Survey development is a critical, but often undervalued, step in the survey process. The wording of questions, the length of the survey, and the response type for any given question are a few of the important issues that need to be considered. All of these depend on having a clear, concise goal for the survey.

If you don't have a clear goal for your survey, you won't get clear results. You may waste time and money collecting unnecessary information. Quintus can help you set a goal for your survey based on your needs.

Question wording is key to a successful survey. Each question should be short and concise and should clearly address a single issue related to the overall goal. The questions must not lead the respondent to a particular answer. Writing questions that follow these guidelines is a matter of experience. Quintus researchers have that experience.

Mounting research evidence shows that your results will be more accurate AND more actionable when you keep the survey short. A short survey is most effective at focusing on one key issue. Quintus can ensure that you create a concise survey that will give you actionable results based on your goals. However, if your goals require a longer, more complex survey, we can certainly design the right one for you.
