Know Customer Needs:Master Polls, Kano, and Maxdiff with SurveyMars

If you’re a small business owner or marketer in the US, you’ve probably asked yourself: “What do my customers actually care about?” Do they want faster shipping, or a better return policy? Would a loyalty program make them stay, or is it just extra noise? Guessing wrong wastes time and money—but there’s a better way. With SurveyMars, you can easily create a poll, use powerful tools like Kano analysis and MaxDiff to dig into customer preferences, and make decisions that actually move the needle. Let’s break down how it works.

Create a Poll in Minutes for Quick, Actionable Insights

Sometimes you don’t need a long survey—you just need a fast answer. That’s where being able to create a poll comes in. Whether you’re deciding between two new product colors, asking if customers prefer email or text updates, or even polling your team on a meeting time, a poll gets you clear results fast. And with SurveyMars, create a poll isn’t just easy—it’s fun.

Use Kano Analysis to Prioritize Customer Needs

Not all customer features are equal. Some are “must-haves” (like a working checkout button on your website), some are “nice-to-haves” (like free stickers with orders), and some are “delighters” (like a handwritten thank-you note). Kano analysis helps you sort these out—so you don’t waste resources on things that don’t matter. And SurveyMars makes Kano simple, even if you’ve never heard of it before.

Master MaxDiff to Find What Customers Value Most

For example, if you’re a gym trying to decide which new class to add (yoga, HIIT, spin, or dance), MaxDiff would show customers pairs of classes and ask them to pick the most and least appealing. SurveyMars then calculates a “value score” for each option—so you might see that HIIT has a score of 85, yoga 70, spin 50, and dance 45. Now you know exactly which class to prioritize. The best part? You don’t need to be a data expert—SurveyMars does all the math and presents results in easy-to-read charts.
