In-Depth Knowledge

Running SMS Surveys

Two Effective Approaches

At RoboCent, we offer two highly effective methods for conducting SMS Surveys. Choose the approach that best aligns with your campaign goals and resources.

Option 1: Link-Based Survey

In this approach, your message contains a link to an external survey platform where recipients can share their opinions. This method is highly efficient and automated, requiring minimal hands-on engagement from your team.

Example:

Hello {fname} this is {agent_first_name} from [Organization Name]. We value your opinion on [Issue/Topic]. Please click the link to complete our quick survey: [Survey Link]. To opt-out, reply with 'Stop'.

Option 2: Interactive Messaging Survey

For a more personalized touch, you can engage your contacts in a back-and-forth text dialogue. This approach requires a dedicated team to manage the ongoing conversation and gather responses manually.

How It Works:

Once the initial messages are sent, your team of staff and volunteers take over the conversation. Utilizing the Agent Portal, they engage in personalized, one-on-one interactions to collect survey responses from recipients.

Example:

Hi {fname}, it's {agent_first_name} with [Organization Name]. Quick question: On a scale of 1-5, how important is [Issue/Topic] to you? Your feedback helps us focus on what matters most to our community. Want to opt-out? Reply w/ 'stop'.

Choose the survey method that fits your campaign's needs for a successful and meaningful outreach.
