Surveys attempting to generalize a population often suffer from a lack of data. With abysmal response rates for optional surveys, its hard to distinguish if participants truly represent the ideals of the larger group, or if they are just a vocal minority. Luckily, research has repeatedly shown how post-paid incentives can increase user response rates.
With a small token of gratitude, such as a $5.00 Amazon gift card, survey responsiveness can be boosted 36% as shown in a paper published in the Social Science Computer Review. Cash incentives are also effective, but the time involved with keeping a mailing list as well as organizing and sending every respondent mail can be complicated, as well as requiring significant time from your employees.
As much as input is appreciated and necessary, not every company or organization has the capital to spend too much rewarding their clients. In fact, two dollar incentives showed little increase in responsiveness over five dollar incentives.
However incentives should not only be cost effective, but simple. txtMovies provides an easy and affordable alternative to cash incentives.
