In case you missed our November/December issue, our cover story discussed what is on the wish list of tribal members for the holiday season. Since we always want to continue in the spirit of giving, especially to you, our loyal readers, we have come up with a special gift that will surely be a conversation piece at your next holiday party as a cool stocking stuffe. The gadget in question is the SQUARE mobile application device – a credit card with built-in technology to process MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover cards on a smart phone or iPad device. However, there is one catch – you must take and complete our Annual Salary Survey, which will be published in the January/February edition of SMB Nation magazine.

So now you are probably wondering how you can sign up to take our survey (and receive your free gift). It’s simple – just click to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RT99B5Q, and you will be taken to our full survey questionnaire housed on Survey Monkey. All we need is no more than 10 minutes of your time, and unlike other surveys, the Square device will be distributed as part of our gift to you—it’s not a raffle—so there is 100% chance that you will get your free gift, just for spending a few minutes of your day to provide us with important data.
Because your privacy and confidentiality is important to us, once you have completed our survey questions, simply click the field at the end, and the prompt will ask you to email Heather Childers, our database administrator at: heatherc@smbnation.com. In order to obtain your free Square device, just let Heather know you completed the survey, and include your contact information, so we can ensure your device gets sent out to you:
In fairness to everyone completing the survey, no cheating please! We ask that only those completing the survey to send their information for the free Square device gift. Heather will be able to confirm if the survey was completed prior to requesting the free gift, so please keep it fair and balanced!
