Do you want to research your target market so that you can improve your products, services, website, or some other area of your business? If you do then you first need to know how to create effective online survey forms that will allow you to gather the information that you need.
Before you start to create your form you should first outline the goal of your survey, and map out the questions that you want to ask. If you’ve already done all that – you can create the online survey form itself quickly by using AidaForm.
How to Create an Online Survey Form in AidaForm
In order to create any online form using AidaForm you will need to sign up for a free account and log in. Once you’re in the members’ area you can start to create your survey anytime you want by clicking on the ‘Create a Form’ button and following a few steps:
- Select the template that you want to use. For surveys it is often preferable to start with the Blank template, as each survey will be different from the next. To proceed simply type in the name that you want to assign to the survey, and click ‘Create’.
- Add fields to the form in the Form Editor by opening the Form Elements section and dragging blocks with the types of fields that you want into place. In AidaForm there are numerous types that you can add, including multiple-choice questions, text fields, lists, and more.
- Customize the settings of the fields that you’ve added and adjust their labels based on the questions that you want to include in your form. If you want you can also customize the hints, error messages, data validation, and so on.
- Apply a theme to the survey or adjust the colors and fonts manually. If you want you can customize any theme as well, and the changes you make will be applied to all elements so they remain consistent.
- Publish the survey by clicking on the ‘Publish’ button. In AidaForm you can directly link to the survey which will make publishing and sharing it via email, social media, forums, or other platforms a piece of cake. Alternatively you could export the embed code to copy and paste on your website.
For more detailed instructions you can visit https://aidaform.com/how-to-create-an-online-survey.html, but as you can see it really is fairly straightforward. In fact it is safe to say that creating your survey shouldn’t take any more than a few minutes – even if it is your first time using AidaForm.
After your survey has been published you can set AidaForm to notify you as people respond to it. On top of that you can check on the data that has been collected at any point using the web-based interface, or you could export it as a spreadsheet to process it using other software.
Suffice to say you can reap the rewards that come with an effective online survey – and start to make better decisions based on the data that you collect.
