How Do You Conduct A Qual Survey?

  1. Find a suitable tool e.g. Google Forms (free and very flexible).
  2. Build a text based questionnaire / form.
  3. Test your test (e.g. gather feedback from colleagues to find any blind spots in your questions).
  4. Revise your questionnaire / form content based on the feedback.
  5. Recruit quality respondents and send.
  1. Adding visual inputs engages your respondents and increases response rates — too much text is overwhelming and creates survey fatigue.
  2. Build questions using a combination of likert scale and open ended question types — the perfect balance of ‘what’ and ‘why’.
  3. You can choose your audience — our platform connects you to over 110 million people so that you can specify the ideal participants.
  4. Each participant answers each question by annotating the visual stimulus. This UX makes it easy to for them to comment and easy for you to understand (low cognitive overhead).
  5. You capture 1000s of comments from respondents on your research stimulus (qualitative data) and use natural language understanding to translate it all into easy to understand stats (quantitative data).
  6. Measure the ‘what’ (numerical data) against the ‘why’ (open-ended data) with direct-from-audience feedback.
