After sending out a preliminary questionnaire to individuals via our school e-mail system, I was able to see for myself what questions would help me have a better understanding of my target audience. I initially sent out my questionnaire in Microsoft Word format. The reason for this is because I could publish posts directly from the word document. Furthermore, I could configure Office Word to link directly to my blogger webpage. Here is the following link to the Microsoft website - (https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Microsoft-Office-Word-2007-Top-10-Benefits-1757d862-2ba1-4db3-b4d5-9cfb3d9a875a?CorrelationId=decf034b-72f6-4b23-b093-71512b065221&ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB)
As well as this, releasing a preliminary questionnaire meant I was able to acknowledge where I could make improvements to questions asked. Below, is a screenshot of one of the questions asked -
As you can see, I didn't ask the participant a specific time scale regarding when they purchased a film within store. This meant that this question was an anomaly as those that answered were unsure what number option to select. From this, I learnt to improve the questionnaire and be careful when wording the questions I would like answered.
Because of this, I have chosen to use SurveyMonkey. SurveyMonkey is an online survey development cloud company that provides free, customisable surveys that help with data analysis, sample selection, bias elimination, and data representation.
