The
most basic question that should come in your mind before conducting
an online poll is, To whom it is targeted and how relevant
is it? If you will not plan your poll properly, making it
relevant and specific to the target group, it will never serve its
purpose.
Though
many business houses give importance to survey engagement by focusing on various elements like looks, mobile friendly, etc, they
usually miss the most important one. Relevance of the poll is the
most and will be the most important factor around which everything
revolves. It is like the soul for the body. A body which is even
though very agile and fit falls flat without a soul. Being relevant
and specific in its approach will the key for a successful online poll. The more emphasis given to make the online poll, the better
result it will generate.
How
often have you come across a questionnaire containing questions
completely irrelevant to you?
It dampens your mood in the very beginning and then what follows is disinterest in the poll. After going through the irrelevant questions you try to dodge the questions by either skipping or by giving a passive response. A person who is least interested in the questions will give the response in the least interested manner only. Just for instance you are asked about your credit loan experience when you have taken none in your entire life. You will surely choose the random answers without any genuine interest, making the poll completely meaningless.

How
do you feel being asked about questions on brands which are way
beyond your reach? Does it gives you pleasure?
The respondents do
not take it very sportingly when asked about something which they
always think is way beyond their reach. Beside not knowing anything
to express because of their zero experience with the brand, they also
feel that their ego is being hurt. Never try to force questions on
the respondents if they are not comfortable with it. For instance a
person who can only afford a two-wheeler will not be in a position to
answer questions on Mercedes, being beyond his reach. The response he
will give will be either not real or completely irrelevant for you as
a business.
The
central idea after going through all this is that an online poll's
question will gain meaningful results, if asked correctly and to the
correct respondent. The survey designer should never fail in
targeting the right respondents and should design the questionnaire
accordingly. It would be better if a poll test is conducted amongst
the family and friends before going to public through online poll.
This can help in getting an idea about the irrelevant questions that
should be avoided.
