How To Get More People To Respond To Your Blog Post

By Yussef Smith


When it comes to conducting a survey on the Internet, you don't just randomly create a survey and send it to people. You need to make the survey interesting and relevant to your audience. In this article, we're going to outline some practical tips to increase the response rate to your surveys.



The first thing you need to ensure that you have a relationship with your respondents first. Capture their email addresses and send them valuable emails BEFORE asking them to fill up your survey. If your audience knows you, there's a great chance you will have a better response rate. Before sending the email that contains the link to your survey, tell your subscribers beforehand that you're going to send a survey.

Another approach can be incentives. You might want to hose give-away's on your webpage, so that you can increase traffic. This will keep making the audience come back to your website as well to see who the winner is. Plus it attracts them, since they get free things. The prizes you choose don't have to be huge like an iPhone or anything. But you can have small give-away's that would simply attract your target market.

Lastly, another method you can use is to make your webpage exciting. Do not make your site dull and boring, this will make people not want to return. Choose images that represent the target you are trying to attract.

Most surveys suffer from low response rates but you can remedy this by also giving your respondents a good reason to share their time with you. Offer them a discount to your product or service. If this is your first time to send a survey, experiment with different survey formats and strategies until you get a winning formula. Don't give up until you have at least 70% of the people you invite taking your survey.
