Problem:
Often people refuse to participate in surveys. I'm sure you have been at the mall and tried to avoid the girl with the clipboard. Maybe you hung up on the guy who called and asked for a few moments of your time. You may even throw away surveys when you get them in the mail. This is an inconvenience. Companies know it as an inconvenience, but they need valuable information. Sometimes companies will offer incentives (money, food, coupons, etc.) for participating in their surveys. Incentives may work for some people and not for others. The trick is to offer an incentive that will get the right type of participant to respond (and only that type of participant). For example, the makers of Organic Foods, Inc., may want to get some feedback on a new organic product. The researchers may not want to offer a free pack of "chemical candy" as an incentive. People who eat candy with dyes and chemicals aren't organic consumers. Also the researcher must pick a survey method (live interviews, telephone, mail, internet) that will drive the desired person to participate.
Here's the situation. Chrysler wants some information about what features people want added in the next version of its mini van. Pick the proper incentive and survey method (in-person, mail, phone, Internet, etc.) that will get mini van drivers and only mini van drivers to respond.
