your questionnaire will not tell you very much. It limits people's choices. For instance, you ask "what do you think of the colour red in beverage packaging" (or something like that). My answer would be that I try to buy my food and drink items based on prior experience and taste. I tend to look at things like alcohol content, ingredients and ask other people their opinions. In a world of commercialism run-wild, it's impossible to know anything about any product when we listen to those who are selling it. For instance, "monster" is sold as a medicinal drink, containing herbs and vitamins, when it is basically a concentrated solution of caffeine and taurine (a derivative of speed), both of which are hazardous to health. However, I am aware that packaging plays a role in my purchasing decisions, since I am only human and cannot remove my impressionable side. The whole situation makes me a little annoyed.
In your questionnaire, my answer would have been reduced to "so-so".

A. Business strategies for inducing customers
I find most advertising to be offensive either to the physical senses or else to the intelligence of the consumer. I buy things because of personal preferences like taste, expense, quality, etc. and not as a result of marketing procedures. As a matter of fact, the more I see of an ad, the less likely I am to buy the product, especially if the ad is offensive to me.

Dear hermanntrude,
I'm very pleased to receive your reply to my questionnaire. Well, I can deny that you have made useful comments on mine. and your analyses of it and your experience on purchasing are quite practical and to the point. I'm appreicated.
The contents in this questionnaire, in your opinion, are related to commercial and business, right? but actually, in my paper, they are related to academic use. I'm not a student studying in business, but in language. What I decided in the contents are just phenomenon appeared in life, but my analyses are based on linguistic, psychology. because I wanna to use a new-established linguistic theory to elaborate this phenomenon.Thus, my questionniare does not merely focus on business, transaction, etc, but more than that.
Anyway, thanks for your reply. And your words would be quoted in my paper~

Hi, Mandy, it was just a suggestion! But, I have wondered what your nickname means, if anything. CMR? Centre for Male Reproduction? Canadian Magazine Register? Communist Macho from Romania? Common Market Review? Cold Medicine Research? Or what?

Loon,~~~I should say that you have a wonderful imagination~your ideas are absolutely novel and incrediable~~I love them, esp. Centre for Male Reproduction, haha~~ what a new idea~ what about i at once set up a workshop, giving up my paper, then buy several machines, to make males!!!! like clone~ great!
actually, cmr is an abbreviation of my Chinese name, you know, Chinese are accustomed to use Pinyin to call their names and things. e.g. Canada in Chinese is Jia Na Da, three words to represent the name of your country.
my name has 3 words, and the first character in each words is c, m & r, so I usually use the abbreviation.
If you don't understand, never mind, just remember to call me Mandy~ yes.~
