Google Forms
| Tool: | Google Forms: Web-based surveys and other data collection |
| URL: | docs.google.com |
| Key benefit: | Enables you to collect data from customers or others using Web forms… works great for online surveys. The best part is it’s easy to use, no web development or database skills required! |
| Tip: | Try using Google Forms for quick surveys where you want to poll your customers, employees or other stakeholders. Instead of conducting long surveys that your customers may not want to complete, you can collect in shorter bursts with Google Forms, gradually building up a better profile of your customers. Just include the form link in an email then check back later for the survey results.
You can use Google spreadsheets to analyze your resulting data or if you prefer export to MS Excel 2007. Google Forms is great alternative to tools like Survey Monkey and Zoomerang that start off free for limited use but soon start costing you money! |
| Price: | Completely Free! |
| Cyri: | It used to be you would need someone with some database and web development skills to collect data from forms on websites… Google Forms opens this functionality up to the masses! It’s one of the lesser known gems in the Google Docs toolkit. Score: 8/10 |
| Ivan: | This is perfect for small businesses conducting market research. Easy to use and unlocks powerful insights. Score: 9/10 |
