| A Note from Carly; Director of Innovator Relations, Hotspex Inc. |
 |
Dear Innovator,
Welcome to the Hotspex Fall Newsletter. If you have received a Hotspex newsletter before, then you may notice its HOT new design. Hats off to our graphic designers for continuing to keep our newsletter and our surveys fresh, creative, and noticeably innovative. |
|
The design of our newsletter isn't the only thing that's new at Hotspex. You may have also noticed some new additions to our surveys. If you have answered a fun ‘results' question (those which you answer on one screen and then see how other Innovators have responded on the next) or have seen our ‘Indiana Robot' screens which notify you how far along you are in a survey, then you have first handedly seen a few of the new things that we are doing to make Hotspex surveys both fun and engaging. If you haven't taken a survey lately – why not check one out? Make sure Carly@hotspex.com is added to your email safe list to ensure you never miss one of our surveys.
Thank you for taking the time to read our quarterly newsletter. This is our opportunity to share with you what's hot and spexy at Hotspex. Read on to see new products you've innovated, prize winners, Hotspex office events and more!
Keep Innovating!
Carly,
Director of Innovator Relations |

"Nobody Calls Us Chicken": Hotspex Innovators Rise to the Challenge of Naming Burger King's NEW Value Chicken Sandwich
|
Hotspex Innovators have stepped into the roles of sizzling agency execs and have helped Burger King name not one, not two, not even three, but SIX new items on their menu. The result: Burger King has innovative new names for their menu items and Hotspex Innovators have a lot to brag about! The new Hotspex-innovated Chick N' Crisp value menu chicken sandwich (shown above) can be found at a Burger King near you.
Did you participate in a Burger King naming survey? These Innovators did – and the names they submitted were ranked as one of the five best by the other Innovators who took the same survey as them. Their HOT new names earned them each $250 CASH! Congratulations!

Ask and You Shall Receive – Hotspex Removes the 'Zero' Value from the Bonus Wheel
|
 |
Our Innovators asked, and we listened! Although most of you love to spin the Bonus Wheel, you reported that you hate spinning the wheel and landing on the 'zero'. "How can it be a Bonus Wheel if there is no bonus?" Well, that's a very good point! Our response to your feedback is to of course remove the 'zero' and replace it with another value. |
|
Thank you to everyone who commented at the end of surveys recommending we remove the 'zero' from the wheel. We really do listen to what you have to say!

There's No 'I' in TEAM - The Hotspex Staff Goes Dragon Boat
Racing as a Team Building Exercise
|
What do you get when you throw a bunch of hot shot researchers, graphic artists, and Carly into a dragon boat on a hot September afternoon? A boat that doesn't go very fast! On Thursday September 6th about half of the Hotspex staff was treated to an afternoon of food and fun. The purpose: to create an atmosphere where the entire Hotspex staff had to work together as one to complete a task. The Spexy staff learned that no one individual could power the boat, but as a team, and only when each member worked together, could the job be done. After that, it was smooth sailing!
