Surveys can provide valuable feedback and information, but you don’t want your respondents to click away because they are bored. Use a friendly, informal tone.

If you don’t want to sound too professional, it’s okay to be professional but not friendly. This will make your survey more enjoyable for your respondents.

If you ask the same questions on every topic, your survey will become boring. It will go much faster if participants don’t expect some funny questions.

To break up a dense question, you can try a few of these.

These are just a few examples.
1. Do you prefer a cat or a dog?
2. Do you like pizza or burgers?
3. Do you prefer to live a single life for 1000 years, or 10 lives of 100 year each?
4. Which superpower would it be nice to have?

Make your survey more interesting by using emoticons

Emojis increase survey completion without compromising data quality.

The internet is being dominated by mobile users. People no longer rely on computers to do the same things they did before their smartphones.

However, users on mobile devices are more likely not to complete surveys or abandon websites than they are on computers. Users will abandon surveys if the survey doesn’t load quickly or takes too long to load.

Emojis are a great way to decrease drop-off rates. WARC also discovered that emojis can increase survey completion.

Try to find a unique answer! Do not accept the “Yes” or “No” answers.

You can pick your favorite, make your own and have lots of fun doing it.
