Happy New Year, everyone! Congratulations on making it back to work: last week's blog post saw an all-time record for "out of office" replies, with over 15% of our email subscribers bothering to turn that feature on. We're quickly coming up on five years of the WireSpring Blog, and while many others have started digital signage and kiosk blogs in that time period, I like to think we're still one of the best out there. OK, I like to think we're the best blog in the business, but even in my terribly egotistical mind I realize that there's still plenty of room for improvement. That's why I want to kick this year off by asking you how we can make this blog better.

If you would be so kind...

Below you will see a very brief 10-question survey. I know everybody has a lot on their plates right now, having just returned to work after some hopefully pleasant end-of-year distractions. But if you can take one to two minutes to fill this thing out, I promise to spend the rest of the year putting your suggestions into place.

What's in it for you?

Well, if you value the research, insights, commentary and ramblings we've been publishing, this is your chance to potentially get it more closely tailored to your needs. We spend a LOT of time and money on research every year, so now you have the opportunity to tell us how you'd like to see those resources allocated. The survey is totally anonymous and will literally take you less than two minutes to complete. So what do you have to lose? Go ahead, start answering those questions!

I'll let this survey run through the end of January and then put up another post explaining the results and what we intend to do with them. Thanks for your participation, and here's to a happy and prosperous 2009!

Does anybody ever read these call-to-action statements? Leave a comment and let me know!
