About 4700 of you have received a survey link yesterday. I sent that to the people who visit Geekzone the most. We had about 9% response rate overnight, which I think is impressive, thank you.


The survey closes by the end of next week, so I will post in this thread results and comments on some of the questions raised.


As mentioned in the email, we have no way to link the responses to individual accounts, so thanks for your honest comments.

Thanks to all of you who answered the call and filled out the survey. I see some exciting trends there and good comments too.

 

Out of 4,690 invites sent out, we had 546 responses (about 11.5 %). We sent the invite to users in New Zealand (according to “Country” in your profile) who have accessed Geekzone more than 50 times recently.

 

Most visit Geekzone a few times a month (36%), but a good number visit Geekzone multiple times a day – some do it every day (24%), and others do it a few times a week. A smaller group visit Geekzone once a day, every day (8%), or once a day a few days a week (17%).

 

This group is a good profile because we have people with lots of experience around the site giving this feedback.

 

A massive 91% of you say you have solved a problem with the help of other Geekzoners, while 33% say they have used the Offers/Wanted sub-forum to trade/buy/sell something.

 

About 1/3 of the respondents are subscribers, with 11% saying they didn’t know a subscription option was available.

 

Of those who know about the subscription but aren’t subscribers, 10% say they don’t like paying for a subscription online. A big chunk (63%) say they are happy with ads, so they don’t feel the need to subscribe, with another 18% of people saying they don’t subscribe and block ads anyway.

 

Overall, we had a 4.38 stars rating, which is immensely satisfying.

 

 

 

There were some recurring themes in the comments. I am thinking of running an Ask me Any Question (AMA) session on our Slack channel at some point.
