Added a set of questions that customers can answer after starting their Candy Japan subscription. Hopefully this will let me understand them better and help with setting the tone in the way I write, possibly influence product choices and help with marketing.

It's amazing what a nice bunch my customers are. Out of 500 subscribers already 70 have volunteered their time to answer the question set that I just sent out. For typical ecommerce emails, 14% might be the number of people who open an email, but here they not only opened, but clicked through some obscure link on the bottom and spent time answering a long questionnaire for me.

I haven't collected the answers yet, but here are the questions.

- Why they subscribed

- Who will eat the candies?

- Do they have kids?

- Are they into anime?

- Have they been to Japan?

- What are their hobbies?

Also included some that might help with online advertising:

- Age

- Gender

- Education level

- Married?

- Social networks they use

- Other websites they visit (5 people mentioned Hacker News)

I'm thinking of writing up a blog post describing what I learned, will post it later.



As soon as my economy clears up i gonna subscribe.
