9 Things You Need to Do to Make Your Survey Crush!
Don't invest all your time creating a survey only to have no one respond. Research shows low response rates are a serious issue for online surveys. We've reviewed the research and lean on our 10 year+ experience to help ensure your survey is a success. We've also set our default options to cover the basics so no need to optimize a survey when it's built on our platform.
Keep it Short
A study of 25,080 web surveys found a direct relationship between survey length and response rates. Keep your questions short, concise and aim for your survey to take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. Use survey logic to avoid asking unnecessary questions. Ask yourself what you intend to do with the information an answer provides. The aim of a question is to help you make more informed decisions not collect information.
Multiple Choice & Checkboxes
The same 2017 study of 25,080 web surveys found higher response rates to multiple choice questions over open ended and other types, particularly for the first question. Avoid matrix questions as they're essentially multiple questions in one.
1 Question at a Time
Showing only a single question at a time minimizes the perceived immediate effort of completing your survey. We've seen 20%+ increases in response rates by changing this single setting.
No Progress Bars
The first thing a respondent will do when loading your survey is quickly scan how long it will take to complete. If you've followed the steps above and you don't display a progress bar respondents are far more likely to simply begin responding. Your goal in survey design is to make it as easy as possible for respondents to answer the questions you're asking.
Personalize and Pre-contact
Personalize your survey invitations and write to the vested interest of your participants. If possible, contact your participant in person to let them know you're sending an email for a serious improvement in response rates. People are more likely to respond to an email from organizations they belong to and people they know.
Tell them Why
"A well-known principle of human behavior says that when we ask someone to do us a favor we will be more successful if we provide a reason." Professor Robert Cialdini
Provide your respondents with a strong reason for taking your survey in your invitation. Let them know what you intend to do with their feedback.
Conduct Experiments
Providing you have a large enough base of potential participants test out different email titles, survey lengths and question design before going live to your entire distribution list. Our experience has shown that short titles like 'How did we do?' perform significantly better than longer less personal titles like 'Customer Satisfaction Survey'. Progress bars also lowered response rates. Your goal in survey design is to make it as easy as possible for respondents to answer the questions you're asking.
Update Contacts and Send Reminders
Reminders significantly improve survey response rates. No more than 3 reminders, sent around a week apart appear optimal. According to Yesware's analysis of 500,000 emails the best time of day to send your email is around 6am. If possible consider following up with other mediums like phone and social media.
Let them Respond via Phone
We've optimized our platform for mobile simply because its the device most people use to browse the web. If someone can complete your survey smoothly on a mobile in a few minutes you're very well prepared.
Incentives Work
Incentives do increase response rates to surveys but there are a few simple guidelines. An incentive provided immediately upon completion will yield the greatest impact and a $5 reward works significantly better than a $1 reward so be generous. Our survey maker allow you to add custom thank you messages which can be used to provide various types of incentives like coupons and prizes.
Connect to 1000+ Business Apps
Under the settings tab of the editor you'll find an 'Integrate' tab. From here you can easily integrate your survey data into more than 1000 business applications via Zapier. You might simply want to be notified by email each time someone completes your survey or you may want to identify when participants respond with certain answers to identify important business priorities.
