Share What's Trending in the Spring 2025 Taking Stock with Teens Survey

Feb 10, 2025

The Survey Ends March 24

The 2025 Spring Piper Sandler Taking Stock With Teens Survey is available for use in your classroom! Each spring and fall, Piper Sandler and DECA collaborate to conduct the bi-annual “Taking Stock With Teens” survey, which gauges brand preferences and spending habits among teenagers.

DECA members are the principal source for Piper’s survey, so it’s important that all DECA members participate and share their opinions. It is also a great way for teachers and DECA advisors to engage their students in an independent applied learning activity that illustrates the importance of marketing research.

The survey begins on February 10, 2025, and closes on March 24, 2025. Please help support this important partnership by incorporating this valuable survey into your classroom teaching.
