We here at SurveyGizmo want your survey experience to be the most productive that it can be so along with providing you with a remarkable online survey tool and the how-to articles and video tutorials that are available at the SurveyGizmo Knowledge Base we are posting daily survey tips on twitter and collecting them for a blog post each week.

So without any further ado, here are the most recent tips:

- Avoid ‘order bias’ by randomizing the order in which responses are displayed

- Give a definition to each point on a scale instead of just the endpoints; it will usually yield higher-quality data

- For ‘check all that apply’ lists be sure to use any and all available previously collected open-ended data

- Notify respondents in advance of sending the survey, they will be more likely to recognize the survey when it arrives

- Consider offering an incentive for participation. On average, incentives typically boost response rates by 50%
