Now we know that there are many age-old methods of collecting feedback. Many of them used to be face-to-face, people knocking at your doors and asking you to fill out Zoho Survey feedback or sending you wire posts asking you to answer them. It used to be done on paper, or they used to call you up and ask you questions, like, through telephone all these methods, although they are still used. The use is decreasing quite rapidly now and what is coming up more is online surveys I could tell you why. It’s an advantage because it saves time and money, and you can collect relevant feedback.
What happens with a lot of offline paper surveys is collecting the feedback and being able to gather it. A lot of the time, you will need help to push the questions to the relevant person. It comes out as very generic questions because you cannot tailor them according to your respondent’s answers.
For example, in an online survey, you can skip logic based on one answer and show them an entirely different question, but that is not possible in offline surveys anymore; you cannot do that at all. One advantage of online surveys is getting relevant feedback for your service, which helps. You save a lot of time when you’re collecting and reading through the reports; you don’t have to muddle through many unwanted responses.
This helps you make quicker decisions, form opinions and get patterns, identify patterns, and analyze the trends going on with your Zoho Survey.
We have three types of options to build these surveys, right from scratch, to have your own set of questions, or we have templates available pre-built on various categories. You can choose a relevant category based on your requirement and further modify it to your taste. And the third one could be an existing survey, which we have already built in Zoho survey platform. You can utilize the same survey questions for your future service and add questions and pages. Next, we’ll show you how to add questions and pages within the survey, and the next would be to add logic, like how you can add logic and page logic. As far as logic are concerned, as I mentioned earlier, it will be easy to display the relevant questions based on the answer choices. Stick to the point of what you need, and click the feedback once we are done with this. We’ll be looking at how to add the brandings to make it more customizable, as well as navigations and the thank you pages—and sending out the surveys regarding how you can share it. We have different modes to share the survey; we look at one of those, and you can even embed it on your website, and if you wish to click feedback from our panels, yes, it is also possible. We’ll be looking at all these options like offline service as well, and finally, we look at the report, most important, what you get and how you can see the data. We will be able to view that and the reports, and once it’s done, you’ll be able to analyze it further.
