Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

I am doing a project and I need all types of musicians to fill out this survey. I am designing something that will benefit musicians, so your opinion is valuable.

The survey should only take 5 minutes. If you want more details, you can enter your email in the survey and you can be notified about when the project is finished or to be part of the beta testing.

More information:

Who am I? My name is Matt, and I'm a graduate student. I live in California.

Why am I doing this? I am a user experience researcher. So to design a valuable product, I need to understand the user. This project will benefit musicians everywhere and hopefully allow me to pay my mortgage.

When will it be finished? I'm not sure. Hopefully sometime during 2014.

Is this spam? No. Qualtrics is a survey company just like Survey Monkey. Completely trustworthy.

Thanks for your time.[url][/url]

Everyone uses survey monkey!

I took your survey, you should let people know it's principle focus is on online collaboration (at least that's what I got out of it) - anyone who doesn't/hasn't done this is most likely not going to help your results, and some of the answer choices were limiting. I'm not sure how many people will give you 4-5 sentences on how they do collaborations, either (I didn't)

Not everyone , I've never even heard of it.

Even my company uses it (14000 employees, no shortage of abilities and capabilities)

I must just be backwoods ignorant.
I see no purpose in surveys, other than to shift profits to yet another middle man.

Survey Monkey is often used corporately to track customer response to service and products. When I do project management I sometimes use the tool to query stakeholders about their satisfaction or lack of same.

I took such a survey before being fired from my last job (too old - might have gotten a pension!).

The division head was really pissed because not one employee said they'd recommend a friend to work there. He demanded someone explain and no one would - hence me. I told him ''..why recommend someone for a job were people are getting dinged constantly?" He thanked me for my honesty. He was fired two months after me...

Surveys and focus groups are pretty the main ways to find out how potential customers might think of your product/service.

Waste of money and energy I say.

Corporate America is damn good at it.

If your products are selling people either like or need them.

If not . . . well . . . LOL

sanshouheil really?

Some people think it is a good idea to test the waters and see if their idea is wanted or could be improved on before they dump all their money and time just to find out that it wasn't all that great of an idea. It takes a lot less money and energy to do a little research.

For sure! I take online surveys (used to get paid by check, usually added up to about $150 a year) for a couple of marketing research places, occasionally get free samples to evaluate, now I get credits, which build up to get stuff for free from a catalog.

Yes really . . . you can do . . . or you can talk about it.
