This page shows the results of our ongoing survey about likes and preferences. Survey responses are completely anonymous and they give us vital feedback to help us shape the club and what it offers. So, if you haven’t already, please click the link below to go to Survey Monkey and participate. It should take less than 4 minutes of your time. Thanks! https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HMSD9M3 RESULTS TO DATE (last updated 2 June 2018) Note: The charts below are screen grabs. Don’t try clicking on the “Customise” and “Export” buttons – because they won’t work! Q1: How do you follow the club? Based on responses, most of our followers keep up-to-date through our Facebook page and group. Q2: What music do our followers like? It looks like we are mostly blues lovers. Classic R&B also has quite a few fans. Interesting that blues-rock is a popular choice. Soul also has a healthy following. Q3: Level of interest in attending events. Perhaps not surprisingly, folks responding the survey have some level of interest in coming to club events. It’s nice to see there’s a good chunk who express an interest in coming regularly. Q4: Where do folks live? Respondents are fairly well scattered across the Surrey and South London area. A significant proportion live in the east end of Surrey from Epsom & Ewell through to Tandridge. Understandable given the current club nights are running in Caterham. Q5: Where would folks travel to for a live music event? These results would seem to show there is some willingness to travel off your “home turf” to come to a club event. Q6: Ah, the “money question”… the economic goal of the club is to break-even. So, pitching price right – so that we can attract a good size audience and pay our guest musicians enough to make it an attractive gig – is a vital consideration. Most of the acts we present in our first few months of existence will probably fit into the “good quality but unknown” category. So, responses to this particular question give us our best indicator of where our ticket price should lie … Interestingly, responses would seem to indicate we could afford to charge slightly more than we currently do without alienating our audience. Q7: This still concerns ticket pricing. We would hope to be presenting acts that fall into this category in the not-too-distant future (while continuing to provide a stage for the “unknowns”). Response would suggest around £10 would be an appropriate price-point for these tickets. Q8: At some point in the future we may be in a position to attract established, “name” acts. The wide spread of responses here is quite interesting – and perhaps reflects the breadth of subjective interpretations of “well known”. Q9: For this next question we’ve asked respondent to attach importance to certain factors – in terms how they impact the attractiveness of the club for a night out. It’s perhaps not surprising that “quality” of the music ranks high. Being able to get up and dance ranks fairly low among our respondents to date – comfort, chairs and tables being ranked higher. Good to see that many folks seem happy to come see an unknown act if they believe the quality bar is being kept reasonable high. Q10: … and are you coming to the next club night? This was initially asked to try and judge interest for our first club night way back in March. Over time, it perhaps helps us to understand reasons why folks may not attend. We hope you find these results interesting reading. Do feel free to comment on any of these – or to mention factors that perhaps aren’t covered in these questions. Many thanks to those who have already responded. If you would like to add your voice, the survey remains open: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HMSD9M3
