How to Send a Survey

One of the major decisions a survey owner faces is the choice of invitation tools. You must first thoroughly understand your survey audience. Will they be more likely to respond via an email, embedded website, or a link through a social media site like Facebook or Twitter? Such a decision obviously impacts, positively or negatively, your final response rates.

What is a Survey Collector

A survey collector is a method of collecting survey responses that involves distributing the survey through a specific channel, such as email or a web link, to a group of respondents. Usually, it can be customized with various options to better cater to the target respondents' needs. SurveyOL provides an omnichannel approach to distribute your survey to its participants. The available collector types are Web Link Collector, Website Embedded Collector, Email Collector, and SMS Collector.
