When it comes to being in-the-know about restaurants, hair salons, mechanics or anything else local, 95 percent of Sydney-siders are out of the loop, according to a survey commissioned by new online community and business review directory, RAYV.
The survey questioned 800 residents across Sydney about their opinions and habits in relation to local businesses, and revealed 95 percent of respondents agree they would like to know more about businesses in their local community.
It also revealed 76 percent of people in Sydney currently waste time travelling outside their local area for services because they don’t know enough about alternative businesses within their local area.
Other key findings from the survey include:
95% of people agreed they would like a central resource to get up-to-date, trusted opinions on any type of business in their local community
85% of people agreed they would like a forum to share their opinions and experiences (good and bad) with other people about the businesses and services in their local area
