Info Survey: the art of communication

The most effective marketing is a targeted and tailored message meant to start a productive conversation. This conversation will be most effective if we understand how the target audience likes to communicate. So we’re asking people how they use the internet --- what they use it for, how much they use it, and how they feel about it. Specifically, we’re asking business folks in our local business network.

It's a phone conversation that lasts about 15 minutes. And the more people we talk to, the more powerful the results will be for each of them. You can help us help you with your marketing.
