Introduction to Our Web Surveys
Online web survey is commonly referred to as online surveys or internet surveys which is one of the most renowned data collection processes in quantitative research. It is one of the most cost-effective and flexible research methods in which a set of survey questions are conveyed to the target sample through multiple mediums like email, social media platforms, and other websites.
The targeted sample responds to those questions via the World Wide Web. The targeted sample we use at Inventive Research group are B2B professionals who are experts in the field. To get the maximum response rate through online surveys, our expert network makes efforts to keep the survey length to 15 minutes or even less. Sometimes, in certain cases, the survey can take up to 30 minutes to get done.
The open-ended questions asked can be kept up to no more than three. Factors that help keep the response rate of professionals high include age, region, occupation, expertise, etc. A key feature that we offer our market research client is manual validation of our network of recruited B2B professionals based on identity, geographic location, and expertise.
We program online surveys for our market research clients by providing direct access to our survey experts so that feedback can be incorporated instantly. Businesses use this method to gain in-depth insights and feedback about their upcoming projects, marketing strategies, products or services, enhancement of existing features, opinions regarding the company, and so forth.
