CREATE conducts survey

CREATE conducts survey to learn more about what their clients and trades are looking for. We strive to get better everyday through surveys just like these, we want all those that took the time to complete this survey. Here is the letter we have sent out below.

“We recently completed the survey done by CREATE. Since we have no way of knowing who actually responded, I am sending out this general communication to thank you if you did respond and if not, to invite you to respond to future surveys.  Your input is considered most valuable and highly appreciated.

I have included below a few general results of the survey.  You will see some of this information appearing in various media communications, are getting it first.

If you responded to the survey, I am sure you will find that many of the results make sense since they include your answers!

If you would be interested in obtaining information about our survey services, website lead generation services or marketing services in general, please feel free to contact me directly at smith880@aol.com or 408-499-1153. I am located in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley.

And please do continue to work with CREATE. They are indeed a professional team of good, friendly, responsive people, as we were told by the survey responses and which we also have experienced from working with them”.

Thanks again,
Mike Smith
Partner, Marketing Team Leader
