ForumsStarting a Business

Hi MetroGal -

Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, we are a team of students from the Yale School of Management. We are evaluating whether or not to launch a nonprofit social enterprise that connects businesses to the nonprofit sector in their community by offering a discount to nonprofit sector employees in exchange for marketing and increased community awareness of their social involvement. It is integral for us to see how businesses from a variety of geographies and categories view this concept and that is why we've launched this survey. Participation really only takes one minute and would be invaluable in our decision to launch this enterprise!

Please let me know if I can add any more information. Otherwise, thank you all so much for your participation!

I think the same would be true for manufacturers and wholesalers, as well -- really the survey seems most appropriate for owners of small retail businesses that sell products or services to individual customers, but not to small business owners in general. Good luck with your project.

I was able to access the survey and submitted my responses. One quick unsolicited suggestion: it wasn't so intuitive for me when I had to move that metered rating scale from 0 - 10. Also, there's an arrow looking button on the end vs. a submit button. It might be more intuitive if it read submit. Anyway...the last thing you want is a critique on my experience.

Good luck with your findings and study hard.

All,

I appreciate your help and support thus far. The answers everyone has given have been very helpful! Please take one minute to take the survey if you haven't had the opportunity to already. Again, your help will be invaluable in our decision of whether or not to launch this nonprofit social enterprise - and it only takes you one minute!

Best regards,

Matt
