Mobile / On-line delivery optimizes Transactional survey response

I've been working on Transactional surveys with a new QuestBack customer for the last couple of months where our QuestBack is replacing another vendor's product. What' been very encouraging is the response rate improvements QuestBack mobile adaptive surveys are receiving. The surveys we've implemented thus far are receiving substantially greater response rates. The difference, in my opinion is "device adaptive" survey forms. 

Device adaptive simply means that QuestBack surveys present equally well on mobile, tablet or standard laptop / desktop devices. Obviously, this allows respondents to respond from wherever they happen to be when they receive an invitation. It has absolutely increased response rates for the client. 

How much better are QuestBack's device adaptive surveys? Transactional surveys often receive lower response rates, 8-10% being typical. Mobile only survey companies discuss "mid-teens" response rates as being high. On one survey using QuestBack, the customer is receiving over 20% response versus ~12% before. On another they are approaching 30% versus 25% before.    

QuestBack's device adaptive, multi-channel and closed-loop follow up supported surveys produce high response rates and provide detailed insights about customers. In fact, one client I do surveys for using QuestBack is receiving a nearly 50% response rate on a relationship survey delivered via e-mail.  I've discussed this phenomenon in other posts before (see http://close-the-loop.blogspot.com/2015/06/mobile-support-increases-survey.html for more information). But, wanted to point out that device adaptability can have a powerful effect on transactional survey response rates too.
