The Mets Police

The New York Mets have sent out a sponsorship survey to some of the fanbase.  This is part two of a lengthy survey, part one is here.   Some of the questions cut off but you should be able to figure it out.

While there is nothing "wrong" with this survey it sure is odd.  

We’d now like to ask you some questions about one of the banks above.

Please rate how much you agree or disagree that each statement below describes Citi/Citibank. 7 - Strongly agree 6 5 4 3 2 1 - Strongly disagree Is for people like me Is a company I trust Has a good reputation Is an innovative company Is a bank that is actively involved in my community

As you may have indicated earlier in this survey, the ballpark where the Mets play is sponsored by Citi. How does this make you feel towards Citi?

5 - Much more positive 4 - Somewhat more positive 3 - No impact 2 - Somewhat more negative 1 - Much more negative

Again, thinking about the fact that Citi sponsors the ballpark, how does that affect your interest in doing business with Citi? 5 - Makes me much more interested 4 - Makes me somewhat more interested 3 - No impact 2 - Makes me somewhat less interested 1 - Makes me much less interested

Are you aware of the community outreach program Citi Kids? Yes No

How does the fact that Citi sponsors community outreach programs affect your perception of Citi? 5 - Much more positive 4 - Somewhat more positive 3 - No impact 2 - Somewhat more negative 1 - Much more negative

How much does Citi sponsoring these programs affect your likelihood of doing business with Citi? 5 - Makes me much more interested 4 - Makes me somewhat more interested 3 - No impact 2 - Makes me somewhat less interested 1 - Makes me much less interested

Then some questions about how old you are, where you live, what kind of cash you make.
