I received an envelope in the mail the other day. \u00a0It was rather hefty. Inside the envelope was — get this — a HUGE paper survey<\/a> and $5. \u00a0What do you think I did?<\/p>\n

I put the $5 in my pocket and I tossed the giant survey. \u00a0I figured, at my hourly rate, that $5 paid for my “processing” the paperwork. \u00a0But this brought to mind the idea of incentives. \u00a0Do they work? \u00a0Will inserting some kind of gift card or money increase your response rate?<\/p>\n

The research says…..YES<\/h2>\n

Just recently, there was a terrific article in the Greenbook Blog <\/a>about incentives.<\/p>\n

Results were consistent across all demographic categories: age, gender, income and geography in roughly proportionate numbers to the aggregate, meaning that across the board Visa or Store Gift cards are almost twice as appealing as any other reward system.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That said — you’ll definitely want to think about using survey incentives<\/a> in your next research. \u00a0And now, QuestionPro has made it easy to do just that.<\/p>\n
