A Brief Guide to Surveying Your Audience

Tips and tools for getting advice from people who mean the most to your brand

Surveys and polls can be very telling. These direct comments from your audience can tell what they like and what they don’t like, while offering tips on creating better experiences.

When conducting surveys, remember to keep your research objectives in mind. This will help keep your questions focused on the end result.

The scope of your survey should dictate how you ask the questions. For instance, if you are expecting thousands of respondents, and you don’t have a lot of time or resources to dedicate to interpreting the data, providing close-ended questions may be the easiest method. However, using open-ended questions can lead to valuable qualitative answers.
