Following our recent How to Write a Survey workshop, we’ve updated and expanded some of the accompanying toolkits so that anyone can access the practical advice shared on the day.

Sending a survey sounds simple. Getting the right people to complete it is another matter entirely.

This practical toolkit explores the different ways you can distribute a survey, helping you choose the right approach for your audiences, your resources and your goals. F

rom e-mail and social media to QR codes, tablets and paper surveys, we’ll walk through the strengths and limitations of each method and share practical tips to help improve response rates.

Drawing on Thrive’s experience delivering audience research across Northern Ireland’s arts and heritage sector, the guide also covers survey software, incentives, audience targeting and common pitfalls that can affect the quality of your data.

Whether you’re gathering feedback after an event, evaluating a project or contributing to IMPACT research, this toolkit will help you get your survey in front of the people whose views matter most.
