Esteemed George Fox students,
We are a small team made up of senior business marketing students, and in preparation for a career in marketing we were assigned to work with a real-world client on a marketing project.
We choose to analyze the Bruin Store to evaluate its current client base, with aspirations in understanding what students really want. With this, we hope to provide feedback and constructive criticism to the Bruin Store so they can improve their efforts in serving students.
Your help in completing this short five- to 10-minute survey will benefit the student population, and it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
