It may look like spam, but it could be a 3DBOXX 3960XTREME

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

Following is a repost from Technical Alerts & News. (Hope for the 3DBOXX 3960XTREME or the pass to SolidWorks World. An iPad? Why punish those for responding?)

DS SolidWorks has again commissioned an independent marketing firm to conduct our annual Customer Satisfaction Survey. As a result, you may receive an email from surveys@netreflector.com inviting you to participate.

This is a legitimate invitation and is not spam. We encourage you to take the opportunity to participate in the survey. It is expected to take just 10 to 15 minutes and we look forward to your feedback. As a valued customer your opinions and experiences are extremely important and help DS SolidWorks continue to improve your productivity and efficiencies utilizing the SolidWorks software suite.

Participants who complete the survey may be eligible to win a 3DBOXX 3960XTREME workstation, one of five Apple iPads, or one of ten passes to SolidWorks World 2012 in San Diego, CA. You will not be contacted as a result of this survey for any sales purposes.
