We’ve been in the media monitoring business pretty much since it went online – our business dates back to 1986. Whether you’ve been with us from the days of scissors and faxes, or are newer to the idea of Media Monitoring, we want to hear what “media monitoring” means to you.
Got more to share? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
As we enter our fall training season, we want to ensure we are meeting all your FPinfomart learning needs. Please let us know what you are looking for from our training programs by completing our monthly poll.
The poll closes on Friday, August 20th at noon (Eastern time).
Thanks to all of those who participated in our monthly poll. This month’s theme was “Lazy Days of Summer.” We asked if your FPinfomart usage changes during the summer, and if so, why.
We also asked for the most unusual place you’ve used FPinfomart. Our favourite answer (of course!) was “My back patio!“ And, your favourite summer activity by a long stretch, with 83% of responses, was “Vacation out of town (travel).“
Here are some of the other results of this survey.
Do find that you use FPinfomart less in the summer months?
If your usage patterns of FPinfomart change in summer, why do you think that is? (Check all that apply)
Does the subject matter you research or monitor on FPinfomart change in the summer?
Have you ever used FPinfomart to research fun things to do for the summer?
Watch for our next monthly poll, to be announced in our August newsletter. Thanks as always for your feedback!
We often see the FPinfomart usage statistics decline slightly over the summer months. We want to know how the summer months impact your usage of FPinfomart? Please take our very short survey and let us know how you are spending your summer. We will share some of the more unusual responses here.
Poll closes on Friday, July 16th at 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

Last week we shared the winning entry in our Valentine’s love letter contest. This week, I thought you might like to see a couple of other results from our monthly poll for February.
Our users are a loyal bunch, with the largest group of respondents using the product for over 10 years.
When asked to pick one favourite feature, the answers were varied - but Personal Profiles came out on top, follwed by Alerts.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our February monthly poll. We announce a new poll in each month’s e-newsletter, so watch your inbox in the first week of the new month.
We take your feedback very seriously – this morning I reviewed my statistics and found that in the past year we have implemented 23% of customer suggestions. We’re very pleased with that ratio, and hope you are too.
We had a bit of fun with the February edition of our monthly poll. Those who participated in the survey were invited to write us a love letter, in the spirit of Valentine’s day. We couldn’t have predicted how fabulous the results would be. After a very close vote, the winning entry is presented here. However, we had so many outstanding entries that we couldn’t resist posting a couple of the runners-up. As promised, these love letters to FPinfomart are presented anonymously – so congratulations to our winner, and kudos to our runners-up. You brightened our day and made us laugh – and what else can we ask for on Valentine’s Day?
The Winning Entry:
Dear FPinfomart,
I wanted to write this letter to thank you for always being there. You are the first email I see in the morning and the last email that comes in at night (even though you are sent to me at 4am) I still get excited when I see that you have alerted me on news that involves what I do. Its so generous of you to always have me on your mind. Without you I would be strapped for loonies, due to me having to buy newspapers every morning to see what articles have been written. I cannot tell you in words how much you mean to me. Only you have a way with words that no-one else can compare too. Please never leave me!
Your true love, [name withheld]
The Runners-Up:
1st Runner-Up:
FPinformart is the heart and soul of my workday. It brings me precious information in a detailed and organized way and gives me what I want when I want it like a good partner should. Without FPinformart in my life I would be lost and have to turn to paper newspapers again to get my fix. FP informart never gets jealous and loves the way I provide input. When I am wrong, it gently reminds me in a kind way of how I can do better and it never judges me. I love you FPinfomart, you and I are a perfect relationship.
2nd Runner-Up:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Without FP Infomart,
I would be screwed.
[Update - the February poll is now closed. Thank you for your feedback!]
