Online surveys are used to gather feedback, preferences, and opinions of your target audience. They help make smarter business decisions. However, the quality and reliability of insights gained from the survey results depend on the quality of the data collected, which in turn depends on the questions you ask. Also, the easier these questions are, the higher chances of responses being more genuine and accurate.
With the rise in emotion-based feedback, online surveys have become more visual. Market researchers across the world use universally known smiley survey questions that are easily recognizable, engaging, and visually appealing.
How smiley surveys help in collecting data?
Surveys with smiley face questions are designed for customers who are busy and do not have enough time to complete long questionnaires. For such an audience, smiley questions turn out to be quick, simple and focused.
Because smiley surveys are short to answer, the response and completion rate increases. Businesses can gather data from more customers and learn about their experiences.
