<p>Well, I figure the same is true for people when they&#39;re investing in <a href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com" target="_self" title="High End Handmade Furniture">high end, handmade furniture</a>.&#0160; But unfortunately not much performance data is available from furniture companies.&#0160; Either they don&#39;t do customer satisfaction surveys or they choose not to publish their results.&#0160; Why is that?</p>
<p>Although we&#39;re a small company, we&#39;ve been surveying our customers since we started our business 6 years ago.&#0160; I thought I would share some of our results and performance metrics with you over the next couple weeks.&#0160; These results are taken from a survey of 130 customers who just received their new furniture over the last few months.&#0160; We received 69 customer responses for a pretty decent response rate of 53%.&#0160; The questions we asked them included:</p>
<p><a href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com/" style="float: left;" target="_self" title="Fine Furniture Reviews, Ratings, Opinions"><img alt="Furniture-reviews-opinions" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d83452272669e2015437e7bd97970c" src="http://vermontwoodsstudios.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452272669e2015437e7bd97970c-300wi" style="width: 300px; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" title="Furniture-reviews-opinions" /></a></p>
<p>&#0160;</p>
<p>Please rate our performance in the following areas</p>
<ul>
</ul>
<p>*&#0160; Quality of furniture<br />*&#0160; Ease of ordering<br />*&#0160; Shipping and delivery<br />*&#0160; Response of customer sevice personnel<br />*&#0160; Would you purchase from <a href="http://vermontwoodsstudios.com" target="_self" title="Fine Handmade Wood Furniture From Vermont">Vermont Woods Studios Furniture</a> again?</p>
<ul>
</ul>
