*Record Shop Survey* is techno alive?

I want to do a basic survey to get an idea of the current market.
I`ve finally sorted distrib for my labels (there are now 4), and I`m now deciding which if any, go to vinyl, and which stay purely digital, as I want to work out wether to spend money on product (vinyl) or substance (artwork, promotion, artists etc).
The questions should also give us all a bit of a reality check in terms of how strong things are, I am cross posting this in various places.

Basically it`s some questions about record shopping.
If you peeps could answer some short qeustions I would be greatful.
