100% increase in number of responses to annual survey
I’ll be closing down the annual survey of trade union use of the net in another 5 days and sent a reminder to our list yesterday about it. For some reason, this has become the biggest survey we’ve ever done. Last year’s got what we thought was a good number of responses – the best we’d ever done, really. We had 1,336 people fill in the forms. This year, it’s already up to 2,668 – and still going. Thanks to Derek for reminding me to do this, and to Andy for taking the initiative to do a French version. More details soon.

Bizarrely, amongst many of the people hear I talk to, the survey is one of the more popular things we do. At least amongst union web-based communicators. I think they use the results in their work.
It’s not that odd. I use the statistics myself with my own ‘clients’ in the trade union movement, and also as a good to what we need to do with LabourStart (e.g., launching our own app for smartphones and tablets ASAP).
Sorry, yes, not odd in that sense. Just that in comparison with the news service or campaigns or conferences it shouldn’t be at the top of the list when people think about the things we do.
Perhaps I’m just spending too much time with the nerd crowd. 🙂
In terms of numbers, it isn’t. We’re still getting twice these numbers, or more, for our campaigns. And it’s only a small fraction – less than 5% – of our mailing list. Still, it’s good to know that we have other ways of being useful, and of reaching our base and expanding it.
