To collect user feedback via text message, businesses can leverage SMS surveys, a cost-effective method of gathering data quickly and efficiently. According to the Twilio Customer Experience team, SMS surveys are best used for timely and recent events, as they offer an immediate communications channel with a high open rate. Before building an SMS survey, it's essential to determine your goals, research existing data, and consider factors such as sample size, timing, and permissions. Keep messages concise, make questions quantifiable, and provide an option to opt-out. Businesses can use SMS surveys for various purposes, including collecting feedback on events and workshops, customer engagement, voting, and health-related topics like COVID-19 contact tracing. To build an SMS survey, start with a template in Twilio Studio, customize questions, and test the flow before sending it to your audience.
