While pre-event survey questions might be more common, also sending out post-event survey questions can help to gather more information about how the experience actually went.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might wonder: what questions are good to ask on a post-event survey?

Events can include any gathering from a small volunteer opportunity or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blogs\/newsblog\/2018\/08\/17\/fundraising-ideas\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fundraiser<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a company-wide training or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/conference-planning\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conference<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, either in-person or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/virtual-conference\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-event surveys are helpful if your organization is interested in learning about attendees and their expectations for the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mid-event surveys often tackle an organization\u2019s in-the-moment need to gauge the success of an event, as well as let attendees know their feedback is valued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, post-event surveys provide insight into the pros and cons of the event, allowing you to fine-tune your processes for the next time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">Why are Event Surveys Important?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are definite benefits to surveying before, during, and after an event, many organizations choose to send just one event survey to avoid overwhelming event stakeholders. However, pre-event surveys and post-event surveys serve different purposes, and utilizing both can arm your organization with the information it needs\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing to implement <\/span><b>pre-event surveys<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build excitement for your event to increase engagement and attendance\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn about your audience and discover insights on guest demographics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tailor your event to give members the experience they want<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminate guesswork so you know the expectations before the event begins<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right questions, a pre-event survey can help event planners know the expectations of the event, how to cater to the needs of guests, get members excited for the event, and be the overall guide when building event details.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing to implement <\/span><b>post-event surveys <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can help you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build trust between members and your organization<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get feedback from your attendees, event donors, volunteers, staff and more<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve future events to ensure they\u2019re a success every time<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right questions, a post-event survey can gauge the overall success of an event, provide invaluable data about everything from the speakers to the foods and location, and leave an organization with action items for the next event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are, some of the feedback from after event survey questions will be positive, and some of it will leave you feeling a bit defeated. Just remember; all feedback is valuable because it helps you adapt and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How To Write, Structure, &amp; Send Your Post-Event Surveys<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019re ready to create a post-event survey, you\u2019ll want to craft one that will achieve the results you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Survey Monkey, respondents are more likely to finish <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/curiosity\/survey_completion_times\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shorter surveys<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it\u2019s best to keep your survey between one and ten questions if possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to get your questions answered is to place shorter questions at the top of the survey and those that take more time and thought at the bottom. That way, respondents will feel as though it won\u2019t take them very much time and will be happy to continue answering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to what type of questions to ask after an event, ideally, you want to use multiple types. Some sample event survey questions include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Yes or No:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you need a simple yes or no answer, a dichotomous question is for you. It&#8217;s great to include an option for respondents to expand on their answer, particularly if they answered \u201cno.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rating: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking respondents to rate on a scale is an easy way to gauge positive or negative sentiments<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Multiple Choice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re looking to compare results across several events or want respondents to choose from a list of pre-selected options, multiple choice questions are ideal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Open-ended questions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These questions give your respondents the freedom to express their opinion and provides context for some of the respondent\u2019s previous answers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Comment box: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Including an open-ended question at the end of your survey for any comments is a simple way to gain additional feedback from respondents<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s important to include several types of questions on your event survey, the most essential tip is to be clear when crafting your questions. If each respondent interprets the same question differently, you may end up with results that will make it harder to draw concrete solutions and next steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your survey is created, the next step is sending it out to respondents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most organizations <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/articles\/getting-started-with-online-surveys\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distribute surveys online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 this is a common route, as digital surveys are easy to distribute and response rates can be higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some choose to send a physical copy along with a return envelope through direct mail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do decide to go the more popular online route, there are multiple free or reasonably priced software programs, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Survey Monkey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/forms\/about\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Forms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.typeform.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typeform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These can be a cost-effective way to get feedback, especially if you\u2019ve already invested in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/event-management-software\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">event management software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these online survey creators have event-specific templates, which you can fine-tune to meet your event and organization\u2019s specific data needs. Once you\u2019ve completed the survey, distribute it online through:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embedding on your website<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>How To Encourage Event Survey Engagement<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truth be told, distributing the survey isn\u2019t the hard part; it\u2019s encouraging folks to respond that often stumps staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To encourage responses, try the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Send the post-event survey out no later than 48 hours after the event.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure you\u2019re sending out each event survey to the right audience.
