Survey Builder

I read an interesting article posted on Research's website. The over all article talked about the quality of online research and survey samples. However, the part I found most interesting was at the very end. People always assume there's a problem with the quality of survey respondents and survey samples, but really it should be around the quality of the online web survey itself.

People want to believe the issue of low response rates or problems with survey respondents completing the survey have to do with the actual sample. But what if it's a matter of miscommunication from the survey writer translating questions into the survey design then reaching the survey respondent who reads and interprets the survey questions and responses.

Navigating through market research and survey best practices can make you feel like you're lost in a maze, so I can see why market researchers and those creating surveys using survey development software would prefer to place the blame on their survey sample, but ultimately they're prolonging the problem.

So the question becomes: What are you doing to prevent a miscommunication as a result of your online survey? One answer that should be pretty obvious is to select a web based survey company who offers question-response survey consultations.
