Arcade Managers' survey

gfpaperboy22 · Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2004 7:31 pm Post subject: Arcade Managers' survey

I recently ran into the Game Manager for Mountasia @ Willobrook here in Houston, TX and convinced him to fill out a survey about the benifits of DDR, that way I can pass that along to Arcades in my home town of Stillwater, OK and try to convince them that DDR is good for buisness. However, I need your help for questions to ask on the Survey.

These are the only ones I can think of thus far:

'After Purchasing Dance Dance Revolution did your company experience a gain in profit?'

'What influenced your decision to aquire Dance Dance Revolution?'

'Has Dance Dance Revolution Payed for itself?'

'Would you recommend Dance Dance Revolution to other vendors?'

I'll take the best questions and create a form for which I can have the manager fill out. If this works out, i'll post the completed form for others to use to convince their local arcades to aquire DDR.

Update #1:
These I got from another board.

'What are the maintanace costs incurred by DDR?'

'What are the profit returns from DDR?'

'Did you see an increase of customers at your arcade after purchasing a Dance Dance Revolution cabinet?'

The VERY first question you should ask yourself is... is he going to answer the questions the way you want? If yes, great, go ahead and ask... if no, the question isn't what quesiton your asking, but how best to skew the answers so they look good...

I've already talked with him a bit and he's very enthusiatic about DDR. I even asked if the machine has payed for itself and he said that it had many times over.

'After Purchasing Dance Dance Revolution did your company experience a gain in profit?' Yes, the game has moved into our top ten game list

'What influenced your decision to aquire Dance Dance Revolution?'The Profit other stores have received

These are questions I have asked in the past...

How did you come about getting DDR (ie: catalog, another vendor, random person)?

What did you think DDR was at first, without seeing it? Were you surprised when you saw it in person?

How long does it take you to clean the pad and the cabinet?

Would you consider purchasing other arcade games in the Bemani series, the series DDR is in?

Did you get the word out that you had DDR, or did arcade goers just find it and they spread the word?

What is the wait time to play DDR on an average day? And do people play other games while they're waiting to play DDR?
