Analyze Satisfaction Survey Questions with Scoring

Use the Scoring ability in Snap Survey Software to analyze satisfaction survey questions

online-satisfaction-surveyIf you have a satisfaction survey question in your online survey, or other question where survey respondents are asked to rate a subject using an scale, you can convert respondent data into useful mean values by analyzing the responses using a score. You can then view data as a summary of the satisfaction value of all the data.

Scores are a way of manipulating survey data for analysis. Scores allow you to assign a value to each code, including a no response value (respondent did not answer the question). In advanced online survey software, you can assign a score to each survey question code, and then calculate analyses using the score instead of the code. This method is generally used for scoring satisfaction surveys, so that positive ratings are given positive values and negative ratings are given negative values. You can then summarize the whole satisfaction by calculating the mean of all survey cases, so you know whether survey respondents are generally satisfied or not, by how high or low the mean score is.

3 Customer Loyalty Survey Mistakes

As we defined in yesterday’s blog post, Customer Satisfaction vs. Customer Loyalty, customer loyalty consists of two factors – loyalty behavior and loyalty attitudes. Loyalty behavior (or customer retention) is when customers make repeat purchases of current brands, rather than buy from competitor brands. And, loyalty attitudes are opinions and feelings about products, services, brands, or businesses that are associated with repeat purchases.

customer-loyalty-surveysCustomer loyalty is a critical component of maintaining a successful, long-term business. Customers that are vigilant users of your products or services are more likely to be repeat customers and recommend your business to others – keeping the business relationship alive and away from your competition.

Customer loyalty programs can be implemented into your overall business plan and be used to expand your business. Consider using online survey software to create customer loyalty surveys. Many experts believe that online customer loyalty surveys are a strong research method. By allowing customers to provide feedback and be more involved in the company experience, your business is building a stronger loyalty base and bond with your customers. Implementing a regular customer loyalty survey may cause a noticeable positive shift in your company’s overall loyalty. Continue reading

This is the second session of Snap Summer Camp 2012, a free webinar series running throughout the summer, from June to September.

Webinar title: Analyzing Satisfaction Questions – Scores and Ratings

free-online-surveys-webinarScores are a way of summarizing your survey data for analysis. You can assign a score to each survey question code, and then calculate analyses using the score instead of the code. Scores are generally used for scoring satisfaction survey questions. Positive ratings are given positive values and negative ratings are given negative values. You can then summarize the whole satisfaction by calculating the mean of all the cases to understand whether people are generally satisfied or not – by how high or low the mean is.

Snap Training Consultant Marc Ellison will explain the principles and show viewers how to score using Snap Survey Software.

Webinar topics include:

  • Scoring and rating survey data
  • Summarizing satisfaction ratings by calculating mean
  • Applying scores and using medians instead of means to overcome issues with assigning values to semantics
