If you are asking many questions about your customers, then your customers may leave after answering some questions. Customers are the very busy creatures so don’t expect them to fill out your whole survey at one time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Customers are leaving after answering some questions then through follow-up you can ask remaining questions. If your customer miss survey on a website then you can ask survey by an email.

\"Minimal<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Keep the design of your survey very simple. Excessive usage of images and graphics can distract your customers and they will leave your survey. Use graphics just to inform about the survey at the very first page. And keep the steps simple with questions and answering inputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t make a large survey with lots of questions. Group your questions and ask them on multiple screens. Shorter the survey better will be the response rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 6: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"timing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very important to know when your customers are active. Like if your customers are working professional then they can fill out your survey in the morning through email or during launch breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, you have to determine the best time period during which your customers are most active. You can determine it by your past survey responses. This will provide you higher response rates. In NotifyVisitors<\/strong>, you can get it in the analytics section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip 7: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use exit-intent Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"exit<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t show direct survey form or popup to your customers when they open your webpage. It will distract them and they can close it. Wait for the user to leave and when they are about to leave show them your survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
