Do you take time for surveys and why not?

Designing surveys to be engaging and motivating

How can I find out what my customers think?

As service providers, customer satisfaction is key to our success. Surveys are a popular tool for gauging this, yet the real challenge lies in encouraging customers to begin and complete them. So, what’s the secret to creating surveys that customers not only enjoy but also engage with regularly over time? qards has enlisted Centigrade's expertise for the redesign, execution, and evaluation of their 2023 customer satisfaction survey.

The Solution

Together with qards, we've made the satisfaction survey an enjoyable experience for participants that provides meaningful insights.

Design with users in mind

In shaping the questionnaire, we joined forces with qards, centering our efforts on a user-focused approach. Our aim was clear: to foster simplicity and clarity tailored to the unique needs of users, ensuring their engagement. Of course, this began with a fundamental step – distinctly identifying our user base.

AI-powered user research — with Leanscope!

Together with qards, we developed the profile of our target group in a persona workshop. What types of use are there? What motivates them or causes frustration? The LeanScope management tool is essential for us for this task. With one click, it creates realistic initial profiles of diverse user groups. We are continuously refining these proto-personas by incorporating further user research data. Generative AI and the “human-in-the-loop” approach complement each other perfectly here.

Persona analysis for tailor-made questionnaire design

The personas helped us to further develop the questionnaire to address the needs and pain points of the users. For example, we found that one of our personas appreciated sharing their expertise. To reflect her expert status, we adapted the wording on the survey homepage accordingly.

Accurate question construction for value-added results

Next, we conducted a thorough analysis of the existing questionnaire and the outcomes of the last survey. Leveraging our expertise in UX writing and psychological questionnaire construction, we posed critical questions such as: How informative are the individual items? How can we reduce both the duration and the number of questions while still preserving the informational value? Which aspects were missing in the previous surveys?

‍

Open questions, for deeper insights

Refining the survey was a process of iteration, with continuous, small tweaks made in partnership with qards. One key challenge was to enhance the survey while maintaining the comparability with the 2021 findings. Newly introduced open-ended questions allowed us to pinpoint areas of current dissatisfaction among qards customers.

Pilot test & evaluation

A pilot test with a qards customer provided the fine-tuning. Once the survey was administered and responses were garnered, we began our analysis. Quantitative data were examined using descriptive statistics via RStudio. Responses to newly introduced openly phrased questions regarding desired changes and enhancements underwent assessment through affinity mapping. We categorized open-ended responses and determined the frequency of specific themes mentioned. This approach enabled us to discern the areas in which qards customers are especially satisfied.

Gaining Insights & Looking Forward

By strategically refining and streamlining the questions, we managed to reduce the completion time by a substantial 14%. We at Centigrade take pride in our successful collaboration with qards and look forward to continuing our partnership into the future. This project is a testament to our commitment to utilizing innovative methods and tools to craft optimal solutions for our clients, fostering long-term and fruitful partnerships.

Die kontinuierliche, partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit mit Centigrade war entscheidend für die erfolgreiche Weiterentwicklung unserer Kundenzufriedenheitsbefragung. Trotz der umfassenden Weiterentwicklung des Fragebogens gelang es uns, die Vergleichbarkeit zur vorherigen Kundenzufriedenheitsbefragung zu wahren. Durch die Einführung neuer offener Fragen konnten wir wertvolle neue Einblicke gewinnen, während gleichzeitig die durchschnittliche Bearbeitungszeit um 14% reduziert wurde.
