I know ye don’t normally do this but i would really appreciate if you might share my survey on broadsheet.

As part of my masters dissertation in Digital Marketing I am exploring the issue of consumer trust and credibility in Irish Beauty and Fashion Bloggers.

Many fashion and beauty bloggers are receiving gifts, rewards and some are receiving monetary compensation for writing about brands and products.

This survey aims to explore to what degree to which readers are aware of this and its potential influence on their purchasing behaviour. You can also be in with a chance to win a €60 Penneys giftcard by completing the survey. Survey only takes 5 minutes!
