Surveys Can Help To Develop Products<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important aspect of product development is\ncustomer feedback. If your products aren\u2019t liked by the end-user, then they\naren\u2019t going to sell well. Product development is the perfect time for you to\ncollect information from end-users on what they like and don\u2019t like about the\nproduct. Then you can use this feedback to make improvements before the final\nrelease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been done countless times in the past,\nthe developers of Fortnite, Epic Games, have used online surveys to help them\ncollect user feedback. They\u2019ve then used the respondents\u2019 answers to identify needs of the\ndevelopment and implement improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more they implement from suggestions, the\nmore the game has been developed to match the needs and expectations of the end\nuser. This has helped them to gain a competitive advantage over others in a\ncrowded market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><u>2. Surveys Can Help Build Two-Way Conversations Between Businesses And Customers<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest advantages of surveys is that it\ncreates a platform for two-way communications without embarrassing the respondents. This can\nhelp to not only develop the product, as mentioned above, but also to refine\nmarketing techniques and identify your brand\u2019s core audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps with marketing. When you are\nshown to seek out and listen to consumer comments, you generate positive\nmarketing that draws more attention to the brand and increases conversion\nrates. This is another benefit that Epic Games have found. They are in a very\ncrowded space, not just competing with console game developers, but also\nmobile, desktop and other devices. They rely on user-generated marketing to\nattract and retain users and to make in-game purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why their user surveys have become very\nimportant to their marketing. They\u2019ve helped them to differentiate themselves\nfrom the rest of the market. This has led them to become the market leader in\nthe genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><u>3. Retain Key Staff<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you run a small business, you know how\nimportant your staff are to your business\u2019 success. A bad hire can make success\nharder to achieve and a good employee is the ticket to success. Retaining key\ntalent within your organization is important, but often employees can be\nunhappy and you don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surveys can be a successful way to take the pulse of your staff\u2019s current mood and determine if they are at threat of leaving. This is of vital importance at the moment as there are staff shortages appearing in the employment marketing across the world. In addition, there are general skill shortages in areas such as leadership and technical areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has also found that many businesses are failing to use data properly in their HR operations. This is causing businesses to miss out on significant cost savings as one bad hire can cost your business $10,000 or more to replace and repair damage caused by the employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><u>4. Cost Effective Data Collection<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways you can collect information\nfor your business. But surveys\noffer the best solution on price. Surveys are relatively cheap to initiate. They only require your\ntime to design, send and then analyze the data. And with sending, it is often\nonly done with one or two clicks of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With other methods, you might have to speak\nindividually to people. This limits the number of potential respondents you can\ncollect data from. This therefore increases the inaccuracy of the information.\nIn addition, having to speak to participants individually, you\u2019re also increase\ncosts and reducing work productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><u>5. Surveys Are More Standardized<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are individually asking people for\nresponses, you\u2019re going to experience some divergence in the way questions are\nasked. This can cause problems. You and your staff might think that you\u2019re\nasking the same question over and over, but small changes in the language or\nthe mannerisms in asking the question can change how the subject responds to\nyour question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This contaminates your data and makes it less\nvaluable. Therefore, you\u2019ll struggle to get accurate answers. If you don\u2019t get accurate responses, then you could\ntake your business in the wrong direction and this might lower profits of your\ncompany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way that your staff might change questions is when they\u2019re getting a common response from people to one question like: \u201cdo you use the internet on your phone?\u201d They might get several people saying yes to this instantly. Then they might change the question to \u201cYou do use the internet on your phone.\u201d which is more of a statement. The respondent might just say yes, without thinking about it. But some people probably don\u2019t. So, instead of getting a yes response rate of 88%, you might get 95% or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The common reason for this is the person asking\nthe questions\nforming pre-determined expectations of the answers. And the person answering\nbelieves this is what the right answer should be and doesn\u2019t want to seem\nsocially incorrect. A survey\ncan\u2019t make this mistake, so the data is more accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><u>Conclusion<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surveys for entrepreneurs are so important. They help\nthem in product development, managing staff, recruitment and communicating with\ncustomers. Therefore, they are an essential part of a process to not only\nattract customers and generate revenue, but also to keep the business\nprofitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the french version<\/strong><br>Comment les entrepreneurs tirent profit des questionnaires en ligne ?,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualif.dragnsurvey.com\/blog\/comment-les-entrepreneurs-tirent-profit-des-questionnaires-en-ligne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"click here (opens in a new tab)\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entrepreneurs can benefit hugely from surveys.
