Recently we did a workshop in our local area. My colleague and I thought it went pretty well, but how can we know for sure?
I wanted to get some real feedback about our workshop. So I decided to send a free online survey to the attendees.
Sending a free online survey to your audience is so important. Whether you just did a live event or not, doesn’t matter. If you serve others, in any capacity, it is important to get feedback from them from time to time.
In this post, I plan to show you how…
How To Make a Free Online Survey With Typeform
I use a free tool called Type Form. Just go to typeform.com and set up a free account. They make it super easy for you to do this.
Setup Your Workspace and Template
First setup a new workspace.
Then if you want to create a new type form just click the plus button.
You can use a template or start from scratch. Remember, I want to get feedback about our workshop.
So let’s find a “post event survey” template. Just click on the template. And then it’s going to give me a preview of how it works. If I like it I just click “use this template.”
Build and Tweak Your Survey
Now let me show you inside the online survey itself.
Here’s the build, it’s already set up. All you have to do is come in and change the line items.
I didn’t have to do very much change because it was already set up for an event.
Line items were already setup such as:
- How would you rate the speakers,
- The workshops,
- The venue,
- Door prices,
- Food?
- How did you first hear about the event?
- How well did the event meet your expectations?
- And so on.
This is exactly the information we want to know about our workshop so there was very little I had to change about it.
Within a couple of these questions there are places for people to leave comments. Which is really nice. Because there are people who will take the time to type in a response. And that gives you personalized feedback. Which is really great.
Change the Color and Design
Then you can go into the design panel, and change the color if you want. Or you can change the background image, the fonts, and almost everything about the design of the type form. But you know what? I didn’t change anything. I just left it the way it was and it worked great.
Distribute Your Free Online Survey
When you click distribute, you are given a link. Let me show you what I mean. Right here I just click “copy” and it’s copied to my clipboard. Now all I have to do now is go to my email, or social media, or whatever, and paste it in and send it out to the people who came to the event.
Analyze The Results
I think this is really cool.., When you click on “analyze” you’ll be able to see analytics, and you’ll be able to see all the responses.
The first thing you get is an overview of the metrics. This tells the average time to complete was 4 minutes and 46 seconds, 14 unique visits and 12 responses. It shows whether people filled it out on their laptops or tablets or smart phones.
There’s a visual report also.
When you pull up the visual report, you can see the average of all of these responses. You will know overall how satisfied people were.
And it goes deeper from there… How did you first hear about the event? It tells how people heard about it and so on. There’s graph averages of what all of the respondents entered.
Share The Results With Your Team
Then there’s a way for you to share this general report with your colleagues. If you had somebody else, like I did, who did the workshop with you. Just go to the bottom of the page and copy the public link. I did this, and sent it to him and said, “Hey, check out the responses.”
So cool! This is so easy and they’re beautiful. You can upgrade your account for more functionality. But, the basic version right here, the free version, was enough for me to get the feedback I needed to help continue growing my business.
If you’re an entrepreneur, or small business, it’s important for you to survey your audience and find out things that you need to know.
