Communications For Research, Inc.

CFR offers online surveys that are easy to use, easy to access and yield high turn-around from respondents.

• 24-hour access from anywhere in the world. Respondents may participate in the survey at a time most convenient for them.
• Fast turn-around for many completed interviews in a short period of time. The number of simultaneous respondents on a survey is limited only by the web server's capacity.
• Multimedia can be integrated within a survey seamlessly – graphics, audio, video – creating a rich user experience.
• High-tech delivery using state of the art web servers and experienced programmers to provide a cost-effective alternative to international phone calls or postal mailings.

We offer secured website hosting and database services using advanced computer software that allows for the rapid conversion of surveys into a web-accessible format. Our software is actively maintained and updated to ensure real quality in all surveys. The software is also extremely flexible, allowing last-minute alterations to a survey, even while the survey is active. And combined with our e-mail mailing list capabilities for recruiting respondents to online surveys – the entire survey process is a high-quality experience for both you and your users.

CFR's online surveys feature:

• Password Security - an optional password security feature ensures that only targeted respondents have access to a survey. The password also allows respondent data to be linked to a survey, enabling separate quotas and tailored questions for specific respondent groups.
• Progress Meter - an optional progress meter gives respondents a visual representation of how close they are to completing the survey. This added bit of encouragement can mean the difference between a completed survey and one that breaks off two questions before the end.
• Resumed Surveys - If a respondent breaks off in the middle of a survey, he/she is able to return and continue from that point without having to repeat previous questions.
• Phone recruiting - option of doing survey on phone as recruited.

Programming

CFR has an exceptional in-house programming and technical staff. We pay close attention to every detail to ensure that your surveys will be conducted exactly as you want them. We also think creatively to find new and innovative ways to program the questions you need answered. If it can be done, our staff will make sure we get it done.

Email Blasts

The key to a successful online survey is getting the right people to the site. We have experience in sending email invitations to hundreds … thousands … even tens of thousands of possible respondents in a way that will deliver the invitation to their inbox without being filtered as junk-mail or spam.
