Hi,

Apologies for spamming multiple forums but I could do with some help.

I'm looking at leaving the rat-race behind and trying to bring a range of products to the market. My first product, whilst not cycling specific has a heavy cycling bias as it is my main hobby and passion.

I would really appreciate you taking a few minutes of your time to fill out this simple survey.

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CQ87Y8G

Thanks,

Mr B

    Your first two questions are mandatory' i don't want to answer them so can't do your survey.

    It sure is. I write surveys as a living, studies show that mandatory demographics questions as the opening questions in surveys decrease response rate by 40%.
    Even if you keep them mandatory, if you move them to the end of your survey you'll increase your response rate.

    Thanks for the tips.

    And for everyone who made it past the mandatory questions, thanks for the great feedback.

    Is it OK that I habitually (and outlandishly) lie to market researchers?

    Ok... the survey is about

    How interested would you be in using something for carrying your phone and your valuables together in one handy wallet?

    ...that's the product.

    By the way, the survey isn't very good, you should put the first 2 questions at the end and the priorities list is too long for people to put any effort into, so sort that out and make it simpler. There is an art to creating a survey that will provide you the research you want, this survey is not going to find you much out, you won't be informing any decisions from it.

    By the way, there are plenty of products that do what you are suggesting, but you know that already I hope.

    Oh, sorry, I filled out any old answers just to see what the survey was about!

    Like my jersey pocket ? (some have zips)
    Or my saddle bag. Ive never had a need for anything else, carrying my phone in one pocket and keys / money in another pocket has never been a problem.

    Not at all.

    Phone in LH jersey pocket. In a ziplok bag if wet. Keys / cash / card in zipped jersey pocket on the other side (the new plastic fivers excel for this use!)

    Just buy some Look pedals. They more they squeak and creak the more power you're producing....

    Purse? too middle class - freezer bags OR the little plastic bags you get when you go through security at the airport, they're cheap enough :wink:

    I grab handfuls of the airport security plastic bags every time I pass through Heathrow.
    The ziploc seals really well on them.

    to get a useable heat from them, you would need to supply about 40w
