STUDY METHODOLOGY, continued DATA COLLECTION On November 29, 2005, an email blast including a survey link, was sent to 6,160 qualified attendees of the 2005 CHEM SHOW. One week later, on December 6, a follow-up email blast was sent to non- respondents to increase response. A drawing was offered for an iPod 30GB as an incentive. In total, 737 respondents answered the survey. The margin of error, based on 737 respondents is calculated to be no greater than +/-3.8%, a sufficient sample to ensure that the results reflect a true picture of the general opinions of the CHEM SHOW attendees. The Wayman Group, Inc., an independent marketing research firm, coordinated both data collection and reporting of survey results. Further, the survey was sent out as a blind survey from The Wayman Group, Inc. Survey participants were unaware that Chemical Engineering commissioned the survey. ABOUT THE WAYMAN GROUP, INC.
