Oberlin College students are conducting a “buy survey” in Oberlin, OH. What is a “buy survey?” It is an opportunity to build consumer-to-business connections to forecast products and services needed and purchased by Oberlin residents, College students, and College faculty/staff. Each group is encouraged to take individual versions of the survey. City Economic Development staff believe the survey data will help strengthen the Oberlin economy and our local businesses, and to reduce the need leave Oberlin for products and services.
This survey effort has been led by the Oberlin College Student Senate in partnership with Main Street Oberlin, the Oberlin Area Chamber of Commerce, the City of Oberlin Economic Development Office and various departments at Oberlin College. The goal is to learn what goods and services are purchased outside Oberlin, so that we might bring those goods and services to Oberlin to enable more local shopping. Survey results will also help to provide valuable data to enable new businesses to find a home in our community to fill an unmet need and the data may encourage an entrepreneurial spirit that could expand commercial development within our local economy.
