Methodology
The names used for this survey were selected on an nth name basis from a list of gift stores purchased from Info USA and were provided to Research USA Giftware News. On May 20, 2005, every name selected was mailed a three-page questionnaire, a cover letter from Research USA asking for their cooperation, a one-dollar incentive, and a stamped return envelope. Follow-up mailings consisting of a questionnaire, cover letter, and a stamped return envelope were made to non-respondents on June 10 and again on July 8, 2005. The July 8th mailing also included another one-dollar bill incentive. No indication was given in any of the mailings that the survey was being conducted.
