So, my company holds an internal, worldwide "competition" to look for new and innovative ideas to support and invest in (the company as a whole is in an enormous amount of markets). A buddy of mine is getting quite far into the competition with a new type of home farming. All this is to say that his team is looking for responses to a survey for their research and presentation purposes.
If you're bored, could you answer the below questions? Maybe it will start a fun conversation or two.
1. How many people in your home do you typically purchase groceries for?
2. How often do you buy fresh groceries?
3. Where do you currently purchase groceries for your household?
4. Why is that your chosen place to purchase groceries?
5. Are there any groceries/ingredients you find difficult to source?
6. Roughly, how much do you spend on fresh produce/groceries per month?
7. Do you purchase any organic ingredients? Why or why not?
