Pre-Launch Survey Email

Do you believe in “Sell what you can Make” or “Make what you can Sell”. Well if you believe in the former one, then this point is not for you. However, you can rethink your marketing technique as consumers prefer the later technique. Imagine you put tons of effort into creating a product but end up selling nothing as people do not want it. Do not worry, pre-launch surveys are here to help you. Learn about their current and future needs to create a product that will be sold in no time. Few things you need to consider when you create a Pre-Launch Survey:

• Be clear about how their feedback will be considered.

Post-Purchase Survey

Your job is not done after selling. You have to keep track of your customers because existing customers are gold for any business. With the help of post-purchase surveys, you learn whether the customer is satisfied or not. In this survey, you can thank them for the purchase and answer some quick questions to improve if required. Now the question is how to entice customers to fill the survey? Well, you can offer some credit points or discounts for the next purchase. Many businesses use this technique to get their post-purchase survey filled in return for some credit points.

Points to be remembered while creating the post-purchase survey:

• Offer incentives to fill the survey
• Keep it short
• Ask questions about the particular product/service

Do not ask out any random questions or any personal questions. Remember it is a post-purchase survey so, frame the questions according to that. 

Data Survey Emails

Collecting data of a subscriber is the most tedious task, but the data survey emails make it simple. The data surveys help you to customize your future emails and segment the subscribers accurately. Also, do not undervalue data surveys as it saves a lot of efforts, money, and time of the business. Mention the time required to fill the survey and ask relevant questions.

Email Footer Survey

Wondering whether your email content left the desired impact on the subscriber’s mind or not? Resolve this query by asking one question at the end. You can ask about the subscriber’s reaction after reading the email content or ask about the usefulness of the information. In this way, you have clarity about your email content, and you can create more engaging content based on the feedback.

Welcome Email Survey 

Many experts send surveys or questions in their first email i.e. the welcome email to know their new subscribers with better understanding. Getting feedback is important, and that is why surveys play a dominant role in email marketing.

Once you know more about your new subscriber, you can send them personalized emails, and you can segment them easily. Targeting the segmented audience is the building stone of email marketing success, and surveys help a lot in segmenting the subscribers.

1. Would they like to receive newsletters daily, weekly, or monthly
2. On which genre your subscriber would like to read?
3. Which locations would they like to know about more?
4. What is the word count preferred by them?

All these questions will help you to create a newsletter that will have more readability scores as it is created on the preference of subscribers. You get to know more about their interests that will help you to create more engaging content.
