We are holding a contest with a year Pro subscription to SurveyGizmo up for grabs. SurveyGizmo wants you to create a mascot for us with the Spore™ Creature Creator, and in return 1 winner will be chosen to receive a 1 year Pro account at no charge! The best part is that there is no drawing talent required, just your infinite creativity. We are looking for a Spore™ mascot for this contest. Never heard of Spore™ before?
If not, now is the perfect time to get the free download of the Spore™ Creature Creator which allows you almost infinite flexibility in creating your own cute twisted scary unique creature.
Most of the geeks here at SurveyGizmo fell in love with Spore™ as soon as we found out about it, Spore™ is game by Will Wright, the creator of The Sims™ and numerous other games. Spore the game doesn’t come out until the fall but the Spore Creature Creator is available now. We’ve seen the amazing creativity with online surveys that our users have created in SurveyGizmo, and now we want to see if you can channel that into creating a mascot for us. It’s actually pretty easy, requires no artistic talent, and it’s FUN! (more…)

We sometimes get asked by new customers to help them “sell” SurveyGizmo into their company. Meaning, they are sold on us, but, others on staff are using some other online survey tool — one that makes this person crazy because it just can’t provide what we can — and they need what SurveyGizmo’s got. They want to get the rest of the company on board with SurveyGizmo because of the economies of scale and, well, it just makes a lot of sense for the company to use the same survey system across different departments for data sharing purposes.
So, in response to that, we asked some of our customers the top reasons why they’ve switched, and put that together into a handy-dandy (and darn good looking) pdf titled 10 reasons to switch to SurveyGizmo. Some of those reasons include the true ability to do branded surveys, multi-language survey creation and better reporting.
