The Matrix – Not just a Hollywood Trilogy

The “Matrix” question type is a multi-dimensional version of “multiple choice” or “scale” type questions. It is presented as a table and the respondent must give an answer per line. In this post we’ll go over the positives and negatives of using this question type to further help you optimize your surveys.

Too many questions on a page = bye-bye respondents

Any questionnaire you publish is a manifestation of your image. For this reason it is imperative to optimize the flow of your surveys and make them as dynamic as possible for your respondents.

Online surveys are a great way of gathering information, but they can also be a powerful marketing tool that can work for (if you get it right) or against you (if you get it wrong).

Multiple Choice Versus Checkbox Questions – Yes, there REALLY is a difference!

Okay, so I see a lot of questionnaires. I create quite a few myself, I see/take them online, and I see some that people send to me because they have a question.
For some of you the subject of this post will be self-evident, for others perhaps the difference between a multiple choice question and a checkbox question doesn’t seem too clear…

What to do and NOT to do when creating your surveys

You’ve decided to start creating your own surveys, and you’re excited to get them out there! Well in this series we’re going to go over some of the basic dos and don’ts of creating a survey.

You want your questionnaire to be great and to get lots of respondents, so do we. So here’s what we’ll be going over during the next few weeks:

Our Pre-population feature is up and running. This is an exciting new feature that will allow you to magnify the power of your survey campaigns by supplementing collected data with a pre-population of your surveys.

Okay, so it’s in French, but the point is that WeLoveSaaS co-founder Clément Vouillon (who sees tons of SaaS applications every day!) wrote a really favorable article about our application. He called Eval&GO the Rolls Royce of online survey software. Needless to say we’re flattered.

Knowing that many of you speak English I’ve translated the article and included it here! So enjoy and contact us if you know of another article we should cover as well :)

TO SURVEY, OR NOT TO SURVEY? EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS ASIDE… HERE’S HOW TO CREATE A QUESTIONNAIRE:

You’ve heard that creating surveys can be a useful method for gathering feedback. You are motivated and ready to go. Great! But, wait… how to get started? Well, this article is hopefully going to shed some light on the issue.

USING BRANCHING QUESTIONS IN YOUR SURVEYS OR QUESTIONNAIRES

When creating a survey or questionnaire it can sometimes be helpful to include branching questions. Branching questions are used to direct respondents to different places in the questionnaire based on their response to the question at hand. For example, if a question asks “Did you buy a new house within the last five years?” and the person answers “yes” then they should be directed to a series of questions detailing their purchase (date of purchase, price paid, whether they purchased using a mortgage, etcetera); if the person answers “no” then they would continue the survey without adding details about a house they did not buy.

WE ARE EVAL & GO. AND THIS… IS OUR BLOG.

We have noticed some recurring themes and questions concerning surveys and all things surrounding them. To that effect, this blog was inspired by questions we hear from our clients and people like yourself, curious about how to get the most out of your survey experience. Online surveys aren’t new. Online survey creators have been around for a while, giving you a way to choose some questions, send them out, and hopefully get some answers. What is new is the ever-increasing need for people and businesses to use them. We all want to know what our clients, readers, workforce, etcetera are thinking. The purpose of surveys isn’t about getting data back, creating a shiny percentage table and a corresponding pretty pie chart, followed by a mostly useless accompanying paragraph… this isn’t an elementary school science fair. The purpose of surveys is getting to know your target market, making intelligent useful analysis, and making money. And increasingly, people are choosing to do it themselves. When this is the case, online survey software is the way to go.
