CREATE conducts survey to learn more about what their clients and trades are looking for. We strive to get better everyday through surveys just like these, we want all those that took the time to complete this survey. Here is the letter we have sent out below.
“We recently completed the survey done by CREATE. Since we have no way of knowing who actually responded, I am sending out this general communication to thank you if you did respond and if not, to invite you to respond to future surveys. Your input is considered most valuable and highly appreciated.
I have included below a few general results of the survey. You will see some of this information appearing in various media communications, are getting it first.
If you responded to the survey, I am sure you will find that many of the results make sense since they include your answers!
