ePOWER TIP: (full story)
A Whole New (And Free!) Way To Create Powerful
Online Surveys ...
Online surveys are a
powerful way to interact with your clients and
prospects in addition to learning a great deal
about what is important to them. Creating and
managing them (at no cost) can be a snap if you
know the right service to use!
As you know, ePOWER! News conducts a monthly Mr.
Internet Survey which has proved to be quite
popular with the subscribers. It also provides
valuable insight to the issues of doing business
online successfully. Up until recently we were
using Zoomerang.com to handle these surveys. While
this service did a reasonable job, it suddenly
became prohibitively expensive when they
significantly raised their service fees in June
2001. This turned out to be the best thing to
happen for our surveys!
Here's why. In looking for an
alternative service we were fortunate enough to
discover
SurveyMonkey, and despite its name, it is
anything but monkey business! Here are some
of the benefits we (including you as a subscriber)
are enjoying because of this innovative service:
-
Much Faster - the
surveys load much faster than Zoomerang (an
issue I heard about from time to time);
-
More Accurate Results
- respondents can only take the survey once from
the same machine. Also, responses to some
questions can be made mandatory;
-
Higher Value Reports
- through it's filtering mechanism you can
quickly zero-in on how respondents felt about
certain issues relative to how they answered
other questions;
-
More Interactive -
you can automatically create popup windows that
encourage your site visitors to take your
survey. And, these windows will only popup once
which means you don't end up annoying anyone;
-
It's Free! - the
free version is almost as fully featured as the
professional one (which I use and is also very
reasonable).
There is quite a bit more,
but you get the idea. Check out our current survey
and its live results via the links on the right
side of this page to see an example of this super
service.
Here's your challenge:
explore this powerful interactive tool and
incorporate it now into your e-mail and Web
marketing strategies. In doing so you set yourself
apart from your competition and bring your online
clients and prospects closer to you! |
