Link PagesSimple surveys for a small business
A survey with ten answers is not a statistic, but it can still tell you something real if you ask well and read carefully.
Decide what you will do with the answer
Before you write a question, say what decision it would change. If no answer would change what you do, do not ask.
Write neutral questions
- "How satisfied are you with our delivery?" is neutral. "Don't you think our delivery is excellent?" is not.
- Ask one thing at a time.
- Give choices that cover the possibilities, including "Other" and "Not sure".
How many answers do you need?
For a small business, even 20 answers show the biggest problems and the biggest strengths. Do not draw fine conclusions from small numbers: 6 of 10 saying yes is not very different from 5 of 10.
Bias to watch
- Only happy or angry people answer. Ask everyone, not only the people who come to mind.
- People say what is polite. Make it easy to be honest: allow answers without a name.
- Timing. Ask soon after the visit while people remember.
Using the results
Write the three things that came up most, pick one, change it, and tell people you did. Run the survey again after a few months to see if it worked. The form builder sends each answer to your WhatsApp, where you can copy them into a sheet.
Common questions
Can I make a survey anonymous?
The answers arrive on WhatsApp with the sender's number, so they are not anonymous. If anonymity matters, collect answers on paper in a box.
How often should I survey?
Once or twice a year for a small business, plus a short feedback form always available.
