Coming Soon: the 2026 Pole Industry Financial Survey!

The Pole Industry Financial Survey (PIFS) returns in 2026!

The goal of this survey is to collect, analyze, and publish (for FREE on www.poleassociation.org) anonymous, aggregated financial data about the pole industry.

The data from this survey will help all of us make better financial decisions for our pole businesses including things like negotiating better contracts, applying for loans/grants, asking for a raise, helping new pole businesses understand the market BEFORE they start, and more!

The survey will be launched January 19, 2026, and will be open until March 19, 2026.

This is the third time the survey has been run. Last year we were able to compare and start to see trends from the previous survey. This year we’ll have even more data and an even clearer picture of the financial status of the pole industry.

Results from the 2024 survey.

Results from the 2022 survey.

The survey is for all people who make a living or part of their living in the pole industry should respond. This survey is NOT for hobbyists. Don’t make money doing pole? Please skip this survey.

Completing this survey helps us to protect and positively impact the business interests of the entire pole business community.

Thank you for making a difference!
