Questions about Surveys

• Why are surveys conducted?

  Surveys are conducted because businesses, governments, public bodies, and similar organizations are interested in the views and attitudes of the people who use their products and services. The more they know about what customers and citizens think, the easier it is for them to improve and adapt what they supply.
• What happens after I join?

  We will send you an e-mail welcoming you to SurveySpot and you will begin receiving e-mail invitations to take surveys. The e-mails will contain all the information you need to take part. Once you complete the survey, you'll have the opportunity to earn points and will be entered into our quarterly prize draw.
• How often will I be asked to take surveys?

  We send out survey invitations on a regular basis, but cannot say who or when any member will receive invitations. This is because each survey is customized and based around the research goals for each individual client. Depending on your profile, we may ask you to complete surveys more or less often. For this reason, we ask you to keep your profile as up to date as possible. Please note some firewalls may prevent delivery of our survey invitations.
• How will I know that I am to complete a survey?

  We will send you an e-mail invitation when a new survey is available for you. From that invitation you will be able to access and complete the survey. Please note some firewalls may prevent delivery of our survey invitations (refer to "I do not seem to be receiving many survey invitations, why is this?)"
• Will I be penalized if I do not complete a survey I am invited to participate in?

  You won't be penalized if you do not complete a survey. You can complete as many or as few of the surveys you are invited to participate in. Your points grow the more surveys you complete.
• How long does an average survey take to complete?

  The number of questions varies from one survey to another. We try to keep surveys as short as possible, although we have to make sure the results are meaningful. In general a survey should take around 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
