An investigation into the effect of questionnaire identification numbers in consumer mail surveys

Article Abstract:

The inclusion of questionnaire identification numbers in mail surveys has a positive effect on response rate and item omission. However, making the numbers more visible through the use of graphics has a negative effect on response rate. It is therefore recommended that the questionnaire contain an explanation for the inclusion of the numbers. The numbers should be also formatted in a way that will not arouse adverse response from the subject.

Complex services and choice criteria: an example from the life assurance market

Article Abstract:

Customer choice criteria in endowment life assurance policies and the role that service complexity plays are analyzed. Results show that a consumer primarily chooses an institution based on the fact that the consumer is already using a service offered by that institution, followed by recommendation or familial relationship. Other factors that can affect customer choice criteria are also analyzed.
