Simply enter your questions (or send them to us and
we'll do it for you), and provide your target respondents with the login
name and password you assign, and leave the data gathering to the power of
the internet.
You can reach your target audience in any way that is
convenient to you, including e-mail, or newsletters, because all you need
to send out is a login name and password. Your respondents can then
complete your questionnaire quickly and easily in the privacy of their own
homes or office, without having to mail or fax paper copies. And the
integrity of your data is protected from surfers.
Or, to reach a wider audience, add a link to your
questionnaire on your own (or your client's) web-site.
Where paper forms are a requirement, Questionnaires
Online can print out your questionnaire, ready for duplication and
distribution. For responses returned to you on paper, use our data-entry
mode to easily manage bulk data-entry.
Why Questionnaires Online?
"But
SurveyMonkey
is cheaper," you say, "and has prettier screens as well. Why would I use
Questionnaires Online?"
Well, you are right
on both counts, that service can be very inexpensive and offers a slick
presentation, one that we are constantly trying to emulate in our own
offering. Their business is in offering low-cost 100% do-it-yourself
survey design and analysis and they can keep their charges low by offering
no support for questionnaire design and only basic analysis. This is not a
criticism of their service; they do a fine job for projects where you are
an expert in constructing good questionnaires and either need nothing more
than frequencies and percentages in your analysis or are
statistically-inclined enough to want to download the data and do the
analysis yourself.
Our difference is in three areas:
the assistance we can provide in the
design of your questionnaire, to
help ensure that you get results you can use,
the power of the
analytical tools we offer, to assist you in getting everything out
of the responses you gather,
the emphasis in design that supports you as a
consultant offering your
services to others.
There is a body of expertise and knowledge
that supports good questionnaire design and if this isn't your field, you
may be wasting more than you save by doing it yourself. With years of
experience in designing and administering questionnaires for our clients
in both business and non-profit sectors, we can provide expert assistance
and advice in designing your questionnaire, to ensure you get the best
possible results.
We can help by working with you to get the best wording
for your questions, the appropriate order to present them in, and the
response format that will get you the results you need for effective and
meaningful analysis.
We will explore your needs and purposes for doing the
survey, to ensure that your questions address your needs and that the
responses will be useful. Based on our experience with other clients, we
can suggest other lines of questioning that you might want to include in
your survey. And we can point out the pitfalls, if any, that can later
make analysis difficult or impossible.
A major strength of Questionnaires
Online is in the range of analysis tools we offer: frequencies,
percentages, averages (means), standard deviations, cross-tabs, graphing,
content analysis--all this and more is available for you to use, on-line,
with or without our assistance. Our Progress Report, showing a summary of
the responses received so far, is the equivalent of SurveyMonkey's final
report and for us, it's just the start.
And if
this still isn't enough, you always have the ability to download your data
to perform custom analysis any way you want. But if you tell us what you
are doing with it, we'll probably want to add that to the services we
offer so that next time, it'll be even easier.
When it comes time to make sense of what it all means,
we can do it for you, work with you, or offer guidance so you can do it
yourself. The choice is always yours.
Questionnaires Online
is explicitly designed to support your work as a consultant, offering the
ability to easily manage the questionnaires and mailing lists of several
of your clients without mixing them up, and without compromising
confidentiality. No client can see the work you are doing for any other
client.
Your clients can have multiple
questionnaires, each with access accorded to different contact persons;
your clients can have multiple mailing lists, all of which can be used to
send out invitations for any of their questionnaires.
Your client have a customized look for all or each of
their questionnaires. Your questionnaires can show your logo and name or
your client's.
Questionnaires Online
can handle questionnaires in either English or French or both at the same
time (after all, we are a Canadian company). Questionnaires in both
languages are treated as a single questionnaire with the ability to
analyze the combined results, but your respondents see the questionnaire
only in the language of their choice.
And, of
course, we offer translation services.
Confidentiality
We assure you, your clients and your
respondents that we never use any data gathered on your behalf for any
other purpose, nor is it revealed to any other party.
