Hello and thank you for responding. As we mentioned in the e-mail, we are conducting a survey about products for children.

We are a nationwide childrens product store. To find out who we are you have to take the survey- but you've probably shopped with us before! We need your help to understand how to make our products and store better.

This is not a marketing or sales program. We respect your privacy and will not share your information with any third party.
Please take some time to give your full and honest opinion- good or bad- to the questions that follow. The survey will last about 10 minutes. If you complete the survey, we will send you a $15 gift card that can be used at any of our stores.
