Today marks the launch of SurveyFlashTools, a new
method for research companies to access and add
engaging Flash components into their electronic
surveys. With a wide portfolio of tools and question
types, survey creators are now able to browse, customize
and embed the Flash object into their survey environments
in just a few clicks. With no development costs,
users pay as little as $7 for Flash usage on a 300
sample survey.
Using technology created by Annik - the market research
IT and operations company, SurveyFlashTools will
enable researchers to dramatically reduce the effort
and costs involved, without requiring any knowledge
of Flash programming. With new releases planned
each week, Flash components include simple sliders,
text highlighters, multimedia players and advanced
rating tools.
SurveyFlashTools is fully compatible with ConfirmIt
including the recently released Version 15. Other
leading platforms will be enabled shortly.
"Many researchers have discovered that the appropriate
usage of engaging Flash can add real value to their
surveys, not least in terms of increased completion
rates." commented Rahul Sahgal, Annik CEO. "However,
Flash often meant delays to timings and high associated
costs. SurveyFlashTools aims to change this trade
off and will make Flash more accessible on a much
broader range of projects, even with the lowest
budgets or the tightest deadlines."
