Reasons for low survey response rates

Care to....flesh that out a little bit?


You know, a little more of the "who, what, where, when, why, and how" stuff...?

Who: the surveyors (Arbitron)
What: the questions they ask
Where: In their cute little cubicles
When: at the time they make the call
Why: because that's what their computers tell them to do, in between talking about whose butt their girlfriend/boyfriend looked at that day
How: by opening their mouths and making air rush past their larnyx
 
> Who: the surveyors (Arbitron)
OK. What gives? Basically every research company in the US reaches out to people (at least initially) by telephone. Arbitron is no different then Nielson or Media Audit or Scarborough research.


> What: the questions they ask

OK genious. What questions DO they ask?

> Where: In their cute little cubicles

You must be kidding me.

> When: at the time they make the call

Yeah?

You seem to have a little butt fetish or something here. They use compueters to tell them what to do like most jocks use liner cards (or computers) to tell them what to do. Are they supposed to memorize a 35 page script? Is a talk show host supposed to memorize a :60 second live spot?

People like you give the image that radio is filled with the most ignorant people. If you have a legitimate beef give it and back it up. If not please go far away and stick your head in the dirt.
