Most surveys go wrong before anyone answers. Someone copies a template with twelve sensible questions, and no guest reads as far as number nine.
Start with the decisions you need for next time, like whether to book the same venue or start later. Write one question per decision, three to five in total. Guests came to have fun, so keep it light.
The first question decides whether anyone answers the second. Make it a poll or a rating a thumb can do in a second.
In a MyWrap album, questions sit right next to the photos and guests answer without leaving the page. Every extra screen loses people, so save the hard questions for later.
“How was the food and the music?” is two questions. If someone loved one and hated the other, they'll guess or skip it.
Keep questions small and concrete. “Was the talk the right length?” gets an answer you can use. Balance the answer options too, with as many ways to say it went badly as well.
One at a time
A survey link a week later lands next to the electricity bill. The best time is the next morning, when guests are back in the album looking for photos of themselves.
Have the questions live before you message guests that their photos are up. A small raffle for anyone who answers helps more than a stern reminder.
Polls tell you what happened. One open question tells you why, so put it last, where it only reaches people already in a helpful mood.
Make it easy to answer in a sentence, like “What was your favourite moment?” That's where your best quotes live, so read every answer.
Three quick ones. Tap an answer to see how everyone else replied. We read every answer, it shapes what we build next.
What you wish this guide covered, what drives you mad about event photos, anything. Read by the people building MyWrap.
Questions and lines to lift for your next event.
“1. How would you rate today, from 1 to 5? 2. Was the talk the right length? (Too short, about right or too long) 3. Would you come to the next one? (Yes, maybe or no) 4. What was your favourite moment?”
“Morning! Your photos are up in the album. There are two quick questions in there too, if you have 30 seconds. Everyone who answers goes in the raffle.”
“What would make you come back next time? One sentence is perfect.”
Good questions are short and specific, and each one feeds a decision. A rating, whether they'd come back and one open question about their favourite moment cover most events.
Three to five questions is plenty for guests. If you want more, ask which decision each extra one helps with.
Send it the morning after, while the event is fresh. Asking inside the album works well, because guests are already there for their photos.
Make the first question one tap and keep the list short. A small raffle gives people a reason to answer.
Mostly multiple choice, since it's fast and easy to compare. Keep one open question at the end for the reasons and quotes.
