Hi everyone,

If you have already completed the CMG Online survey and signed up to be part of the volunteer panel, we’d like to thank you for your time. If not, then here’s a last pitch ...

WHY THE SURVEY?

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. Basically this pool would be a group of people from which we could draw members who satisfy a demographic that so-and-so company wants to reach.

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.

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. If you complete this online survey, you will be entered for a random draw for a chance to win one of five $100 cash prizes*! 

At the end of the CMG Readers' Survey you will be asked if you want to join this volunteer pool. 

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.
