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'.
Our team can manage the entire survey process for you, including the creation of voter-specific URLs. This allows you to not only collect valuable information but also to know exactly who it's coming from. Contact our teamto get started.
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:
The initial text message is sent to your contact list, either by RoboCent if you opt for the Managed Service, or by the client directly if you choose the Self-Service option during scheduling.
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'.
Note: While RoboCent can handle the delivery of your initial messages, your team is responsible for managing any subsequent back-and-forth communication to conduct the survey.
Choose the survey method that fits your campaign's needs for a successful and meaningful outreach.
