Halloween is right around the corner but you don\u2019t need to cast a magic spell over your survey to guarantee its success! With Sogolytics, we\u2019ve perfected a secret potion that will make your next survey <\/span>boo<\/span><\/i>-tiful.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Here are three ways surveys are just like Halloween:<\/p>\n

1. Preparation<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

With spending expected to top <\/span>$9 billion<\/span><\/a> this year, it\u2019s apparent that a lot of preparation goes into Halloween festivities. You have to pick the perfect costume and decide which type of candy you\u2019re handing out, maybe you\u2019ll decorate or even have a party. It\u2019s a lot of work, but with a little hocus pocus you can pull off a fun and successful season.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Similarly, surveys also require organization and careful planning. When you use our platform to create surveys, you\u2019ll have everything you need, including a wide selection of question types, advanced options for customization, and numerous settings choices to ensure everything works exactly the way you want. The design tab is the closest thing to waving a magic wand over your survey! <\/span>Watch how easy<\/span><\/a> it is to create your first online survey.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2. Participation<\/b><\/p>\n

Launching a survey can feel just as scary as stepping out in your costume to go trick-or-treating. You\u2019re wondering <\/span>Will people like my costume? Will they know what I\u2019m supposed to be?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s very similar to thinking <\/span>Will my survey be a success? Will people respond?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Technology alone does not make a better survey, but you can definitely use advanced features to your advantage. For example, some participants get nervous answering questions or providing sensitive information, so keep participants\u2019 experience and perceptions in mind when designing your survey. You could ease some of those concerns by <\/span>making your survey anonymous<\/span><\/a>. Allowing participants to answer anonymously is like giving them a Halloween mask to slip on and protect their identity.

3. Reporting<\/b><\/p>\n

Survey response data is like your bag of candy at the end of the night – but is it full of tricks or treats? When you were running door to door and your bag was filling up, you might have had a sense of what you were collecting, but wasn\u2019t until you got home and poured out your collection that you fully knew what you had. The same is true for surveys. You launch your survey and responses start to come back. Maybe you\u2019re spot checking some data as it comes in, but it\u2019s not until the survey is done and you run your reports that you will see the full results.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The same platform that you used to create and distribute your survey can run the reports you need, too. With Sogolytics, beautifully crafted <\/span>reports<\/span><\/a> are the equivalent to the bag of candy at the end of the night. It\u2019s what you\u2019ve worked for so hard \u2013 and now it\u2019s time to enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
