Thanks to Jennifer Jensen, Assistant Professor at SUNY Albany, we've put together a few easy tips and tricks that can help improve your response rates for your online surveys. This article is a recap of 10 things that you can easily consider to prevent drop-outs and help you achieve you target.

Are you interested in deploying a long running survey and measure trends and fluctuations in aggregate response data over time? We've just released the solution for you. With Trend Analysis you can measure the "Mean" of a Satisfaction Questionnaire and see how it moves up or down along with time. Plot marketing events with the rise or dips in satisfaction levels for your customers.

We now have released a all-in-one excel spreadsheet with your entire survey database along with analytics. This new Excel Analytical Report will generate out an Excel workbook with multiple sheets -- Ranging from Email addresses of the respondents to aggregate frequency analysis.

To Access this Report click on "Advanced Reports" in the "View Results" Tab.

Do you have your own blog or journal? We've made it even easier for you to post your survey to your journals and weblogs. If you have your blogs hosted by one of the few well-know blogging sites (blogger.com, livejournal.com, typepad.com etc.) we can post your survey directly to your blog.

We have partnered up with Equifax -- A Leading provider of email and marketing email lists to provide you with email list for all your marketing and survey completion goals.

Conjoint Analysis -- We know quite a few of our users have been waiting for the Choice Based Conjoint to complement the Self-Explicated model that we currently have. We've put in considerable resources into developing the Discrete Choice model and should be able to have a Release by the end of September!

Posting surveys to newsgroups -- We are working toward a solution to post survey invitations to newsgroups and mailing lists like Yahoo! Groups and MSN Groups.

Integration with SalesForce.com -- We are pursuing a partnership with SalesForce.com so that our Surveying Engine is integrated with the CRM Software from SalesForce.com.

Analysis and Comparisons for Sub-Groups -- Quite a few of you have asked for integrated analysis tools for groups. We are moving along the direction of creating tools for T-Tests and Chi-Square tests.
