NFT: Please take my Survey for a Grad Project

BigBlueDownTheShore : 3/22/2019 10:17 am
I'm doing a grad school project on Trader Joe's. If you have ever shopped there, please take a minute to answer these questions!

Thank You!

Trader Joe's Survey - ( New Window )
question regarding source of news  
John in Loudoun : 3/22/2019 10:31 am : link
was a bit strange in that the 3 options you presented were facebook, Instagram and youtube. Did I misread that question? How about newspapers and news programs?

Good luck on your project.
I took the survey

Trader Joe's has 'some' great stuff, like the California style dried apricots I like.

Also, their house brand wine is like $3/bottle.
I wonder if you'll get any flak  
ATL_Giants : 3/22/2019 10:33 am : link
for giving just two options for a gender response at the end?
I bet people..

..who jam up the parking lot waiting to take a spot 10ft from the front door, bitch about crowded stores and long checkout lines, and harass the customer service desk about their discontinued product also hate the fact that Eli and DG are part of the NYG organization.

I bet they don't bag their own groceries, either.
Done and done

The thought behind that question is that many people get their news from social media. Not necessarily all of it.

Trader Joe's generates customers through word of mouth.

Most people get news from those social media channels at times.

It will help me determine which one they should use to send out messages to their customers.

I just tweaked the question a bit as well.

Maybe that's what the survey is really about.
I did the survey  
Bill in UT : 3/22/2019 10:58 am : link
But I don't have a smart phone and if I did I wouldn't use social media or spend at least an hour a day on it. Your survey would be more accurate if you had "not applicable" as an option, rather than having to answer no or skip questions

Grad project? Or they're paying you...?

Maybe they're considering some sort of promo tie-in with the Giants this fall, and wondering if any of us actually shop there...

I don't work there. I snagged their logo from the internet, and plopped it at the top :)

I would love to know if you have ever seen any marketing material for Trader Joe's because what you are describing goes against the very core of their business. They rely heavily on Word of Mouth.

I love certain Trader Joe’s goods, but they discontinue stuff that seems to be what I like most.

So what - you're sayin' they don't like the Giants? They don't like football??
What are they, un-american, or somethin'? What are they, Germans?

A pox on them!

Speaking of which my results are very skewed towards men. Can anyone give any suggestions on where I should share this to get some more gender diversity?

Did the survey  
jcn56 : 3/22/2019 12:15 pm : link
think it might be skewed a bit based on location. Here in NYC, the primary reason I don't go to TJ's more often is parking and congestion. When I do find parking near our local store, it's a bitch to get in and out of there in a reasonable amount of time.

The other network I shared it with is Virginia based, and some of those people live in the sticks.

I can't go back now, but I should have put a zip code in there.
I figured as much  
jcn56 : 3/22/2019 12:22 pm : link
that's part of living in NYC when you shop elsewhere too, you realize the stark differences between chain stores in less populated areas versus NYC. I love Costco, and shopping in the stores outside of the 5 boroughs is a pleasure, but the Brooklyn Costco is basically a form of urban combat.

If they're available to you, you might consider using IP addresses as a low reliability indicator of region/area.
I've been to 5 or 6 of their stores  
aquidneck : 3/22/2019 1:56 pm : link
Used to have two within easy driving distance when I lived in CA.

They got one here in Warwick, RI where they're not allowed to sell alcohol.

Believe it or not. Trader Joe's without alcohol.

Anyway, survey complete!

Good for some stuff

They compete with Sprouts Markets by me in San Jose.

That's OK. There's a question about that, too. lol
Done.  
Giantgator : 3/22/2019 3:40 pm : link
It's an extremely different experience shopping at TJ in the city vs. suburbs.
