OK!
WHAT I'm trying to do:
I'm trying to get approved for a government funded program that will pay me $17,000.00 over a year to start my business in graphic/concept art and I don't have to pay back a penny!!!!
WHY I need your help:
In order for me to be approved I need to prove to them there is a want for my services. I NEED to collect marketing data in the form of a survey. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take this survey! I'm not asking anyone to be dishonest but I do realise this is an artist community and likely you're all too busy trying to sell your own stuff to ever really use my services, BUT PLEASE answer it with consideration I really need your help!
HOW you can take the survey:
It's only 11 questions long, and it COMES with a coupon for 15% off any merchandise or services once the online store opens. SO for me to be able to make sure no one steals your coupon(unless you don't care for the coupon in which feel free to copy and past the survey into your forum reply) I need you to email me your completed survey. I'll post the questions below so you get an idea what you're getting into, but all you need to do is tell me your email to send the survey to and I'll send it, then just email it back completed!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
to those who are going to actualy do this, you're helping make my dream become a reality. This is really important and REALLY appreciated!
