Good Evening, my name is ..... from Paterson Consulting, the market research consultancy. We are conducting a survey about the treatment of blowfly strike amongst sheep and wool producers. We are not looking to sell you anything. Your responses will remain confidential and will be combined with those of other participants.
The survey will take approximately 10 minutes; we are only after your honest opinions and there are no right or wrong answers. Is this a convenient time to conduct the survey or would you prefer that I call back? |

I'd like to talk with you about Vetrazin a bit more. Vetrazin provides robust protection against blowflystrike for up to 14 weeks, but it does not rapidly control existing strike.
A new product called Cyrex will become available this spring. It contains the active ingredient found in Vetrazin, as well as a rapid knockdown component. In effect, it protects against blowfly strike for exactly the same length of time as Vetrazin and also treats existing flystrike. On average, Vetrazin costs about 40 cents per head.
Now, based on what you have just heard, on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1= Very Unlikely, 2= Unlikely, 3=Neither Unlikely or Likely, 4= Likely, 5= Very Likely.
A) Assuming that price is not an issue, how likely would you be to consider using this new product?
B) And how likely would you be to consider using this new product if it cost about 15 cents per head more than Vetrazin?
C)And how likely would you be to consider using this new product it if cost about 10 cents per head more than Vetrazin?
D) And how likely would you be to consider using this new product it if cost about 5 cents per head more than Vetrazin?
