Hi and thanks for your interest in our 2010 CMG
Online Readers’ Survey.
It should take you no longer than 10 minutes to
complete and your answers will help us to build an even better CMG (yes,
I know, how would that be possible?).
WHY AM I DOING THIS?
First
off, readers’ surveys give us vital information on what our readers
like and dislike about CMG. They also give us the demographic
information that we need to let advertisers know who they will be
reaching by taking an ad out on CMG (a vital component for a magazine
that doesn’t charge its readership).
We’re
also working on a new dimension – a volunteer pool that we can draw
from for a new industry focus group where you will be asked for your
opinion on various motorcycle-related issues. Obviously this is a
marketable asset for us, but it also gives you the opportunity to voice
your thoughts to various industry organizations and at no time will any
identifying information be passed on from CMG.
As
a member of this pool you may be selected to complete an online survey –
which would see you entered for a random draw for a chance to win one
of five $100 cash prizes*!
If
you do complete the readers’ survey, at the end of that you will be
asked if you want to join this volunteer pool.
EH? HOW DOES THAT WORK EXACTLY?
Okay, for
example, if Arai helmets wanted to ask a group of riders who were highly
educated and read CMG more than once a day (bad example, very small
group) what they thought of their new XYZ lid, then we would search
through the demographics of the volunteer pool for these requirements
and send them an email asking if they were interested in filling out a
survey for a helmet manufacturer.
Anyone
who completed said survey would then be entered for the draw (which we
do to keep personal info within the realms of CMG).
BUT
WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
Oh
yes, we’re also going to add a draw for some vintage style CMG t-shirts
for anyone who signs up (or has already signed up) for the volunteer
pool. Okay, they’re a little dusty, but the moths have thankfully left
them in (roughly) one piece.

And
to reiterate our privacy policy, as with anything CMG when it comes to
collecting personal information, at no time will any identifying
information (like your name, email or phone) go outside of CMG. We’re as
hateful of spam and other devious crap as you are (maybe even more so).
Thanks
in advance for your time – it’s much appreciated.

One cash prize of $100, and one t-shirt giveaway, will be drawn per 50
completed industry surveys, giving you a 1 in 50 chance of winning. Hey,
that’s better odds than having a heart attack, being crushed by an
elephant or being eaten by a mad cow
