Here’s How to Get the Best Results for Your Showit Survey
Now that your survey is up and running, follow our tips below to get the most out of it:
📝Keep it Engaging
A great survey isn’t just about the questions you ask – it’s about how you ask them. Using a mix of question types, adding visuals, and keeping it concise can make the experience more engaging, reduce respondent fatigue, and lead to higher response rates.
Speaking of respondent fatigue, let’s look at ways to keep people engaged and encourage them to complete your survey. Even the best surveys can lose responses if they feel too long, repetitive, or unexciting.
- Incorporate different question types – Try using video questions to add context and image answer options to help clarify choices. If you need deeper insights, include open-ended questions, but use them sparingly to avoid overwhelming respondents.
- Keep it short and focused – Stick to 5-10 essential questions to make the survey feel quick and easy.
- Personalize your survey – Use skip logic to display questions that align with each respondent’s answers, avoiding irrelevant or unnecessary ones and making the experience feel personalized.
- Enable the progress bar – Let respondents see how far along they are to keep them motivated and reduce drop-off.
The more engaging your survey is, the more valuable responses you’ll get! Experiment and test different formats to keep it interactive and user-friendly.
📣Share the Survey Where it Counts
More responses mean better insights. Spread the word by:
- Adding a popup or banner on your site
- Promoting it in your email newsletter or on social media
- Placing a QR code on product packaging or including the survey link in order confirmation emails
🎁Reward & Follow Up
If you’re offering an incentive (like a discount or freebie), include a link at the end of the survey or send it in a follow-up email. You can also follow up later to thank respondents and send them exclusive offers, product updates, or helpful content related to their interests.
🎯Turn Responses Into Actionable Insights
You can check responses in real-time by going to your analytics dashboard. Here you can track trends, patterns, and drop-off points. See which questions engage users the most and refine your survey based on these insights. Use this data to improve your products, services, and customer experience.
