Can I Interview You on a Purchase You Made?

Here’s the Offer:

For one hour of your time (Amazon gift card if chosen), can I call you to hear the story of a recent purchase you made? It can’t be a gift you made, it has to be a sizable amount you paid (dozens and dozens of dollars), and most importantly, you were doing a back-and-forth in your mind before you decided to make the purchase.

The Fine Print:

For your help, and if I select your purchase story, I’ll offer a gift certificate for Amazon for USD $60. I’ll be recording the interview for my own records (not for the public), but I reverse the right to use your story as an example in an article (with your name and sensitive bits removed).

Thanks for your interest. Can I ask for some details abour your purchase?

What's Your Name?

What's Your Email Address?

I won't sign you up for anything with this form.

What can you tell me about the purchase you made?

When was it that you made this purchase

In the last 3 months

Before 3 months ago

How best can you describe the purchase day (e.g. Specific date, or "Probably on a Sunday, end of January")

How much did you have to think about making this purchase?

It was an instant purchase - not much mental back-and-forth

I thought about it intensely, lots of back-and-forth, but it happened pretty quickly

I bought it the same day I thought of it, but there was just a little back-and-forth, not much.

I thought about it over a day or two before deciding, some mental back-and-forth

I thought about it over several days or weeks, with a lot of mental back-and-forth

Let me just explain it to you in a follow-up email...

Who did you make the purchase for?

For me, personally

As a gift for someone

Using the money from where I work, for work

Other, just not as a gift.

How much did you pay?

If you are human, leave this blank.

Thanks! I'll be in touch within a couple days to let you know if I'd like to proceed with the interview call and everything.
