Designing a Questionnaire
Before using a questionnaire you should be able to answer three questions:
• Who will you be asking?
• What do you need to find out?
• Why are you asking these questions?

Things You Could Ask About
• How often do they buy the product?
• What price are they prepared to pay?
• What is the most important factor when deciding?
• Which of these do you like the best?
• …

The Time Trade-Off
• If you ask all the questions you are interested in it will make the questionnaire too long
• Only include the questions you really need

Targeting?
• If you are sure of your market segment you could target who to ask to answer your questionnaire
• Then demographic questions don’t have to be asked (is there another way?)
• But it might be too early to decide on your market segment …

Clarity
• It is CRUCIAL that all questions (and introductory patter) are perfectly clear
• Questions often need to be broken down into stages so that they are simple and clearly asking ONE THING

Questions
• Mix of ‘Closed’ and ‘Open’ questions
• Multiple-choice questions
• Include ‘Other’ to capture data
• Make sure categories don’t overlap
• Make sure they are logically watertight
• Try to minimise writing time and maximise ‘time with target’
