no subscription online survey

Finally, surveys without a subscription

The subscription economy has been alive and well for many years now as companies strive to grow a base of monthly subscribers and increase their value.

You can get a subscription for anything from shavers to vegetables to television, and in many cases it makes sense to pay a small fee per month rather than buying individual items.  Netflix and Spotify are wonderful examples where the monthly fee is more cost-effective than buying each show, movie or song individually.

The problem is that sometimes, the thing a company wants you to subscribe to isn’t used enough to gain value from a monthly subscription.  If you are using something once every 4 or 5 months, it starts to make less sense.

This can most certainly be true of online survey platforms.

Whilst most online survey platforms come in the form of a monthly subscription, the reality is that most people only need to run a survey every now and then.  Certainly not monthly, which means the majority of the time your credit card is being charged without any value being received.

Don’t get us started on the complicated subscription options that are usually on offer, which hold many features back unless you pay for the top-tier option.  Frustrating for sure.

Tandem offers Pay-As-You-Survey

If you only do a few surveys a year, Tandem Surveys is the choice for you.  With us, you only need to pay for the surveys you launch.   Data is retained for 90 days, which means you have plenty of time to launch a survey and understand the results.  And if you want to keep the survey results to compare later surveys, you can pay a very small monthly fee to keep the data retained in your account.  Still way more cost effective than a full monthly subscription.

What this means is that you can sign up for an account and evaluate all of the features without having to commit to a subscription.

If you haven’t already, sign up for an account and check Tandem out for yourself.

How to use Tandem Surveys to measure progress

How to use Tandem Surveys to measure progress

Like most Business Leaders, you are probably constantly looking for ways to improve one thing or another to remain competitive.  It might be internal initiatives to improve things for team members.  Or it might be tracking progress with improvements to products and services.

In these scenarios, it is just as important to be able to measure any progress that is being made to understand whether initiatives are having an impact.

For this, you can use Tandem Surveys.  Here’s how to do it.

Create a few simple scale questions

Tandem has a number of question types available, the best one to use for measurement is a scale question.  An example is 1-5, where one is the negative answer and 5 is the positive answer.  ‘How satisfied are you with life at work’?  Extremely Dissatisfied to Extremely Satisfied would be a common scale.

Our suggestion is to create a few simple scale questions, and to also include a text question in order to gain context about the answer.  For example, you might simply ask ‘Why did you give that answer’ and offer a text box for someone to give further information.

Ask, and repeat

After you have received the first set of answers to your questions, you will know your baseline to work from.  The answers to this first survey will be meaningful, but it will be difficult to know how meaningful because there will (usually) be no prior data to work from.

Here is where Tandem becomes super-powerful.  A few months later, you can run exactly the same survey questions and the answers can be quickly compared against each other on the same dashboard.  Tandem comes with this ‘Comparisons’ feature with all paid plans.

Instantly on the dashboard, you can see how much progress has been made.  Over the course of 12 months, you will have an excellent indication about your progress.

It is that simple.

If you need help planning the measurement of progress for your initiatives, we are here to help.  Simply contact our support team to get started.

Using surveys to uncover problems
Blog

Using surveys to uncover problems

The main reason people conduct a survey is to collect important information to make better decisions.   It might be to improve an existing product, or perhaps improve an upcoming experience.  Perhaps to understand the satisfaction of suppliers or how happy employees are.  Perhaps to know what others think about a specific topic.

Whilst many people will use surveys to ask positive questions like ‘how well we are doing’ (e.g. a product or service or employment relationship), it can also be important to collect information about what isn’t working or what they don’t want.  Some people can accidentally think it sounds a bit negative to ask these sorts of questions because it draws attention to negative things.

However, it can be extremely useful to know what people don’t want or don’t enjoy or don’t like.  Often, these problems are the things you most need to know because, once you know them, you are in a position to do something about.

An example is a restaurant.  A customer really enjoyed the food, but didn’t like the music in the background.  Whilst they could have been a repeat customer, the music was a turnoff and so they don’t come back, preferring to go to another place where the food is also good.  I am sure you can think of an example that is relevant to you.

With Tandem Surveys, a great way to discover problems is to ask an open-ended question to ensure you properly understand the full context, and then use our AI Reporting feature to help summarize the text-based answers.  It helps to ensure you don’t need to rely on any assumptions because people are giving you all the information you need.

As always, if you have any questions about surveys and how to get the most from Tandem, simply contact our support team.

When it comes to surveys, context is the key to better insights

When it comes to surveys, context is the key to better insights

One of the major reasons why people conduct surveys online is that it is easier and cheaper than contacting everyone individually and asking them all the same questions.  In an instant, an online survey can be delivered to hundreds and even thousands of people at the same time in exactly the same way.

Whilst this is great, one of the mistakes people often make when doing surveys is forgetting that convenience can be a trap.  Sure, it is easy and convenient for you to create and publish a survey for the world to answer, but if the data isn’t meaningful, and doesn’t lead to a correct insight, you won’t be able to make the best decisions.

At best this is a waste of time.  At worst this leads to making incorrect decisions which create all sorts of other future problems.

That’s why at Tandem we encourage people to use open-ended questions to understand context.  For example, instead of simply asking someone to rate the satisfaction of a product or service on a five point scale, you could ask ‘What was your first impression of our product’ or ‘What didn’t meet your expectations?’, or any relevant question.

But doesn’t this create more work for me?

This is usually the first thing that comes to mind upon the realization that asking open-ended text questions means trawling through lots of text-based answers.  Normally, this is a time-consuming and confusing exercise because everyone has answered the questions in different ways.  What are the common themes?

This is possibly the most important feature of our Premium Plans, the ability to analyse and summarise text-based data into common themes and suggested actions.  Through the power of Artificial Intelligence, it’s like having another team member do it all for you, but completed almost instantly at a fraction of the cost.

So remember to include text-based questions in your surveys and make use of our AI Summary feature in our premium plans.  To learn more about how you can get more from your surveys through text-based questions, simply contact our support team.

Keep your finger on the pulse of your community

Keep your finger on the pulse of your community

Communities play a very important role in all societies, a way to bring people together with common interests and shared experiences. If you are the leader of a community, whether it be a sporting organisation, church or community group, understanding the opinions and concerns of community members is something that is likely on your mind.

If so, Tandem Surveys is created for you. We have made it easy to keep a finger on the pulse of your community by asking a few simple questions on a regular basis. It’s not just about knowing current opinions, but also about understanding how things are changing over time.

Here are a few tips to help you do this in a meaningful way.

Create a reason for giving feedback

Just because you have questions for people, doesn’t mean they will answer them. We have found that an important reason why people will answer surveys is that their answers will be recognized and heard. By providing a clear reason why people should participate, it increases the chances of this actually happening. Tell people how the information will be used, and after each survey make sure you are providing everyone with a short summary of the results and the actions that will come as a result.

Keep questions simple and easy to understand

People simply don’t participate in surveys that are difficult to answer. People simply have better things to do with their time. By making questions clear, easy to understand and easy to answer, you are more likely to have more people participate. At Tandem, we support this by presenting survey questions in a really simple way.

Check in regularly, but not too regularly

None of us like being asked questions too often, but similarly people will give their feedback on a regular basis if they know it is for a good reason. Depending on the type of community organisation you run, and how quickly things change, you might find that you send question to your members every few months. Some are doing this monthly, but you will know if this is too often.

As always, if you have any questions about how to engage with your members and successfully use surveys to keep a finger on the pulse of your community, get in touch with us or book a demo with one of our team.

Think of all survey respondents as ‘customers’

Think of all survey respondents as ‘customers’

One of the common mistakes that people make when conducting surveys is forgetting that people are giving up their time to answer your questions.  Even if you are paying them an incentive to compensate in some small way for their time, the reality is that they are still giving up their time for you and what you want to know from them.

Their responses are often invaluable, but only if they actually respond!

You see, it is easy to think of the people answering your survey as merely ‘respondents’.  When this happens, chances are that the survey being created for ‘respondents’ is going to be all about you and the questions you want to ask.  It is easy to expect that respondents will simply answer any and all questions you send their way.  Afterall, the job of a respondent is to respond, right? 

But this is not really how it works.

The people you want answers from are constantly being offered plenty of other things to occupy their time and attention, and if a survey hasn’t been developed with this in mind, you are highly likely to lose them during the survey, or not even have them start the survey.

There is nothing more deflating than creating a survey and putting it out there to the world, and nobody responds.

Think of respondents as ‘customers’ of your survey

This probably sounds like a simple idea, and it is.  Instead using the term ‘respondents’, think of these people as customers.  Like any customer, you want to delight them, take care of them, and make it all about them.  Simply by doing this, you start to reduce the chances that you will create a survey that nobody wants to respond to.

With this as the starting point, you are in a better position to collect better information and be able to make better decisions.
