Want to make the most of your Hosted in Canada survey? Follow these useful tips...

7. Question Types
Make questions easy to follow and understand. Have only one question at a time rather than combining a set of questions as this may confuse the respondent and not provide a response. Minimise the use of open-ended questions and try to keep all questions precise. Don't use leading questions as they will influence the respondent's answer, and most of all ensure questions always relate back to your defined objectives.

8. Logic
Keep questions in a logic order so that they have a natural flow. Start with the important questions relating directly to your objectives and what you want to gain from the survey, keeping demographic questions until near the end of the survey.

9. Incentives
Incentives are an excellent way to influence the respondent to complete a questionnaire or survey. They feel there is a reward at the end and this motivates them to respond. An incentive can be something small such as free subscriptions or can be something as big as prize draws etc. depending on your organisation and the nature of the survey.

10. Acknowledgements
It is very important to always give acknowledgement to the respondents for taking time out of their routine to complete your survey. Giving a note of appreciation at the start of the survey, and again at the end by thanking them for their participation can achieve this.
