Mobile surveys are the way of the future!

Yes! I said it, mobile surveys are the way of the future!

I've been dabbling in a few myself. What are they? Well the secrets in the name ;)

Mobile surveys are electronic surveys run online and submitted via your mobile phone / cell phone. Much the same as web surveys, they share the same data capture functions - radio buttons, text fields, check boxes - which is great for structured data collection! The reason I think they are that great is that you can have your answers from the field, and you can get feedback really quickly - with most answers coming through within 1 hour after the request. You can plug in an sms solution to send the link to the phone and run competitions and things through this medium. To top off all of the above, it shows signs of being environmentally friendly!

I could go on and on about it, or you could simply try it yourself!
