Implementing surveys = a powerful marketing strategy

ResponseSuite is a marketing automation system that allows you to gather data from people who complete a survey. The answers from the survey integrate with your email marketing platform and filter people into different email campaigns. It can be used in multiple ways.

You can integrate it into your website.

A survey can be used in an email marketing campaign.

ResponseSuite can independently host a survey for you.

Rob & Kennedy state that it’s easy to use and basically “Darla proof”! If you’re still unsure, they offer a 14-day trial where you can schedule a 20-minute phone call where they walk you through how to create a survey!

How does this help you serve clients?

Rob & Kennedy point out that there are three things you want to gauge from a potential client: What stage they’re in, their aspirations, and the biggest (design) challenge they face. Answering these questions can help you properly segment potential clients into categories for marketing campaigns. Some of the ways you can segment people include:

By hot or cold leads

What style of design they like

Different budget categories

Biggest challenges faces

They state that it would be advantageous to offer a range of budget categories in a survey question—including ranges that are too low for you to work with. Why? You can create different pages for a potential client to land based on their answer(s).

For example, If the budget is too low, you can offer them a PDF resource, DIY guide, or even referrals to other designers. If they select a budget option that would be a perfect fit for you, they can be directed to a calendar to schedule a conversation with you. It’s genius! It’s an easy let-down for client’s who aren’t a good fit, without an awkward phone call or email.
