How did you get my name?
If you received a Barlow Research questionnaire for a proprietary study (a bank logo appears on either the survey or the cover letter), then your name was received in a list of customers from your bank. If you received a questionnaire for a syndicated nationwide study (no bank logos anywhere), we received your name in a list purchased from Dun & Bradstreet Corporation.
