How can in-mail surveys increase your response rate?
In-mail surveys are an effective call-to-action strategy. Respondents are more likely to participate in the survey if it only has one question. They are then taken to the survey page in another tab where they can answer a few more questions. The inline feature ensures that you get the answers to the most important question in your survey first.
What are in-mail surveys used for?
In-mail surveys are particularly helpful in instances where you need to collect responses on a time constraint.
Collect feedback
Collect feedback on your most pressing questions without having to wait for respondents to finish the whole survey. An in-mail survey is a great tool for collecting event RSVPs, post-event feedback, or after-sale customer satisfaction reports. It is also useful for quick email polls.
Make custom signatures
Add your customized HTML code to create signatures or rating scale emojis of your choice.
