I need to do a survey regarding ice cream shops for my business class. Only takes 90 seconds…Please?

Question

Its for a school project so the more answers the better. Easy points ;)

Which do you prefer and why? Coldstone, Maggie Moo’s or Marble Slab?

Do you prefer a place that offers Mix-ins over one that doesn’t? (Ex. Baskin Robbins, Dairy Queen, etc.)

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, rate which factors influence where you go:

The Ice Creams, Mix-ins, and other treats
The venue and overall appearance
The quality of the staff
Any promotions/coupons

Approximately how many times do you visit an Ice Cream shop during

Spring

(Honestly, I only go 2 or 3 times a year, regardless of season, though I am more likely to go in the Spring, Summer or Fall (I live in Texas, so fall can be pretty warm). I usually buy ice cream and eat it at home.

Would you be more likely to visit an Ice Cream shop during winter if they held a promotion of some sort? Yes.

Answer 3

I've only been to Coldstone and Marble Slab. Either one is ok, they are basically the same. Same idea, different name really.

It really doesn't matter to me. I really prefer my ice cream without a lot of fuss.

Ice creams are important, mix ins and other treats are not so 7.
Overall appearance is important because I don't like to eat or purchase food in a nasty, unclean place so 10.
Quality of staff is very important because I don't want to be helped by a rude person. If I have unacceptable service somewhere, I won't go back so 10.
Promotions and coupons are not a big deal to me although they help when money is tight. When I like the service and product I'm paying for, price really doesn't matter so 5.

I go to ice cream shops during the spring 3-4 times, summer 5-6 times, fall 1-2 times, and winter maybe once.

I would more likely visit an ice cream shop during the winter if they had a promotion.

You are welcome. I always like to help where I can.

Answer 4

Marble Slab

Prefer a place that offers Mix ins over one that doesnt

The IceCreams, Mix ins and other treats 10

Spring 5 times
Summer 15 times
Fall 10 times
Winter 5 times

Would visit an Ice Cream shop during winter if they held a promotion of some sort.

Answer 5

Coldstone Creamery.

I prefer a non-mix in place like Baskin Robbins.

10 - Ice creams, mix-ins, etc.
8 - venue
5 - quality of staff
1 - promotions

Spring - 0
Summer - 1
Fall - 0
Winter - 0

I would visit an ice cream shop in the winter, even with a promotion.

Answer 6

I prefer Marble Slab because that's where we go mostly. We have a Cold Stone a couple city's over but never get a chance to go there.

I would rather find a place that can mix in my fave candy, Reeses PB cups, with ice cream, so I prefer Marble Slab or Brahm's or even Dairy Queen.

10 - Ice Cream, Mixins, and other treats
8 - venue and overall appearance
8 - quality of the staff
5 - promotions/coupons

Spring - less than 5
Summer - less than 25
Fall - less than 5
Winter - less than 5

Ice cream and winter just don't go together! lol The only reason I'll have ice cream during the winter is if I have a craving for it that I just can't get rid of!

Answer 7

Coldstone - I love their flavors, they are unique and it has a fun atmosphere.

I like a place with mix-ins better but it wouldn't stop me from going to a place just because they didn't have them.

Ice Cream, mix ins - 10
Appearance - 8
Staff - 8
Coupons - 3

Spring - once or twice
Summer - 5-10 times
Fall - once
Winter 10 - 15 times

I'm kind of weird I like ice cream more in the winter so adding a promotion might be nice but it wouldn't really change the frequency.

Answer 8

Coldstone. To me their ice cream just tastes better.

Having the mix-ins isn't too important to me, but I would go to one that had them so that I had the option if I wanted.

8, 10, 10, 5

Spring-2-3 a month
Summer - depends on how hot, but 4-5 a month
Fall- 2-3 a month
Winter- 1-2 a month

Probably not. I usually don't go for the promotions.

Thanks for the points. Good luck!

Answer 9

Coldstone the ice cream has a fresher taste
The mix ins don't really matter I prefer my ice cream unpolluted
Baskin Robbins is the place that I visit.

Answer 10

1- Marble Slab. I don't know what the other 2 are but, it is very cool (and special) to have ice cream served that way.
2- No
3- 8,10,10,1
4-3,5,2,1
5-That is the only time of year that a promotion would affect me. Some kind of hot chocolate drink/ice cream dollop/whip cream with sprinkles....seems like hot fudge should fit in there somewhere, tee hee, I don't know. Some hot/cold contrast things. Don't forget to hang the Christmas lights and have your theme be what it must be like at Santa's house when they all go into the kitchen for ice cream. Just an idea.
