happening at Actrix |

|
| 8. Do you
find the newsletters download for you at an acceptable speed? |
| 4 |
|
They always take too
long to download and I wish you could speed the process up. |
| 4 |
|
They take too long to
download, so I rarely bother going to the site. |
| 37 |
|
Sometimes they take a
while and I begin to get impatient. |
| 44 |
|
I get the e-mail
text-only version, so I never experience the download conditions. |
| 497 |
|
Yes, there's a short
wait, but I find they usually download before long. |
|
| 9. The
newsletters come to you as a service rather than as a marketing tool. Thus newsletters
have always had a (virtually) no advertising policy. This is unlikely to change, but we
thought we'd ask anyway. How would you feel about occasional advertising content in the
newsletters? |
| 16 |
|
Actrix customers should
be allowed to advertise their businesses in the newsletter. |
| 23 |
|
It would be good to see
some advertising for local products. |
| 246 |
|
Ads would lessen the
value of the newsletters to me. |
| 304 |
|
The odd ad would be
okay but don't overdo it. |
|
| 10. How do
you feel about the content of the newsletters? |
| 1 |
|
It's the same old
boring tripe over and over. |
| 2 |
|
I rarely see an
anything there that interests me. |
| 174 |
|
Sometimes it's good and
relevant to me. Other times it is not. |
| 409 |
|
Always varied and
interesting. There's usually something that interests me in each issue. |
|
| 11. How do
you find the writing style of the articles? |
| 7 |
|
I rarely bother with
the articles because they are so technical. |
| 16 |
|
I'd prefer a greater
depth of technical detail. |
| 177 |
|
Usually I have no
problem understanding, but occasionally they get a bit too technical. |
| 384 |
|
The articles are
well-explained, engaging to read and mostly easy to follow. |
|
| 12. How
easy are the newsletters to navigate? |
| 6 |
|
The layout is confusing
and I never know where I am in the newsletter. |
| 568 |
|
I find the layout easy
to use. I click the heading on the left and the article pops up on the right! |
|
| 13. How do
you find the layout, look, feel and artwork in the newsletters? |
| 1 |
|
The colour combinations
make my head spin and stomach turn. |
| 2 |
|
I find the colours
unpleasant or a little hard read |
| 15 |
|
Too much writing, not
enough pictures |
| 107 |
|
I don't care about the
look and feel of the newsletters all that much. |
| 107 |
|
The artwork is okay,
but it could use a little more variety. |
| 338 |
|
The artwork is easy on
the eye and adds to the pleasure of reading the newsletter. |
|
| 15. How do
you feel about Actrix advertising its services and products in the newsletter? |
| 4 |
|
If I see one more word
about Actrix, I'm not reading the newsletters anymore! |
| 13 |
|
I have no interest in
what Actrix have to offer besides my connection. Just give me the articles about how to
make the most of the web. |
| 241 |
|
Good idea. It's nice to
know what's going on at my ISP. |
| 328 |
|
Fair enough. The
newsletters are free, so some advertising of Actrix stuff would be acceptable. |
