Create survey questions

The SURVEYS module offers flexibility to customise some elements: 

  • Questions
  • Email Invitations
  • Survey Layouts

This functionality is available in the CUSTOMISE tab

Write your own questions

All survey accounts have, as default, a standard set of Purple Seven questions. These are 19 questions covering the topics: 

  • Overall satisfaction
  • Pricing and value for money
  • Marketing effectiveness
  • Demographics
  • Motivations 
  • Net promoter Score

As these questions are standard across all users and have been in use for 6 years, Purple Seven has amassed a vast database of customer responses that we use to power the survey benchmarks. 

When you create new questions, these will not be included in the benchmarks unless you share them with the rest of the community. 

To create your own questions, go to: 

1. CUSTOMISE tab in the SURVEYS module

2. On the sub-tabs, click QUESTION DESIGNER. Here you will see a list of existing questions available for use or edit and the option to ADD NEW ones. 

3. click the ADD NEW button and you will be taken to a new page where you can create your new question.

4. When you have selected the QUESTION TYPE, you need to design the answers in the screen below. 

NOTE: This example uses MULTIPLE CHOICE for the question so all possible answers are added as separate lines and can be re-ordered using the UP and DOWN arrows. 

5. When you have made your choices, SAVE CHANGES

Remember:  Surveys are sent to everyone with a valid email. Under GDPR this is possible because the purpose of the survey is research. If your questions become anything other than research - e.g. Marketing of future shows or promoting the products and services of a sponsor -  you must amend your configuration settings to reflect the marketing preferences of your customers to remain GDPR compliant.
