Pat:

Any idea of the size of the total population this survey involves? What size sample, given your chosen means of selection, will you need to achieve a margin of error of +/-4%?

Since you are seeking unstructured annecdotal data, what confiednce factor can you assign to the results and how will you quantify the data for analysis?

Quite often each establishment in a sample is assigned a weight calculated as the inverse of the probability of sample selection; how will you weight the samples?

Or, are you just looking for stories for fun? It makes a difference in what I send you.
