Tip #7

“Ensure you’re asking the right questions in both content and question type. Example: Use radio buttons when possible so respondents can see all their choices versus typing or selecting from a drop-down menu. More straightforward forms = higher completion rates and faster time to completion.” —Paul Lazatin, Head of Partnerships
Tip #8

“Thoroughly test your integrations to make sure you catch and resolve any potential errors before going live with your form.” —Katy Lash, Implementation Manager
Tip #9

Tip #10

Tip #11
