Online Surveys Can Save You Thousands of Dollars
Site: www.cusurvey.com

How much would you pay to know exactly what your customers and potential customers think about your products and services? Considering how valuable this information is, it's not unreasonable for a company to spend tens of thousands of dollars on market research. This might include focus groups, mystery shopping and of course, surveys.

Traditionally, surveys have been performed through direct-mail and over the telephone. Although these methods can be effective and still do serve a purpose, they can also be very costly. A 200-response survey over the telephone can cost between $5,000 and $15,000 while a direct-mail survey with the same number of responses could cost between $5,000 and $7,000 [source; Yahoo! Small Business].

Online survey software, such as CU Survey, now gives users the ability to perform surveys at a drastically lower cost. Where are the cost savings? Printing, postage, labor and analysis/reporting software make up for the majority of the cost savings.

The price for a one-year subscription to CU Survey is $1,195. That's less than it would cost for just one telephone or direct-mail survey. In today's tough economy, it's important that you find creative ways to stretch your budget. Performing surveys online through CU Survey is one of them.
