Is the survey ready to send out?

Dear Residents of Rivertown Lofts,

It has been nearly one year since the Light or Dark Convenience Store and Concierge Services opened our doors. Accordingly, we are planning a Celebration Event for October 29th so mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details.

The year has been filled with remarkable relationship building and learning focused on creating a more meaningful and connected experience for our residents at Rivertown Lofts. The information and feedback we have been able to gather through our many conversations is quietly bringing about a transformation with regards to our products and services. Thank you for sharing!

Light or Dark would like to further adapt our products and services to more closely reflect your needs and wishes as a resident and we can’t do that alone. In return for your precious time spent filling out this short survey, we promise to use this knowledge to create more meaningful life and work enhancing opportunities and experiences for you.

Store & Services

If we were able to offer freshly made healthy food from mostly Michigan products, such as sandwiches, smoothies, salads, muffins, cookies, would this be something that you would enjoy? Do you have any favorites from these categories that may inform our consideration as we develop these product offerings?

We would like to offer more green products to you. Are there any that you currently use or some that you would like to see in the store?

What are your favorite Michigan Products?

We would like to create a gift and specialty shop ambiance for our store that supports local Detroit artists and manufacturers as much as possible. Are there any local artists or crafters whose products you would like to see in our store?

Are you aware of all of the services that are offered through Light or Dark? Are there any areas of your life that you could use an extra hand with?


Events

Would you be interested in more events being held at the lofts? If you have ideas, or themes that you have experienced as fun in the past, let us know!

If we were to partner with local restaurants to serve meals and drinks on designated nights in the community room, is this a service you would use? What are your favorite local restaurants?

Incubator

We are proposing to facilitate the development of a social-networked incubator vehicle for our multi-talented residents at the Lofts to provide for seamless connections to one another, sharing of assets, ideas, skills and resources culminating in refined personal and professional services. Does this sound like something that you might like to participate in?

Do you have any skills or talents that you would be interested in sharing via mentoring of a young person, or projects that you might include them in (job shadowing)? If so, could you briefly explain what they are?

Do you work with or volunteer your time with any community organizations in the surrounding area? If so, what is their mission and what areas are they in need of partnered help with?

  1. I thought mention of the incubator was going to be a more intimate conversation until the event?

    Also, I don't know the tenants at all, but does the language appropriately address the audience? (I have been working with young funny men for the past few years and am used to light, witty prose. This sophisticated, intellectual writing is new to me ;)

  2. We are going to begin the conversation about the incubator. And please feel free to change up the language, I'm not a survey writer by any means, however I do think it fits the audience in a basic way, not sure where you are seeing the intellectual writing - but if it's there and too much please edit. That said, I know that fun language is always refreshing but I don't have any energy for a witty hipster rewrite ;-))
