Survey Monkey – Online tool to conduct FREE Market Research

SurveyMonkey helps collecting opinion from target audience in an organized yet simple manner.

Did you ever feel the need to ask your friends and colleagues about their opinion on some product?

Real-life Example:

Suppose if you are looking to buy a new Smartphone!

My Case:

I was looking for a new smartphone for myself and faced with tremendous confusion..

The Process:

I consulted many of my friends for their opinion on certain brands and models.

The Result:

The pattern I used to collect their opinion was somewhat haphazard. I ended up in an opinion-bin with lots of random opinion.

The Solution:

One of my friend’s always keep saying, there is nothing you can’t find on Google! Yeah, he proved right even this time, I searched and found the website “SurveyMonkey.com” which lets you create surveys for free and post them directly to your friend lists on Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook and other social networking websites.

  • One feature I must share is the question Logic which can be added to any question. The question Logic saves time by not asking questions which are not necessary. For example – If there is a market research on Nokia E5, ofcourse you would be looking for specific opinion from people who have actually used the mobile phone and not just from every passer-by. So if there is a question which asks “Did you use or presently use Nokia E5?”; for people who answer ‘Yes’ would be asked further specific questions or else the general questions would follow and finally the survey would end.

  • Generate charts, prepare real-time reports using the Survey results and even share them with your friends.
  • Now what? Do you want Survey Monkey to even write the questions for you? Obviously it can’t, but it can definitely help with the available Question templates. Howz that?
