Ask500People – CrowdSource Your Feedback

It’s hard to separate yourself from the multitude of survey web apps available, but Ask500People.com has put a new spin on the way surveys are asked and answered.  Whereas most surveys require you to distribute it via email or post on your website, Ask500People engages its multitude of existing users to get your question answered.

This approach certainly has a side effect of surveying people with no knowledge of your brand, but depending on the question that could be a good thing. Creating the survey is simple and requires just three steps.  The first step is to enter your question and possible answers.  The second step is to choose your sample size which can range from 15 to 1,000.  Pricing varies depending on how many people you get answers from and if you want to restrict the sample based on geography.  The final step is to pay for the one-time survey and then you just sit back and see as people answer your survey question in just a few hours.

Pricing ranges from $9 for 50 votes to $269 for 1,000 votes asked just in the U.S.

3 Reasons You Should Consider Ask500People:

• You are seeking responses to an answer that you can’t post to your existing email group or website visitors.
• You are wanting feedback on a logo or illustration from a large group of people and have no other means of reaching that many people that quickly.
• You want to ask a question anonymously, but want to get a large enough data group to validate your decision.

3 Reasons You Wouldn’t Need Ask500People:

• You already have mechanisms in place to survey your audience and don’t want to spend the extra money that Ask500People charges.
• You need to ask questions that are even more geographically specific than Ask500People allows for (World and USA are only two choices).
• You need answers to questions that require a bit of context or background work, which strangers will not have about your company.
