1. What is a Survey report

2. Paves the way for decision making
When you categorize large data into easy to read charts and graphs, it gets converted into useful information. This information is then used by the management to make decisions that will directly affect the company.
For example, let’s say that you performed a product feedback survey to find out the preferences of your target audience.
Based on their answers, the features of your product can be amended.
After all, it’s the people for whom you are making the product, right?
3. Trend is your friend
This is a common saying among surveyors and researchers. It implies that when you ask one question again and again over time, you find a trend of change in the answers.
Thus, survey reports help track trends in the market that also provides insight into what the future could hold.
For instance, if we talk about fashion, bell-bottom jeans were a huge trend in the ’70s. Then, the ’80s saw carrot pants followed by ankle-high skinny jeans in the 90s.
Fashion researchers track these changes and bring back some of the old trends. Bell-bottoms and carrot pants came back and Gen Z is loving it!
4. Helps to gather explicit data
Explicit data in survey terms means first-hand data that is obtained without any tampering in the process. Data often gets contaminated, when it is not received first-hand and transfers through various mediums.
Survey reports help express information fully and clearly without beating around the bush. However, the possibility of a respondent altering the data, lying, or manipulating should be considered.
First-hand data should not be blindly followed. It must be supported by some underlying facts.
With this thought in mind, let’s move to the actual steps required to write a survey report.
