Online surveys have a number of advantages:
  1. They save you time and money.
  2. You can reach large numbers of people easily.
  3. There are no geographical restrictions.
  4. You will typically get higher response rates than other survey methods.
  5. It is quicker to achieve your required sample size.
  6. The quality of your data quality will be improved through questionnaire controls and elimination of manual data entry.
However, online surveys can only reach people who use the internet. It may, therefore, be difficult to obtain a representative sample for some surveys.
