Market research surveys - how to to get participants?

[DraftPick]

Hi all,

As a new startup and newcomer to the forum I know it's still early days, however, I was wondering whether other fellow small business owners have advice on how to get participants for market research surveys?

Our survey (participants will be responding anonymously) aims to help us to refine and improve our service offering and make sure we are relevant for businesses and not waste anyone's time, which is invaluable.

So far participants have been hard to come by, however we are still very convinced we have a strong business model and service offering which will genuinely challenge the traditional (and costly) recruitment models.

Cheers.
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Pretty common issue faced with surveys! I've put a call out on our Twitter and Facebook for you - hopefully that will garner up a bit of support.

I am also about to fill out the survey and I'm sure a few others reading this will do too =)

Apart from that, try emailing people individually - Social Media might be a great way to go, LinkedIn would work like a charm if you are on it!
