Doing my research project/dissertation on sports supplement + social networks!

Hey guys

I'm in third year doing my research project, which is like a dissertation but less words but you have to apply it to a marketing theory.

My title is :


"Investigate the role of social networks in consumer information search in the sports supplement industry"

I have to devise an interview plan with the aim to find out about how consumers use social networks to find out information about sports supplements. I know alot of people use reviews etc, but I think social networks add a more personal touch to finding out information with regards sports supplements.

Here's what I have so far. Could anyone who purchases sports supplements and uses social networks to find out information give me any pointers to other questions to ask in interviews? Some are choice questions to give prompts, and some are open questions

Thanks very much! :smile:
