Research Design
  • Methodology:
    • Direct mail survey: 3,000 postcards were sent by mail to Life Alert customers, in order to get a minimum of 800 replies.
      • 1,500 postcards sent to New customers
      • 1,500 postcards sent to Old customers
    • The sample was selected randomly from the Life Alert customer database, in order to ensure representativeness of each group of customers.


  • Sample size:
    • We received 1026 replies with the following composition:
      • 484 New customers (+/- 4.4% of marginal error at the 95% confidence level)
      • 542 Old customers (+/- 4.1% of marginal error at the 95% confidence level)


    • Due to the structure of the Life Alert’s customers (78% are new customers and 22% are old customers), the data has been weighted in order to replicate this structure in the survey results.


  • Fieldwork was conducted nationwide, from August 26th to September 27th, 2004
