Case Study: From "Unnoticed" to "High Participation"

Independent Game Studio Player Feedback Case: An independent game studio's "pixel adventure game" was in the testing phase and wanted to collect player feedback on "game bugs". In the past, feedback was collected through "forum posts", but there were very few responses. After using SurveyMars' combination of voting and questionnaires:

1. First, launch a vote: A popup in the game asks, "What is the most common problem you encounter? A. Crash B. Lag C. Uncompletable tasks D. Others". Players can vote in 1 second, and over 1,000 votes were collected within 2 days. "Uncompletable tasks" won with a 65% support rate.

2. Then, launch a questionnaire: Targeting "uncompletable tasks", a questionnaire was designed with questions including "Which task are you stuck on?", "How many times have you tried to solve it?", "How do you hope to improve this task?", and it allowed uploading game screenshots.

After collecting the feedback, the studio quickly fixed the bugs. After the update, the player retention rate increased from 40% to 70%, and some players feedbacked, "I didn't expect the studio would really listen to our opinions; I will always support it."

Nonprofit Organization "Food Rescue" Donor Demand Case: A nonprofit organization "Food Rescue" mainly helps poor families by "donating food", but the donation amount grew slowly. After using SurveyMars' questionnaire, it was found that the core needs of donors are "knowing where the donated food goes" and "hoping for more donation forms". Questionnaire design:

Trust building: "Which link of donated food are you most concerned about? A. Whereabouts B. Quality C. Distribution efficiency D. Number of people covered";

Demand mining: "Which donation form do you hope to add? (Multiple choices allowed) A. Monetary donation B. Food donation C. Meal set donation D. Volunteer service";

Feedback incentive: "Leave your contact information to receive a 'donation impact report' (e.g., 'Your donation has helped 10 families')".

The questionnaire results showed that 80% of donors care about "where the food goes", and 72% hope to add "meal set donation". The organization then launched a "meal set donation" project and regularly sent "donation impact reports". The donation amount increased by 40%, and the number of new donors increased by 35%.

SurveyMars Toolkit: Making Participation Easier

To help votes and questionnaires better improve participation, SurveyMars provides comprehensive functional support, from creation to distribution, to result analysis, with every step designed for "high participation":

Quick creation and visual design: Supports draganddrop operations, generating votes/questionnaires within 60 seconds; provides rich visual elements such as emojis, pictures, and GIFs, and allows customizing background colors and fonts to make votes/questionnaires more attractive. For example, when creating a "festival vote", you can add festivalrelated pictures to enhance the atmosphere.

Realtime tracking and participation reminders: Provides a realtime dashboard that updates "number of participants" and "voting progress" (how many people have voted so far) like stock quotes, allowing you to keep track of feedback dynamics at any time; supports setting "participation reminders", such as "12 hours left until the vote ends, 200 people have participated, looking forward to your opinion!", sent via SMS, email, and inapp notifications to improve participation rates.

Multiplatform adaptation and distribution: support "QR code voting/questionnaires", suitable for offline scenarios (such as stores, event venues); the generated content is adapted to mobile and PC terminals, ensuring that users of different devices can participate conveniently.

Data security and compliance guarantee: Supports anonymous participation to protect user privacy; automatically handles voting requirements (what are the voting requirements), such as setting "only registered users can participate" and "each user only once" to avoid vote brushing; complies with personal information protection laws, GDPR and other compliance requirements, so there is no need to worry about legal risks.
