East Somerville Main Streets is a non-profit organization, so it won't profit in any financial sense.
ESMS is doing the survey in order to learn more about the neighborhood. This information will be useful for attracting new businesses to East Somerville and helping existing businesses grow. Everyone in Somerville benefits from having more thriving business districts in the city.
Union Square Main Streets has done a few of these surveys and the data they've gathered (all of which is anonymous, by the way) has helped them to do a lot of good work in that neighborhood.
