We recently created an ACID Membership survey to identify how members are utilising our membership benefits. We also wanted to receive feedback on how we can improve and add to benefits for the ACID Community. To encourage membership to respond we offered a draw and prize of £250.00.

We are delighted to announce the ACID survey draw winner – ACID Member Jenny Gordon, a Jewellery designer and maker, Jenny Gordon Goldsmith, based in Co. Down, Northern Ireland.

On hearing of her success in the draw for survey responders Jenny Gordon commented, “I am so delighted to have been picked in the ACID membership survey draw and really do appreciate the £250, especially at this time. I think it is great how you are constantly considering the benefits of your members and how to improve these benefits moving forward. I was considering uploading to the ACID Marketplace and am now thrilled to have the opportunity to also be mentioned in one of the Member Focus articles.”

Dids Macdonald, OBE., CEO of ACID said “Sometimes surveys can be a bit onerous, but it was essential for us to be able to really examine what our members think of us and, more importantly, how we can improve on our benefits. We hoped that in these difficult times the prize would help a designer to continue to design and be ready to maximise their creativity when the current crisis is contained, and we return to business as usual.”

The responses have allowed us to analyse the most important requirements of our members and allows us to listen and plan for improvements and upgrades in the future.  We awarded all survey responders 10 free upload credits for one of our major membership benefits, the ACID IP Databank and we can see that many of you have been making use of these credits in recent weeks.

Jenny Gordon, our draw winner, also wins the option to be featured in a Member Focus article, which will be shown to membership and be placed on our website and social media platforms.
