THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE DISCOUNTS
November 30th 2009 22:56
More and more these days, shoppers are handed or mailed a customer
survey to provide feedback to large and small business concerns about
their experiences during their last visit. In most cases, surveys can be
completed online, via toll-free number or by mail.
To entice shoppers to take the time to respond, many business
enterprises are offering a chance to win say a thousand dollar
shopping spree or other fairly decent prizes for completing the
various surveys.
We recommend that you participate in their surveys. It's free
and it's your chance to speak out.
And if you complain, don't be surprised if you receive a peace
pipe offering in the form of a dollars off coupon to smooth things
over.
One caveat though: be carefully not to provide these inquiring
corporate enterprises with more information then they need to know.
For instance, never give your date of birth, taxpayer ID numbers
(unless you won a substantial prize and are required to provide
one). Always best to use a post office box or mail drop as
your mailing address, others you'll be deluged with junk mail
at your home's mail box.
So give it try. Play the survey game and see what happens.
And don't be shy about complaining because the squeaky
wheel gets the discounts!
