Surveys – Quizzes As A Way of Making Money

12.19.2011 · Posted in Business News Article

Surveys have always been central to any company hoping to judge how well their product or service is performing, with the dynamic progress of the Internet to reach areas where traditional modes of advertising have failed or have struggled, companies can now utilise surveys via quizzes, helping to judge their performance from their consumers’ stand point and also being able to streamline their products and services to suit, based on the results from these surveys. The Internet has also made it possible for marketing surveys to be much more flexible, when compared to the traditional methods of sending quizzes via standard mail.nnThe phenomenal growth of the Internet has meant many of the services provided in a traditional manner can now be offered online, for a fraction of the costs. Since consumers no longer have to fill in a form via pen and paper and then mail it to the company, surveys can be filled in a fraction of the time equating to a much faster evaluation of the company’s product or service, the speed at which the Internet has made filling in of quizzes remarkably faster than previous methods, and coupled with its interactivity; with dynamic programming languages giving their consumers a much more pleasant and user friendly environment for the company’s surveys, has now meant that surveys can be a source of making money online.nnTraditional advertising methods had meant that if a company wanted to gauge it’s performance it would be forced to advertise (in some cases requiring a lot of advertising expenditure) an advert on tv, radio, local and international newspapers and magazines, with a great deal of the demographic that is targeted, a shot in the dark in the company’s hope to meet its intended audience.nnWith the flexibility this mode of advertising has offered many companies, when compared to the traditional modes of advertising, companies can be moderately relaxed about sending quizzes pertaining to their surveys, via email knowing that the targeted list of recipients are more likely to aide the company in better organisation of its products and services, and that their responses will be tailor made to their product and or service. This advantage over traditional modes of advertising has meant companies can now redirect advertising revenue to their consumer base, cutting out any intermediate steps in reaching their prized consumer, and paying them adequately for giving up of their time in responding to their surveys.nnCompanies usually hire intermediate firms to deal with generating their quizzes, and contacting the potential consumers about the availability of a survey that they might be suitable for, in turn the intermediate company is usually responsible for creating a mailing list specifically for each company. Individuals who have subscribed to a mailing list regularly receive emails containing surveys they may be suitable for, however this is one of the major hurdles to be overcome in making money from surveys, since companies are usually after specific individuals, the flexibility of online surveys has meant that they can filter out beforehand those that may not respond well to their product or service, possibly by age, and geographic location, so often individuals find that they may not be suitable for a survey after getting through some preliminary quizzes.
