Three Incredibly Simple Reasons Why You Don’t Need Paid Surveys!
Have you ever participated in any type of paid surveys? Or what about a participating in any type of surveys? Personally, I find most people sort of ignore them. Don’t you agree?
It’s sort of like when you’re traveling by airplane, have you noticed “how” as the flight attendants (stewardess) are busily explaining all the mandatory flight procedures, at least 90-98% of the passengers are doing anything but paying attention to what’s being said!
It’s sort of the same thing when comes to actively participating in surveys paid or otherwise.
But here’s the thing; why waste your hard earned dollars trying to get your best paying customers and or clients to “take” a survey of some kind, when there’s a much simpler and far more (proven) scientific way to get them to tell you exactly what you need to know in order to get them to do x or y. Meaning; whatever the desired response is you want.
Why not put your business, product and or service in the position to do just that. Without at least 95% of the traditional hassle and or expense? So “what” exactly is this “so called” secret low cost strategy that’s suppose to magically make all this happen for practically a song? By all means do read on in order to find out….
Three Simple Reasons Why You Really Don’t Need To Spend A Fortune Using Expensive Paid Surveys!
Improving overall response rates!
That’s why some extremely savvy marketers invented good old fashion (tried and true) A/B split testing. Hold on, because you’re probably thinking (yea) I already know about (and) perhaps you’ve even bothered using this incredibly powerful marketing technique before now.
(If so, big congrats! You’re definitely on the right track!)
But here’s “why” I’m emphasizing the effective on going use of this incredibly versatile (and potentially) profitable marketing tool.For ex: let’s say you’re going to (offline) snail mail 10,000 post cards and or newsletters/sales letters to your list.
Rather than speculate on which main power headline is the most appealing and or produces the most bang for your buck.
A simple A/B split testing campaign can and will reveal which one works best and second and third best etc! But here’s the 800 LB gorilla in the room with that proven approach. If you’re a fortune 100 and or 500 company, you can simply keep writing checks and tweaking and tracking as you go.And eventually you’ll (probably) hit pay dirt.
Meaning; you’ll know after three or four rather expensive (inexpensive) snail mailings, what the most responsive this or that is.
However; online, just depending on which paid autoresponder service that you’re currently using, you can and should take advantage of their A/B split testing feature.
1.)Reason # one: Don’t wanna (or worst yet!), can’t afford multiple offline snail mailings, in order to scientifically determine which of your carefully crafted benefit laden subject lines actually pulls best?
So do a simple A/B split test to a part of your list. Because remember, you don’t and shouldn’t mail to your entire list, in order to discover which X does Y etc. In fact, (aweber) my paid autoresponder of choice suggests that as long as you have at least one hundred opt in subscribers, (be they single or double opt in), that’s enough to place real value on the results.
Or lack there of! But at least you’ll know that your subscribers will have spoken, by how little or how much they respond to your A/B split “test” subject line (s.)
2.) Reason # two: Still not totally convinced which “CTA” ( Call To Action) actually produces the most profitable/trouble free response? Again, (hopefully) your paid autoresponder of choice will help you decide!
And just in case your fairly (or totally brand new) to any type of proven successful Internet marketing (best practices.) You can not use the A/B split test feature with practically any of free versions of any particular autoresponder service!
Hey,it’s this type of paid feature that helps separate the pros from the Joe’s! But again, when you send your emails on multiple mailings, it’s still under your same current monthly price! Of less of course you add more subscribers and bump yourself up to a higher rate! Think about that for a second!
You’re inexpensively finding out (what?) to either eliminate altogether and or what to continue and strategically expand upon! And your monthly costs haven’t increased one thin nickel!
(Eat your heart out corporate America!)
3.) Reason # three: Not sure if the use of “personalization” really matters to your particular list and or niche etc. Why speculate in order to find out. Set up a simple A/B split email campaign and find out.
So you send a certain percentage of your list offer A that has some sort of personalization and offer B that does not. And simply track your results. Or you can continue go the rather expensive route of your major competitors. That being just flying by the seat of costly speculation!
At least these three proven reasons offer you an extremely viable alternative. So no matter “how” you slice it, you really don’t need to blow a fortune on paid surveys!
