E-Mail Survey

Dear Fellow Republican:

For the past four years the Michigan Republican Party has been sending out daily E-mail messages complete with recent news articles in an effort to keep our grassroots activists involved with recent events at the party. As we are looking for ways to continue keeping you involved, we were hoping you would be able to give us a few moments of your time to complete this survey so that we can do this in the best way possible.

1.) How useful have you found the daily commentary and articles to be?

Very useful
Somewhat useful
Not that useful
They go straight to my Junk Mail folder

2.) How often do you read these E-mails?

Everyday
Frequently, but not every day
Rarely
Never

3.) How often would you prefer to receive these types of E-mails?

Everyday
Every week
Every month
Never

4.) Presently the daily commentary includes interesting news articles on a state and national level. How often do you read these articles?

All the time
Sometimes
Rarely
Never

5.) The Michigan Republican Party has a separate website, aoi.migop.org, where many newspaper articles are compiled and updated regularly. How often have you visited this site?

Everyday
Frequently, but not everyday
Rarely
Such a site exists?

6.) Traditionally the daily commentaries have been written directly and exclusively by the Michigan Republican Party Chairman. How open would you be to receiving these commentaries from local party surrogates, candidates, and elected officials instead?

Very open, I think that is a great idea
Somewhat open, I still want to hear directly from the chairman on a regular basis
Not open at all, I’d like to continue just hearing from the chairman

7.) Would you be open to a format in which the daily commentary is posted on the party’s website and not E-mailed to you directly?

Yes, that would be fine with me
No, I enjoy receiving this information via E-mail

8.) How much information do you believe the daily commentaries should include?

As much as possible, I want to know everything I can
Just a commentary is fine, I never read the articles
Just articles are fine, I never read the commentary
These E-mails are glorified SPAM, I wouldn’t miss them at all

9.) How open would you be to including more interactive content to the mailings such as more frequent links to radio and TV interviews of party members, elected officials, and candidates?

I think that would be a great idea
I would prefer if things were kept the way they are

10.) Do you have any other comments regarding the daily commentaries that were not addressed in this survey?
