Miles
Have you heard about the recent survey conducted regarding sports and leisure activities?
Mark
A bit. I heard that they found that women are the more active group when it comes to leisure hobbies. But as far as actual numbers are concerned, I don’t have any of the details, yet.
Miles
Well, could you get us some additional data regarding the survey? I’d like to begin developing a line of product specifically tailored for the new target demographic.
Mark
I can ask Cathy or Jack for some more results, but I think it’s still an on-going survey. Any data I get would be preliminary.
Miles
That’s ok. I think the initial assessment will probably hold true. We can probably get to work on designing a new product with the preliminary results.
Mark
Alright, then I’ll get in touch with Cathy after we finish.
