MySpace surveys, are they for you

Surveys are something that business managers or owners, as well as consumers, are well aware of. We have filled them out for businesses who want our opinion on items we have purchased, some of us have filled them out on websites to give our opinion on how useful the website was, and some of us have filled them out for fun, especially if we receive them in our email from friends or family members. Whatever the case may be surveys are an active part of our world, everybody has an opinion and companies want to know what those opinions are.

Surveys are now a part of MySpace.com. You can find numerous surveys, which a variety of topics, to fill out and post on your MySpace profile from numerous websites. Some websites offer surveys that you can create yourself, while others have pre-made surveys. Regardless of which type of survey you choose all you have to do is fill out the survey and generate the code. After generating the code you simply copy and paste the code into your MySpace profile. The best part is you can post it in any section you desire. For example if you fill out a survey about things you like you can post it in your "interests" section, or if you take a survey that tells people about you, you can post it in your "about me" section.

With pre-made surveys you do not get to pick and choose which questions and answers are posted with the survey, although you can elect not to answer certain questions, but whether you answer the question or not, the question will still appear on the survey list, but the answer section will be blank. In creating your own survey you get to choose which questions you want on the survey and some you can even create your own questions. There are even some surveys out there that provide a link to the survey and whoever visits your page and wishes to take the survey can.

Now the question that might come to mind is are the surveys for me. Surveys can be for anybody, but what you need to think about is will the survey enhance my company's profile or will it create confusion. As a business owner or manager you can successfully use surveys to enhance your profile and to gain customer feedback. What you need to keep in mind though is that most of the pre-made surveys are not geared for businesses. These surveys are created for individual users to provide more details about themselves in an entertaining format.

As a business manager or owner what you are looking for is professionalism, mixed with just the right amount of flash. You want your survey be professional, but you also want it to stand out so that a customer will feel more inclined to take the time to fill it out. At the same time you do not want a survey that is going to take hours to complete, what you as a business manager or owner are after is a survey that gets right to the point. The shorter the survey, the higher the chances your customers will fill it out.

If you use surveys you want them to be about the products or services that your company offers, your company and what it stands for, or what your customers think and/or feel about your product or services. You can even use surveys to get ideas for new products or to find out how your customers feel about the quality of your company's customer service, or how user friendly your website is.

Surveys can be created for almost anything, just remember to keep it fun and professional.
