Surveys

Copyright 2015 © InfoDesk. All rights reserved | www.infodesk.com

Some general guidelines to consider about user surveys:   • Surveys should be short with no more than five to seven questions. Use

multiple surveys if needed. • Surveys should be automated for easier distribution and tallying. • Since respondents are self-selecting, survey results cannot be considered

statistically valid. They do provide anecdotal evidence that can be helpful in decision-making.

• Use a combination of multiple choice or sliding scale questions. • Avoid neutral responses, force respondents to choose either one

direction or the other (e.g., users are either “somewhat satisfied” or “somewhat dissatisfied” but not neutral—neutral means nothing).

• Avoid open-ended questions (most respondents won’t answer them).

Execution and Evaluation

Execution and timing are important. Companies are encouraged to assign a point person responsible for sending emails and other promotions, including reaching out to other departments and making sure they follow through on their commitments.

Measuring Success

Copyright 2015 © InfoDesk. All rights reserved | www.infodesk.com

It is important to monitor the success of each effort. In most cases people respond to emails within 24 hours and often within a couple hours. Monitoring responses can be as simple counting the number of registrants after each effort, noting which were effective and which were less so.   While it’s important to use as many channels as possible, not all will have the same efficacy. Direct emails will likely have the highest response rates and posters may have the lowest. That said, the net effect of a multi-pronged approach should be greater than any single-channel approach.

Increase usage & save money • Increase the number of research projects by 100-300% and reduce the

time and cost of those efforts by estimated 75% or more. • 250 users @ avg. hourly rate of $68 • 30 hours per month (x12) = 7,500 x 12 = 90,000 hours • 90,000 x $68 = $6,120,000 • Savings: $1.5 - $4.5 mil.   Increase productivity & improve accuracy • It is hard to quantify the value of increased research productivity and

improved accuracy of results, but we can measure the increased usage of existing databases.

• For example: If database X costs $100k per year and was searched 10,000 times in 2014 at cost of $10 per search. If we increase usage by 100-300% in 2015 it will decrease the cost per search to as low as $1.25 per search.
