Plainview Branding Survey

Why did you choose Plainview?

The City of Plainview wants to market the community so that the city keeps growing. We're asking for feedback from citizens to assist a citizen group in developing a "brand."

What is a brand? Put simply, a "brand" refers to the perception customers---or in this case residents--- have about a product or service, or place. Our goal is to create a specific perception in peoples’ minds about the qualities and attributes of the City of Plainview.

For the brand to be accurate, we need know a few things from you. Please answer this short survey.
