State of The Industry Survey
It is time to start collecting data for Q2 2009.
Your participation in the State of The Industry survey helps in three ways.
- You help by providing true wedding expenditure data to our industry
- You help by providing data that shows the overall health of our industry
- You help by providing trend data that helps predict the changes in our industry
All of these help you make better business decision.
Additionally, large amounts of the information provided on The Wedding Report are done at no cost. We do this because we want to give you information that no one else is providing to the wedding industry community. Information we believe helps you make better business decisions. However, there is cost involved in collecting and compiling all the data we provide.
If you have not already, you can give back by participating in the survey.
Click Here to Participate: http://vs.twrsurvey.com/
The final results of this survey will be made available in July 2009 at TheWeddingReport.com.
Information provided in this survey is for general informational purposes only.
