Today, we want to do one thing: listen to you.
Since day one, our goal at CHStoday has been to create a product for the Charleston community – with conversations around the topics that are important to you, in a way that incorporates your voice + feedback.
In an effort to better understand who you (our 41,950 readers) are, what you’re looking for out of this newsletter, and how we can improve – we’re launching a Reader Feedback Survey.
The survey will take a couple of minutes to complete, and your feedback will be read + used to help us determine how we create CHStoday moving forward.
Simply put, we want to hear what you think, and we want to continue to improve so this product helps you stay informed about, and engaged with, your community. And (to sweeten the deal) you can enter to win $100 just for participating. 💸
