numbers of questions on surveys
« on: March 12, 2010, 02:57:55 pm »
i think some research should be done to let people know how long the survey may take. Some of them are unreal in their survey questions.

That's not a bad idea.. They do give a general description saying it can be from 5-30 minutes, but I know some surveys have taken me well over an hour. Then again sometimes I luck out and get a 10 minute one. So I guess it evens out.

Yes, I agree. It would be nice to know where those surveys are going

FusionCash has nothing to do with the types of surveys offered in the daily survey offers, nor how long they take.  Still, on the daily offers page, they mention above the offers the average time it takes to do the surveys, probably based on either a) user experience or b) what the companies themselves have told them.

For a better estimate on time, suggestions should be made to the actual companies providing the surveys to make an attempt to mention at the start (after they know you have qualified) a good estimate of how long it may take, so you have the choice whether you want to proceed or not.

Market research companies are unlikely to tell you how long the survey will take, because like you said, some people will close out at that point.  They want to get as many survey completions as possible and they know that if they told you it was 45 minutes upfront you might not even try it.  I know this doesn't lend itself to the best user experience, but since these guys write the checks that pay FC and its members, they pretty much get to do what they want.
