Calling All Pressure and Temperature Sensing and Switching Suppliers - iPad2 Raffle

If you are a manufacturer/supplier of Pressure and/or Temperature Sensors, Transducers, Transmitters, and/or Switches we would like to hear from you.

As you probably saw in a previous blog, we have already started our End User/Demand-Side research for this project.

Now, we are kicking off our Supply-Side research in support of our 4 volume report on Pressure and Temperature Sensors, Transducers, Transmitters, and Switches. VDC Research will be committing a team of 3 analysts that will be contacting well over 125 suppliers of these products. It is our aim to have all four volumes of the report available for the important planning period in Q1/2012. Therefore, all 4 volumes are now planned to ship by the end of 2011. In order to do this, we need your help.

To make things interesting, and add some excitement to the project we have decided to let suppliers of the covered products have a chance to win an iPad2 if they participate.

Here’s how it works:

• If you spend 5-10 minutes on our Supplier Strategy survey, you get a single “ticket” in the raffle. Do it before Friday October 14^th, 2011 and that’s doubled to 2 tickets.
  • In addition to the raffle ticket(s), you would also get the aggregated results of that strategy survey in late December.

• If you provide us with a short ~30 minute interview to get some insights into your company, its pressure and temperature products, and your view of the market that’s worth 5 tickets.

• Not enough time for an interview? That’s OK, you can take our streamlined “just the basics” on-line survey and that’s worth 3 tickets.

• If you take the streamlined survey or grant us an interview, you will also receive a participant’s edition of the executive brief from the reports in early January when the reports are complete.

Note: In all cases, your/your company’s participation will be kept confidential. All insights and analysis that are published as a result of supplier participation will be identified as VDC estimates/opinion.

If for some reason you are not the correct person to work with for this these types of products and/or this type of inquiry, we would appreciate it if you could please forward these links and information to the correct parties. You would figure that if they win the iPad2, they would at least owe you a nice lunch/dinner.
