ETSY
Hey All,
I am doing a research project related to creative entrepreneurship using Etsy. If you or anyone you know uses Etsy, could you please fill out this survey and pass it along to anyone else who uses etsy to sell their products? I would really appreciate it! Thank you!!!
You are invited to participate in a survey examining home-based entrepreneurs who produce and sell original crafts and artwork. The study is being conducted by Kristine Kuhn, Associate Professor, and Tera Galloway, Ph.D. student, in the College of Business at Washington State University.
Your participation in the study will contribute to a better understanding of the role of information sharing among creative entrepreneurs. We estimate that it will take about 20 to 30 minutes of your time. You are free to contact the researchers (at the address below) if you have any questions.
Your answers will be kept confidential, and neither your name nor any personally identifying information will ever be published or released in association with your responses.
Although we do not have the budget to compensate all respondents for their time, we will select 10 people at random from all those who respond to this request by October 15th, and send them $20 Amazon gift cards to the email address used in their response.
If you wish to participate, simply send your answers to the following five questions to kmkuhn@wsu.edu:
1. How long have you been selling your handiwork on Etsy? What were your primary motivations in deciding to start this business? To what extent have your goals (financial, creative, etc.) been fulfilled?
2. Do you receive support, ideas, or help from other Etsy members? Please describe in terms of whether this information has affected the type of products you sell (designs, styles, etc.) and/or how you run your business (marketing, technical support, etc.)
3. Do you provide support, ideas, or help to other Etsy members? Please describe.
4. Why did you join an Etsy team/s? Please describe any advantages and/or disadvantages of team membership.
5. Approximately what percentage of your income comes from selling your handiwork? Is this substantially more than, less than, or about what you expected when you first started this business? Do you expect your revenues to change significantly over the next two years?
Thank you,
