Open to ideas

[Toymanator]

My business partner and I have created a business plan and are doing some market research on our business idea. We have created a short 10 question survey and are looking to get the opinions of the market. Our business would deal only with women between the ages of 18 and 45. What I am wondering and am hoping their are some good ideas out there of ways that we can get this survey out to people. Does anyone have any ideas of where we could post this survey? Or a good place to get a mass email list for our target market? Or other ideas that we could send this electronic survey out to get a better idea of our market before we move forward with this business.

I am more looking for a way to email the survey. How do I get more people to know about the survey? I have already emailed it to 5,000 women and recieved 48 responses. I am looking for about 10 times that many responses but I have run out of email address to use. What are some other thoughts and ideas of how I could get this survey out?

Another idea that comes to mind is this: Are you giving them an incentive to fill out your survey? Like, offering a free report of some type. If you do this, your percentage of women that fill out the survey, may go up.

As for where to find more emails... You could approach somebody who has a big list like this, and ask them if they'd send an email out to their list promoting your survey. Granted, you'd have to offer them some kind of reward for the deal, but, I'm sure you could work something out.

The best of luck.

Incentive is a great idea. People tend to respond more when they know they're getting something in return.

Also, did you try to join the online forums where most of these women hang-out? Women like to help each other, so if you post your message with honesty, that you're doing a research if this business idea of yours is viable or not, you should get a decent number of responds.

Do you have a budget for mailing list? It's legal and not only you get their e-mail adds, you also get their contact info once you decide to go forward with this idea.
