The Pulse reveals the economic losses of our industry in the month of March due to the COVID-19 crisis. Thank you to all members who participated in the industry survey.
During these unprecedented circumstances, Sports ETA wants to make sure we're listening closely to what our members are facing and the resources they need.
With that goal in mind, we have reformatted our Pulse micro-research campaign to reflect the current COVID-19 situation. A new Pulse survey topic will appear each week at the top of the Get in the Game e-newsletter, and on our website. The short survey will be open from Thursday through Monday. Results will be available in the next week's Get in the Game e-newsletter. We care about you, and we are here for you every step of the way.
