VIDEO SURVEYSOVERVIEW: BEST PRACTICES

The following best practices are designed to maximize survey efficacy.

Adhering to these guidelines will help you increase the quality and quantity of your survey responses, which you can then compare against the benchmarked submission metrics.

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: FOCUSFocus on a single main objective to ensure a high response rate with quality answers.

Work backward to write your survey questions. Think about what you are going to do with the answers and how you are going to analyze the survey, then write the questions.

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: FOCUSDepending on your objective, questions can be focused on the following:

Content and goals of the personalized video

Viewer experience

Net Promoter Score / likeliness to recommend brand

Usefulness of the video’s message to the viewer

Free text for feedback or suggestions on how to improve the video and the overall experience

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: LENGTHLimit the survey to five questions or less in order to increase the response rate.

We recommend three questions to maintain a high response rate.

Place the most important questions first as the response rate per question will decline as the viewer moves through the survey.

>>

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: TIMINGPlace the survey toward the end of the video so that you don’t distract viewer attention away from important video content.

We recommend the survey appear about 95% of the way through the video.

>>

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: LOCATIONThe location should be noticeable, but not the main focus of the page.

On webpages and tablets: place the survey underneath or to the side of the player. If placing to the side, keep in mind which direction the viewers’ language is read.

>>

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: LOCATION

On smartphones: Due to limited screen size, the survey should be placed on the landing page, below both the video player and CTA buttons.

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: LOCATIONSubmission rate by location

Both placement locations yield similar submission rates, so also consider design and configuration factors before deciding where to place the survey.

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: QUESTIONSKeep your questions brief and use words that are direct and familiar to the respondents. Do not use jargon, acronyms or technical concepts.

Prioritize closed-ended questions that can be answered with a yes or no, multiple choice options or a rating scale. Include one open-ended question for viewers to provide additional feedback.

NO

YES

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: QUESTIONSAvoid leading questions so you don’t bias respondents toward positive responses by inserting your opinion into the question.

Avoid double negatives or double-barreled questions. Ask one question at a time and use simple sentences.

To maintain brand consistency, use the same customer satisfaction questions or style of questions as you do on other channels to make easy, apples-to-apples comparisons.

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: ANSWERSKeep the answer scale consistent throughout the survey and use an odd number to make data analysis easier.

We recommend using a five-answer scale to adequately capture the high and low ends of the scale.

Make sure the response options are mutually exclusive and don’t overlap.

Provide an option for additional feedback so viewers can write about other important information they’d like to provide.

VIDEO SURVEYSBEST PRACTICE: CTAsInclude calls-to-action and a survey. Each personalized video is an opportunity to influence consumer behaviors and actions with CTAs, while also capturing a reading of customer satisfaction with a survey.

We’ve found including a survey does not impact the call-to-action take rate.
