clearly different conventions in different forums that I
use. However your comments are greatly appreciated.

To the comment about the £100, yes it is in shopping vouchers, because
that's the most easiest way to do it.

If anyone has anymore they are also welcome to chip in.

Cheers

Ian

I personally prefer not to have to enter contact info at all - it's
not possible to complete the quesitonnaire without doing so.

 

That's a good point, the main reason we would need the information
would be to send you the vouchers if you win. As a research company we
don't use that information for anything other than the purpose stated.

-----------------------
The Requested Survey ID could not be found.
There could be multiple reasons for not finding the survey :-

* The URL to the Survey is incorrect (The URL Should Contain the
Survey ID)
* The Owner of the Survey has deleted the survey off the system
* The Survey itself has been De-Activated
------------------------

That showed up at 37% completion.

Stuff it: if you're going to piss around, then forget it.
Get it right first time.

 

There are 3 insurance companies here that recently began to offer
motorcycle policies.

 

who out of curiosity?

 

Exactly.

 

It a guess, they'd be High St. vouchers which can be used in loads of
shops anyway. Not as good as cash, but not all that bad.

 

Obviously. I don't read everything on here.

 

And me, saved £100 on my Blackbird (£78 rather than £178 TPF&T with NU).

But you *are* expected to read everything on here otherwise you'll have Pip
and the other Pedants berating you for being a slacker!
After that you'll have the resident gay sector moaning you have missed their
latest sob story.
Then the spelling Nazis will get you.
and
if you survive all that TOG will give you a quote, (Useful in every case)
for your sig named bikes.

Oh *DO* keep up!!!

 

Quit moaning Robbo.

 

Yeah, but surely only a name and address are needed to post the
vouchers to, not name, address, telephone number, work telephone
number, evening telephone number, mobile phone number, email
address...

I don't see what you need the information for. Surely the insurance
companies already know all of the information you are asking of us
anyway.

Plus it appears that you've just taken a car questionaire and put
replaced "car" with "motorcycle" - for example "is yours a company
motorcycle?" doesn't normally apply to a bike as much as a car does.

 

Yeah, but surely only a name and address are needed to post the

Agreed, it's might be a little over the top, but the survey is used in
a variety of different ways.

The personal information we need to send you the vouchers. We also
need to be able to prove that the people who answered the survey are
real people, should we ever be challenged about our research. If we
had a load of random infomration in there we would drop those
responses.

Good point, we included the question for a really good reason, it's a
control for the previous two questions. Believe it or not 2 people
have answeeed yes to the question already. Believe me, it makes no
sense to me either.
