First think, then act

Nowadays, you carry out an online survey with ease. But good research is impossible without a good survey. And don’t underestimate this. Only a carefully prepared questionnaire with a well designed report can give you the insights which enables you to take the correct decisions.

Before you start, think carefully about the results you want to achieve with your research. What is your aim? What do you want to measure? What do you hope to achieve and what not? What do you want to do with the results? Which decisions will you take, possibly based on these results? And how will you set up the reporting?

Answer these questions for yourself before you start to work on your questionnaire. After all, a bad survey will not address the purpose of the research and means a waste of money.
