Gathering customer feedback is essential to any business, and there are several reasons why sending an in-email survey is the best way to collect actionable insights on your products and services.
Conducting surveys via email can be achieved in just a few clicks and is much faster than face-to-face data collection methods. Why? Because most email users log into their accounts daily. In fact, over 44% check their inbox between 1 and 3 times a day. The time between a recipient seeing your survey invitation email, and then responding, is minimal.
It’s easier to send a short survey in email than using other old-school popular types of collection like sending forms or a survey by mail. No specialized email survey software or coding knowledge is required to get your survey content to your audience in seconds. Use that same simplicity in a multichannel approach with website surveys, link surveys, and more.
A great advantage of sending a survey email is that you can reach multiple recipients simultaneously. After you create and save your email questions in a simple in-app experience, you will build and upload a list of selected recipients and their email addresses directly within the platform. After you hit the send button, respondents can enter their response text directly in the email for instant data capture.
Email survey results can be viewed in a real-time dashboard and analyzed with a handful of easy-to-read reporting options. Advanced AI can spot and unveil common trends that will allow management to take action on insights quicker than before, or you can create and select Filters and Trends on your own to narrow your focus on data related to specific products and services.
There is little point in collecting data at all if it has limited actionability. That’s why it’s essential for data to be reliable and effective. Creating a feedback survey email guarantees this in several ways.
When you email customer surveys, you allow customers the flexibility to read and respond to the email questions in their own time, making answers more accurate as they have time to consider their responses rather than being pressed for an on-the-spot reply.
Marketing automation tools keep your experience program on track. Integrations are easy to set up and combine with common tools you use every day like Salesforce, Mailchimp, and Shopify. Trigger email questionnaires, sync Net Promoter Score survey data, and more.
When you put email feedback at the center of your business and data collection strategy, it’s important to create a personalized sending experience. Customize the email subject lines with the customer’s name to capture the respondent’s attention off the bat. Take a look at our Help Center with written and video content for step-by-step customization tips.
