More results from our February monthly poll

Posted by Jennifer Stein on February 25, 2010

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.

Graph - length of FPinfomart usage

Our users are a loyal bunch, with the largest group of respondents using the product for over 10 years.

Graph - Favourite Features

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.

Winner of the FPinfomart Love Letter Contest

Posted by Jennifer Stein on February 16, 2010

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.
