Wordpress blog plugin for SurveyGizmo

We now have plugin for WordPress (the wildly popular blogging and website management software). This WordPress Survey Plugin allows you as a blogger to easily integrate surveys in your posts and web pages.

Then, you can then keep an eye on your response stats without having to leave the WordPress Admin Dashboard!

Example: An Embedded Survey

Here is an example of a survey embedded in a post. (Quick Note: although we use WordPress, you can embed a SurveyGizmo survey into any web page or content management system. Just use ‘javascript embed’ as your publishing method.)

Feel free to try it right now. After submitting you’ll stay right on this page — groovy, huh?

New Feature: Send Email Invitations

How many times have you wanted to quickly send out an invitation for a survey, then follow up with anyone who hasn’t finished it? How about emailing those who complete your survey to say ‘thank you’ or share final results with them?

Good news — we have just released a survey email invitation tool that lets anyone with a personal, professional or enterprise account do all of that!

With the Email Invites tool you can:

1. Upload email addresses. You can upload from Excel, text files or you can cut and paste into our text-entry.
2. Send an email. Seems basic, but we give you some extra oomph to make sending emails more exciting. You can that automatically merge in name, company, email, and of course the unique survey link.
3. Track Individuals - Survey invitations let you track survey responses back to the original contact — even if your survey doesn’t ask for contact information.
4. Track click-through’s, visits, abandoned surveys, and completed surveys.
5. Send followup emails as a reminder to complete the survey, a thank you, or to share the results with takers.

You can create as many email invites as you like for a survey (each invite is limited to 1000 contacts in one send). Sending to different groups lets you track the results separately.

Need to boost your result count? Send as many ‘followup’ emails for an invitation as you need to. Lets face it, your first invitation might have arrived at a bad time, or been deleted accidentally with junk mail. Followups give your contacts another chance to complete thier survey.

All responses are tracked in real time, so you can see who is and isn’t completing their surveys.

One other little thing, all the emails we send are CAN-SPAM compliant and automatically attach your company details and an unsubscribe link to the bottom of each email. We take our anti-spam policy seriously at SurveyGizmo. We expect you do as well, after all, your the Good Guys not the spammers — right?

Invites are limited to 1,000 emails. If you need to do more than this call customer service about integrating SurveyGizmo with your own SMTP mail server or even your Email Service Provider.

The Email Invite tool isn’t limited to surveys either.

Here are some other ideas you can do with SurveyGizmo & the invite tool:

• Have your customers/members update their contact info (then let SurveyGizmo post it back to your own database.)
• Send an exam to your students and keep track of who has completed it.
• Have people RSVP for an Event, sign-up for a new product, or review a document.
• Have employees agree to a new policy, learn about new company info, or test on some subject of accountability

The invite tool is located between the “Publishing” and “Reporting” tabs on every survey! Enjoy!

So have at it! And, as always, please share your feedback with us.
