nap Surveys customers choose Snap Survey Software because it gives users the flexibility to run surveys in a range of survey modes, including: paper, paper for scanning, online, mobile, tablet, and kiosk. Depending upon your audience and administration limitations, paper surveys can prove more effective than online surveys for collecting feedback.
Administering paper surveys in conjunction with other survey modes can help boost response rates, particularly if you need to target harder to reach communities or fulfill strict respondent quotas. Snap Survey Software gives you the flexibility to gather and manage feedback based on your individual or organizational needs, as well as the needs of your respondents.

- Paper surveys can be easily distributed via direct mail or in-person distribution.
- Paper surveys can be customized and branded, giving questionnaires a personal touch.
- Designed as a scannable paper questionnaire, your completed questionnaires can be easily scanned for fast and efficient data processing.
