Social Media SurveysEncourage Community Engagement with Social Media SurveysSocial media platforms enable you to create and engage communities online. Growing by

attraction, these communities connect ever greater numbers of like-minded people who share

opinions, ideas, and information of interest with one another.

The networks that evolve on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest,

Foursquare, Google Plus might include the very audiences your business serves. And at some

point, you may want to ask for their feedback. For example, let’s say your company is planning

to introduce a new mobile app and wants to do a little more market research. You might

consider posting a short survey on Facebook and offering a 50 percent discount to the first 50

customers who complete it for you.

You can use a host of SurveyMonkey social media survey templates to find out which platforms

your target audiences and communities prefer. Once you know which networks are most

effective for reaching the people you want to hear from, you can then choose from an

exhaustive collection of SurveyMonkey templates to create questionnaires for any purpose

imaginable. Your surveys can be embedded directly on Facebook, or shared as a link on

Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Google Plus and in an email.

How to Use Social Media Surveys

To understand which social media channels are most effective for reaching your market

segment, first explore how they use social media. Already know where to find your target

audiences? Share your market research, lead generation, customer loyalty, and customer

feedback surveys there.

Social media channels assessments. Do your clients and customers use the Internet and social

networks? If so, which ones? Are they on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Foursquare,

Google Plus—or all of the above? How often do they participate in these communities, and for

what purposes? What devices do they use to connect, and how likely are they to engage as a

consumer? A mobile user will engage with your products very differently than someone who

primarily accesses the Internet from Mac or Windows desktop. Use this information to build your

digital marketing strategy, including which types of content to deliver (video, blogposts, images,

infographics, how to, or other), how long to run promotions, and which key influencers to target

Influencer strategies. Identify the key influencers in your business or social networks, and design

strategies to engage them to amplify your messages. Invite them to write a guest product

review, or ask them to participate in a podcast panel discussion. Develop content and social

media marketing that includes their third-party perspective on your company, product, or service

to foster authentic conversations.

Amplification. Improve survey response rates by asking members of your online networks to

complete and encourage others to complete your questionnaires on Facebook, Twitter,

LinkedIn, or Pinterest. Extend the reach of your survey by asking your contacts to like, post,

tweet, pin, plus or otherwise share it with their social or professional networks.

Near real-time feedback. Invite your networks to provide honest and immediate feedback. For

example, ask members to try out a new smartphone and online app you’re developing and

share their thoughts about the user interface and experience. Include an incentive to encourage

them to complete your survey.

Customer satisfaction and loyalty. As your number of fans or followers increases and you build

your relationships with customers and clients on social networks, poll these communities to find

out what they think of their experience with your business. Thank them for this valuable

feedback with incentives and loyalty rewards.

Community engagement. Use polling and surveys to add an element of fun to the conversation.

People love to take fun surveys that give them insight about themselves; use things like dating

or love surveys to build community engagement and interest and leave members more

receptive to your next idea, promotion, or request.

Sample Online Social Media Survey Templates

Use one of our sample questionnaires as is, or customize it for your purposes. Or build your

own surveys using our many different survey question types.

General Internet Usage

Are your customers, clients, or other audiences on the Internet? How often? What devices do

they use to connect and where? What purposes do they typically use the Internet for—personal

or business? If they were to use the web for one purpose only, what would it be?

Mobile or Cell Phone  and App Use

Learn more about your target audience’s mobile phone and app use. If they use the Internet or

Web applications, do your audiences use them on mobile or cell phones? Are they big smart

phone users, and frequent consumers of new applications? Do they own an iPhone, Android,

Blackberry, or Windows phone? How often do they use their phones to access their online

social networks? Are they inclined to buy apps often, and if so, what kind of apps? Use this

feedback to decide if your business should develop and offer a mobile app too.

Media Usage

How often does your audience watch movies or TV shows streamed online? Would it make

sense to integrate more video advertising and promotions into your online communications or

marketing plans?

Online Storage Sites

Which sites do your customers use? How often? How often do they download and upload to

them? Are they hesitant about storing particular data online? Consider consumers’ and B2B

customers’ responses to these questions as you develop online and mobile applications.

Online Social Networking

Which sites do your audiences frequent? And how often? What are their primary purposes for

using these sites? Which site are they MOST likely to use, if they were to use only one?

Evaluate which channels to use in your social media marketing campaigns.

Corporate Social Media

Find out which social media buttons a company includes on their website and which drive the

most online traffic for them. Use this information to baseline and measure traffic as a result of

specific social media activities.

Professional Networking Sites

How often do your B2B customers frequent professional networking sites? Learn which of these

sites might be good for introducing interactive thought leadership campaigns to build awareness

about your company or the business solutions you offer.

Facebook

Find out how your customers, clients, or other audiences use Facebook. Are they actively

engaged, frequent visitors? Or occasional drop-ins? Do they use Facebook mainly to connect

with friends and family, or are they members of other interest groups too? Customize this survey

for any social network application.

Twitter

How often do your customers and clients tweet or check their feeds? Is Twitter a good place for

your brief news flashes or short promotions? Find out about your respondents’ usage to decide

if Twitter is a good channel for your purposes.

Pinterest

Ask respondents if they’re regular Pinterest users, and if many of their friends are also on

Pinterest. Do they use it often? Have many pins? How many pins currently have prices

attached? How did they sign up for Pinterest? Use this information for planning survey-driven

product promotions.

Blogging

Find out what blogs your target audience posts to and reads regularly. Identify respondents who

might be potential amplifiers of your messages, as part of your community engagement

strategies.

Online Interest Sharing

Learn about the interest-sharing sites your audiences are using, and how frequently, and decide

whether it makes sense to engage there to promote your product or service.

Online Video Viewing

Which video viewing sites does your audience visit most frequently? You might be surprised to

learn that Youtube is not the only video site your audience uses. What channels and programs

are they most likely to watch? If you’re planning online advertising or marketing, use this

feedback to decide which of these channels might be most effective for your target audiences.

3 Quick Tips to Improve Survey Response Rates

Here are some ideas for ensuring that respondents will answer your surveys.

1. Be quick. If your survey is short and sweet, there’s a greater chance that more respondents will

complete it.

2. Offer incentives. Little incentives like a small discount or an entry into a drawing can help ensure

that respondents complete your survey.

3. Buy a Targeted Audience. With SurveyMonkey Audience, you can purchase access to an

audience who meets specific demographic criteria for your survey. It’s a great way to get

targeted responses from a specific group.

2. Social networking sites like My Space, Facebook and Twitter can

be great resources for staying in touch with friends, but they

should never become a substitute for physical interaction with

others.

3. Unfortunately for many people, checking in on social networking

sites takes up a lot of their spare time and sometimes can even

become a bit of an addiction.

4. To help you determine if you use social networking sites

appropriately we have put together the questionnaire below.

Answer "yes" or "no" to each question and then total your

answers to determine if you are addicted to social networking

sites.

5. Questionnaire6. 1. Are you a member of multiple social networking sites?

2. Do you visit your social networking sites with no goal or specific purpose in mind?

3. Are you usually surprised by how much time you spend on a social networking site?

4. Have you ever said no to an activity with your family or friends because of social networking sites?

5. Have you ever ignored a responsibility like homework or

chores because of social networking sites?6. Do you ever stay up late or get up early to spend more time on

social networking sites?7. Have you ever hidden your time on social networking sites

from family or friends?8. Have you ever used social networking sites when a parent or

teacher has told you not to?9. Do you prefer to interact with people on social networking

sites rather than face to face?10. Has anyone ever commented on how much time you spend

on social networking sites?11. Do you have more friends on your social networking sites

than you do in your real life?12. Do you become frustrated or angry when a social networking

site goes down or is unavailable?

Are You Addicted to Social Networking Sites?

If you answered "yes" to between one and four questions then you are most likely not addicted to social networking sites. You probably use social networking sites to extend your relationships with family and friends but recognise that keeping up with these sites are less important than strengthening the relationships that exist outside of the Internet. You're likely very choosy about who you are friends with on social networking sites and realise the dangers of allowing strangers to view your personal information. If you continue these patterns you should have no problems with becoming addicted to social networking sites.

If you answered "yes" to between five and eight questions then you

may be addicted to social networking sites. For the next week try to

write down every time you visit a social networking site and how long

you spend on it. If you want to, also include information on what you

did while you used the site. You might want to take note of any time

someone else mentions your use of social networking sites as well. At

the end of the week total your notes to determine how much of your

life you really spend on social networking sites. You might be

surprised by the results.

If you answered "yes" to nine or more questions then you are likely to

be addicted to social networking sites. Your use of these sites is most

likely getting in the way of your real life and you may even be using

them as a substitute for getting out and making friends, or nurturing

the friendships that you already have. Try to wean yourself off of

social networking sites by spending less time on them each day, and

more time on activities away from the computer. Join a club at school,

take up a new hobby, study somewhere without Internet access or

organise an activity for your family or friends. With so much going on

in your life your enthusiasm for social networking sites will be no doubt

soon fade on its own.

Stress Relief for TeensFrom school work to spots, dating to drugs, bullying to body issues, sometimes it seems like today's teens have more to feel stressed about than ever before.

But this stress doesn't have to pile up until it feels out of control. Instead, teens can acknowledge the stress in their lives for what it is and proactively decide to seek methods of relief.

Very often teens find stress relief after thinking a situation through, talking about their feelings and options, learning the ways in which they feel most comfortable and able to cope, and getting enough rest to be able to deal most efficiently with stress in the future.

Thinking It Through

One of the worst things about stress is that it makes every situation feel immediate. You have to decide right now if you want to engage in underage drinking. You must be able to put together an outfit for tomorrow night's date while making dinner and studying for exams.

You can't possibly put off planning your birthday party until next month - when your birthday actually occurs. It can be hard to stop and take a breath, but recognising that you can't do everything at once is often the first step to finding stress relief.

Allow yourself time to go somewhere private and think through what is bothering you. Make a list of what you need to address, and even schedule specific tasks into a diary. It can seem surprising that you may well have time for everything, or that you can prioritise activities and no longer worry about those that don't truly matter. The more adept you become at taking this time out the less surprising these results will be.

Talking It OutWhen you've thought through a stressful situation you often come to realise that you have a few options in how to proceed. If you feel comfortable, find a friend, relative or trusted adult with which to share your views of what you can do. Very often bringing someone else into the mix means seeing the situation through a fresh pair of eyes, so you may end up discovering even more options or discovering unexpected strengths or flaws in your plan.

Also, when you are asked to explain your thoughts and feelings you may be surprised by what you actually say. This can be a fantastic opportunity for learning more about your own true preferences and comfort levels.

Learning to CopeCoping with stress is an on-going process, but the more you address stress the more you learn your preferred methods of coping. Some teens turn to destructive behaviours to deal with stress, such as smoking, drinking, doing drugs and engaging in disordered eating.

Other teens turn to productive behaviours such as taking light exercise, improving their diet, consulting with adults and allowing their creativity to shine through in writing, painting, drawing, music and more. Recognising the

productive behaviours that can help you work through stress, while at the same time avoiding destructive behaviours, should allow you to become more efficient at stress relief in the future.

Sleeping Through It AllIt's true that situations seem intensely stressful when you are tired, so regardless of the situation it's always smart to remember that things may well look different in the morning. Set aside your worries for the next day and try to get some rest. Once you've slept you may well find that you can look more objectively at a situation, find new options for reconciling the situation, and feel more confident in your chosen path. Getting regular rest will also help you deal with stress as it arises so it is less likely that it will spiral out of control again.

Stress is often a constant in teen's lives, but there are ways for teens to deal with it and move past it. Thinking a situation through, talking about the situation and perceived options, learning the most comfortable ways to cope and getting enough rest are all methods by which teens can relieve their stress.

Keeping Up With Current Affairs

Sometimes current affairs feel as if they are worlds away from our daily lives. What does it matter about how many jobs are opening in The City if you can't find something part time to save your life? What does it matter if there is a war on another continent if you're engaged in a war at home every evening? What does it matter if women in other countries can't vote when neither can you? It matters a lot, as it so happens! In our globalised world current affairs everywhere have a huge impact on our lives, most of the time without us even realising it. To see this effect in action, make sure you pick up the paper now and again and connect it with events in your local community. When patterns emerge, you'll be glad you did.

The Butterfly Effect

You may have heard that when a butterfly flaps its wings somewhere, a storm is created somewhere else. This idea is an example of how interconnected the world really is - an action in one part will almost certainly cause a reaction in another. If you don't believe it, have a look at these examples: Draught makes wheat scarce and the price of bread rises.

Oil runs dry and the price of your holiday flights soar. Civil war increases the number of refugees and a hostel opens in your

town. Armed conflicts need peacekeepers and your military answers the call. A change in national government causes your local school to change its

meals.

Tracking the NewsIn order to understand the relationships between events occurring everywhere in the world, you need to know about the events occurring everywhere in the world. Keep up with current affairs by:

Purchasing newspapers. Reading the news online. Watching daily news bulletins. Exploring news and current affairs magazines

Getting InvolvedIt is obvious that current affairs anywhere in the world could potentially affect your life, no matter where or how you live it. The only way to take back some control is to get involved. You don't have to plan to be the next Prime Minister, but if you are concerned about something, do something about it. Consider:

Voting with your money and purchasing only products you believe in. Adding your name to a petition. Organising or attending a local rally. Volunteering for a cause you support. Getting involved in a political campaign you hope will be successful.

Studying the subject further and considering a career in the area.Keeping up with current affairs is not something to do if you have time; it is something for which you make time. Every day we have the chance to witness history in the making, but many of us let television, games, gossip and other frivolity get in the way. Pledge to give at least a half hour of each day towards reading the news, exploring current affairs and finding ways to make your thoughts and feelings known.
