Why isn't my survey getting more responses?
Response rates to surveys can be quite low - often in single digit percentages. Here are some tips to improve the response rate to your survey:
- Keep your survey short with no more than 2-3 questions. The more questions you add, the fewer responses you'll receive.
- Maximize the number of visitors that see your survey by setting a low delay (have the survey appear no longer than 10 seconds after page load) and ensuring it appears on as many pages as possible.
- When styling your survey, choose colors that are highly visible and have good contrast. A light background with light text will be difficult to read and easy to ignore.
- Make your questions interesting and attention-grabbing. A dull question might not elicit many responses, but one that's humorous or surprising will have a better chance.
