To decide ones to use, keep in mind which channels your customers use or prefer (in general, and in relation to your company). Consider a multichannel approach to personalize how to reach out and achieve a higher response rate.

Email channel

• How it works: with the email channel, you’ll send a survey via email to your audience's inbox. The content of the survey will appear in the body of the email, from where your customers can reply directly.
• Advantages: tap into what your audience is used to. Email is still the most used method for collecting data, and it’s perceived as a very non-intrusive method.

SMS-link

• How it works: with the SMS-link channel, you’ll send a text message to your audience with a link to your survey. When the respondent clicks on the link, they will be taken to a webpage where they can complete your survey.
• Advantages: capture your audience where they spend most of their time: on their mobile phone. An sms containing a link to your survey will get you high and fast response rates. It’s a very quick and easy way to reach out.

SMS-2-way

• How it works: with the SMS-2-way channel, you can send a text message to your audience that includes your survey questions, and the respondent can reply with their answers directly in their SMS client.
• Advantages: go for a more intuitive way of interacting by sending SMS messages in a conversational style, each message containing a survey question and being replied to separately. This channel also allows for quick and easy responses.

Voice

• How it works: with the Voice channel, we create an interactive voice response (IVR) survey that allows respondents to complete your survey by answering to a phone call. The IVR system will guide the respondent through your survey questions
• Advantages: wish to stand out? Send your survey through voice, which is a very natural and time efficient manner, believed to help your audience giving more honest and detailed answers. This two-way communication assists in building a stronger relationship between you and your customer.
