Why a Survey is your Road to Success
by John Saya
The Internet has revolutionized survey taking. While there are many methods of conducting surveys, traditional methods such as calling people at their home during dinner, or standing in a mall asking people for their opinions as they pass by, prove less productive.
Telephone surveys have dropped significantly over the last few years due to telemarketing. People just don't want to be bothered any longer. However, a telephone survey you can ask "Is there anything else you'd like to say?". Not all web surveys provide extended functionality such as that.
The advantages of running a survey from the Web include easy distribution, reduced data entry errors, and reduced costs.
