Take the Piper Jaffray Spring Teen Survey Today!

Spring has sprung and it's time for the Piper Jaffray Spring Teen Survey!

The survey is a great independent learning activity that reinforces your classroom teaching of marketing research.  

The Piper Jaffray/DECA Teen Opinion Survey is now available online until Tuesday, April 1, 2014.

After your students have taken the survey, and the survey month is over, check back to request the final report. This is a great classroom activity to demonstrate research principles, activities, analysis and consumption.

Please make sure your students take the spring survey every March and the fall survey every September and check back for the results each time!
