A high response rate is the main goal of the survey creator because more responses lead to better data and ultimately better insights. Surveys that are easy to fill out get the most responses. When putting together a survey, the designer needs to think carefully about question phrasing, question types, and the order of questions.

These three factors are more important when you opt for pre-designed survey templates. Another trick to maximize response rate is to group similar questions under separate sections. These divisions will lessen survey fatigue and make the survey a breeze to fill.

Once you have come up with suitable questions, simply use an online survey tool to create and distribute your survey. Most of these tools have tons of survey templates that have pre-written questions that you can simply tweak to fit your needs.

Once you have selected a suitable template, you are free to change the questions. This short tutorial will show you how to organize questions and question grouping in SurveyCrest surveys.
