• As it turns out, it looks like many companies are still engaging in guesswork. A Hubspot study found that a full 42% of companies don't survey their customers or collect feedback. This shows that this could be an area to exploit.
• We were not provided a geographic focus for this project, so we assumed a narrow approach and looked specifically at the United States. If a more broad approach is desired, for example, a global view, this would have to be clearly communicated to us in any reply within each appropriate scoping box.

Summary Of Our Early Findings Relevant To The Goals

• As discussed at the top of this document, we were not provided a geographic focus for this project, so we assumed a narrow approach and looked specifically at the United States. If a more broad approach is desired, for example, a global view, this would have to be clearly communicated to us in any reply within each appropriate scoping box.
• Our initial hour of research focused on scanning and curating eight companies that offer surveys that can be embedded with ad spots. They are GetFeedback, ZohoSurvey, YesInsights, Alchemer, Jotform, SogoSurvey, Qualtrics, and QuestionPro.
• There appear to be more companies/tools out there that do this, but we did not have enough time in the initial hour to find and vet them. If more companies/tools are desired, we can locate more in subsequent research, and that will be scoped for.
• We did not have time to delve into the features, pricing, products, customers, and functionality of all the identified tools in order to provide a competitive landscape. If that is desired, we can do that in subsequent research, and that will be scoped for.
• Please select one or more of the options provided in the proposed scoping section below.
