Engage Daily Update - 08 December

Survey

Paisley’s much-loved museum is being transformed. It will showcase Paisley’s world-changing stories to new audiences. And it will be at the heart of the community – a place for everyone to learn, discover, create and connect. This online survey is to ensure that the views of different people are considered when promoting the museum.

This research is being conducted for the museum by Scott Porter Research & Marketing Ltd, an independent market research agency. The survey is being completed on a strictly confidential and anonymous basis as set out by the Market Research Society Code of Conduct.  This means that the responses you give in the survey will be treated confidentially and no comments you make can or will be linked directly to you.  Once you have completed the survey and clicked submit the survey will be submitted to a secure server and only the market researchers allocated to this project will see the data in this form.

The survey should take no more than 8 minutes to complete.
