Why create an online survey?
It’s 2015. Consider how far humanity has come from a technological perspective. Now think about how little the business as a whole has changed. The restaurant business is the same as always.
People sit, people eat and drink, people pay for their food. As the owner, you are providing a dining experience. But what if you could change the game? What if you had the opportunity to revolutionize your business?
Well, you can, but the only way to find out what to shake up is to talk to your customers. It is impossible to ask each person individually if they are a major corporation, but even the largest companies struggle with the task of customizing their services.
Creating an online service is a way to take advantage of the wonders of modern technology while enhancing the sense of depersonalization that is too often found in modern businesses.
How to create an online survey
It’s easy to create a survey online. All it takes is a smart team of engineers and coders, and a smart business person.
Hiring a team depends on how you choose to do it. You can use someone you trust, or you can go out and hire a freelancer.
Instead of coding it yourself, all you’re doing is writing what you want the engineers and coders to create. The best way to do it is to make it cheap. Surveys don’t have to be very sophisticated; we are just trying to figure out what our customers want.
Pay your team to do the work, but always go for the cheapest option. You don’t want to go broke with a simple survey.
Review of survey comments
Unfortunately, with the advent of technology, we have seen an increase in anonymity. Anonymity is great because it encourages people to be more honest, but it can also be a bad thing because competitors may intentionally interrupt your services with nasty comments.
If you determine that the comments are negative or intentionally demeaning, ignore them immediately. However, if you’re getting serious feedback from customers, it’s best to hear them clearly and make changes right away.
Digital surveys will allow you to easily segregate data based on the good and the bad. Don’t be shy though, it’s important to get dirty when sifting through the comments. If the feedback is negative, don’t sit back and pout, take it seriously and do something about it.
If you strive to create a legitimately robust survey, you will dramatically improve the way you do business and can legitimately change the lives of your customers and those around you.
