You are invited to take part in a survey (approx. 10 minutes) conducted by students in the JR Shaw School of Business for the course MARK3460 Marketing Research.
For the purpose of our survey, we aim to investigate the spending patterns of pet owners in urban areas, identify obstacles, and explore how marketing tactics can better align with the preferences and constraints of current urban customers.
Objectives:
-    We aim to find out the average amount owners spend on taking care of their pets, based on a monthly time frame.
-    We aim to discover reasons people who are interested in pet ownership would decide not to and analyze the factors influencing this decision.
-    We aim to determine the effectiveness of pet adoption and product advertisements on pet adoption rates and pet retention
-    We aim to gauge the satisfaction of pet owners with current pet products
