Smileys Survey guide

The Smileys Survey allows you to build surveys that ask your customers how satisfied they are with your organisation. The survey contains a two part question to measure the satisfaction of your customers. Firstly, customers select one of five distinctive faces ranging from Very happy to Very unhappy then they have the opportunity to answer a follow-up question. Both the smileys question and the free-text question can be customised using your own words. There is also the opportunity to add an additional question of your own. You can tailor the title, the logo for your organisation, and enter a custom thank you note.

The responses to the survey will help you understand how your customers feel, assisting you in improving and prioritising your business or organisation needs.
