Video Surveys

Example questions and a template for collecting market research videos from your customers, prospects, or research panels.

Overview


Why create video surveys?

Video provides a richer medium for understanding feedback from your customers, prospects or research panels about your product or service than you can get with traditional text surveys. Video surveys are often created to validate new messaging, product ideas or even company concepts before launch.

Do you want to start remotely collecting and publishing video surveys without the time & expense of a camera crew or video editors? Then this video survey template will be perfect for you.

What's in the template

We developed this video collector template to be a complete, easy-to-use solution for your respondents to record and upload video testimonials for your organization from any device.

We provide a delightful interface that matches your brand and works seamlessly on Mac, PC, iPhone, Android, and tablets. There's nothing for you – or your respondents – to download or install. All you need to do is share a link to start collecting great video surveys.

Sample 3-touch email sequence

When inviting people to give you video surveys via email, we recommend a 3-email sequence. Variations of this email sequence have been used successfully in hundreds of video-request campaigns by Vocal Video customers.

The first email in the sequence is a pre-ask – asking if they'd be open to recording a short video testimonial and thanking them in advance. The second email includes the link to the video collector, a brief explanation of the process, the questions they'll be asked to respond to, and some recording tips. The third email in the sequence is a gentle reminder to block out time to record.

Adapt this sequence to your use case, incentives, and your collector's actual questions, and fire away!

Email #1: The Pre-Ask

We need your feedback

We’re gathering feedback on a new concept at {account_name}}.

Would you be open to recording a short video on this concept in the next week? We’re collecting video with a tool called Vocal Video, so it should be very easy and only take 5-10 minutes. The recording can be done from your phone or laptop.

Please let me know and I’ll send the link and the questions right over.

Thanks so much!

Email #2: The Invitation

Your video

Thanks so much for agreeing to record a short video with your insights!

Here are the details on recording a video - it should take 5-10 minutes altogether. Just click here to record your video: https://vocalvideo.com/c/vocal-video-impact-of-video-testimonials

The 3 questions that we'd like you to answer are:
1. How would this new feature from [your organization name] impact your business?
2. What kinds of things would you like to see in new offerings from [your organization name]?
3. How likely are you to recommend [your organization name] to a friend?

Here are a couple of tips:
1) Pick a quiet and well lit place
2) Avoid having windows or a light source in the background of your shot since that will create glare
3) Look directly at the camera
3) Relax and be yourself - you'll do great!

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again!

Email #3: The Reminder

quick reminder - your video

I just wanted to bump this to the top of your inbox to see when you might be able to carve out 5-10 mins to record a short video.

Here's the link to record your video - you can record any time it’s convenient for you from your phone or laptop: https://vocalvideo.com/c/vocal-video-impact-of-video-testimonials
