Episode 6: How Do I Get People to Take My Survey? Fun with Research!

People really do participate in surveys! Sometimes it's hard for us to believe, but many people enjoy being asked for their input, and the incentives can also be a draw. Here are a few things to think about when ensuring that your survey is user-friendly and designed to get your target respondents to participate.

I'm an Asian, I worked in a BPO and my account is doing surveys, but americans really hate my accent 😢

[@reginmendez7630]

me too and sometimes it makes me lazy to work from time to time

i hope that youre doing better

Doing live or phone surveys is very different than doing them online, that's for sure. Sorry I can't do anything about people who give you a rough time for your accent.

I actually passed out a health and wellness survey at my daycare in order to collect data on what people enjoy to eat so that my company can recreate their favorite foods using Plant based ingredients. However I don't currently have a huge audience and I don't have a website yet...but I do have social medium platforms how do I get people to take it?

I'm sorry I didn't see your content earlier. I hope you've gotten an answer, but if not -- the best ways to get someone to answer a survey are: 1) Have the invitation delivered by someone they know (a person, an organization, etc.); 2) Make their response anonymous; 3) Tell them how long the survey will take to complete, and BE HONEST; 4) Tell them why completing it will help them, or help someone else; 4) Thank them for their time by offering a relevant incentive - either as a direct reward per respondent, a sweepstakes drawing for a more significant prize, or a $1 donation to their choice of two charities that will be relevant to them. I hope that helps! And thanks for your question!
