How to Create a Survey

How to turn survey results into a great presentation

Turning survey results into presentation, choose the best data to share, tell a story, adhere to common design rules, create an additional report.

You’ve launched your survey . The results are in. Now it’s time to make sense of them.

Creating a survey results presentation is one of the best ways to analyze your results and present them to stakeholders in a format that makes them clear and understandable.

It’s not as simple as copying and pasting everything into a PowerPoint presentation, though. Here’s how you can create an awesome survey results presentation.

Why you should turn survey results into a presentation

Not everyone is going to be willing to sift through all your survey responses and tease out the relevant findings. That’s why you need to succinctly summarize those findings and make them digestible for everyone. A survey results presentation is the perfect tool.

How to create a survey results presentation: Best practices

Before you rush to turn your responses into a presentation, take the time to acquaint yourself with the following best practices.

Not every insight you collect from your survey is going to be relevant to your target audience. So start by narrowing down your dataset to include only information that’s useful. Think about what you want your audience to take away from your presentation, and then choose your data accordingly.

If you really want to capture your audience’s attention, tell a story with your presentation. Rather than just show them the raw data, explain what the findings mean and why your audience should care.

Using subjective feedback from surveys can work well. While it’s helpful to show data that proves your point, using specific examples can make your presentations much more powerful, writes corporate trainer Dana Brownlee .

There are several design best practices you should follow, writes Shonna Waters, Ph.D. , vice president of strategic alliances and partnerships at professional coaching platform BetterUp. That includes using a minimalistic background, placing only your major points on each slide, and avoiding blocks of copy. “Keep the presentation stimulating and appealing without overwhelming your audience with bright colors or too much font,” Waters advises.

Not all of your survey findings will be suitable to include in your presentation, but they may still be essential for stakeholders. “If you’re presenting data to senior executives or business clients, you might want to prepare a full report on your findings,” writes Swetha Amaresan , senior marketing coordinator at Nickelodeon International. “You wouldn’t refer to this document during a presentation, but you might hand this to your audience to read through on their own time.”

Analyzing dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110318">survey results can feel overwhelming, with so many variables to dig into when looking to pull out the most actionable, interesting consumer stories. Below we’ll walk through how to make the most of your dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110320">survey data through a thorough yet efficient analysis process.

Review your top dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110324">survey questions

Begin your data analysis by identifying the key dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110324">survey questions in your dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110367">questionnaire that align with your broader market dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110338">research questions or business objectives. These are the questions that most closely relate to what you’re trying to achieve with your research project and the ones you should focus on the most. Other variables throughout your survey are important - but they may be better leveraged as cross-analysis variables (i.e. variables you filter down major questions by) rather than ones to be analyzed independently. Which brings us to our next step...

Analyze and cross-analyze your dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110335">quantitative data

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110335">Quantitative survey questions provide numerical information that can be statistically analyzed. Start by examining top-level numerical responses in your quantitative data (ratings, rankings, frequencies) for your most strategic dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110324">survey questions . Think about which variables might tell an even richer and more meaningful story when cut by dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110347">subgroups (i.e dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110337">cross-tabulation )- such as looking into buying behavior, cut by a dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110328">demographic variable (gender, age, etc). This deeper level of analysis uncovers insights from dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110342">survey dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110319">respondents that may not have been as apparent when examining survey variables in isolation. Take your time during this step to explore your data and identify interesting stories that you’ll eventually want to use in a final report. This is the fun part! At least us at quantilope think so...

Consider dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110346">statistical analysis

Next, run dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110346">statistical analysis on relevant questions. Traditional agencies typically require the help from a behavioral science/data processing team for this, but many automated platforms (like quantilope) can run dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110346">statistical analysis without any manual effort required.

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110339">Statistical significance testing provides an added layer of validity to your data, giving dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110354">stakeholders even more confidence in the recommendations you’re making. Knowing which dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110345">data points are significantly stronger/weaker than others confirms where you can have the most confidence in your data.

How to present survey results

Data is a powerful tool, but it's only valuable if your audience can grasp its meaning. Visual representations of your dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110335">quantitative data can offer insights into patterns or trends that you may have missed when looking strictly at the numbers and they offer a clear, compelling way to present your findings to others.

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110336">Data visualization can sometimes be done while you’re analyzing and cross-analyzing your data (if using an automated platform like quantilope). Otherwise, this is the step in your insights process when you’ll take the findings you found during the analysis stage and give them life through intuitive charts and dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110321">graphs .

Below are a few steps to clearly visualize insights once you dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110352">collect data :

Choose your chart types:

The first step is to select the right chart type for your data based on the dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110369">type of question asked. No one chart fits all dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110351">types of data . Choose a chart that clearly displays each of your dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110345">data points ’ stories in the most appropriate way. Below are a few commonly used chart types in dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110370">market research :

Column/ dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110368">bar dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110321">graphs : Great for comparing categories.

Line charts: Show trends and changes over time compared to an initial dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110331">benchmark (great for a brand tracking survey ).

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110334">Pie charts : Used to display parts of a whole.

Scatter plots: Visualize the relationship between two variables (used in a Key Driver Analysis! ).

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110356">Word clouds : Good for concise dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110358">open-ended responses (i.e. brand names) to see which words appear biggest/smallest (representing the volume of feedback, respectively).

The right chart type will clearly display meaningful patterns and insights. quantilope’s platform makes it easy to toggle between different chart types and choose the one that best represents your data - significance testing already included!

Leverage numerical tables:

Sometimes, nothing beats the precision and detail of a well-structured numerical table. When you need to provide exact values or compare specific dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110345">data points , numerical tables are your go-to. When using numerical tables to present your findings, make sure they are:

Clear: Use explanatory headings and proper, consistent formatting.

Concise: Present only the essential data without unnecessary clutter.

How to write a dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110332">survey report

Lastly, take your data analysis - complete with chart visualizations and dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110346">statistical analyses , and build a final report such as a slide report deck or an interactive dashboard.

This is where you’ll want to put your strategic thinking hat on to determine which charts, headlines, graphics, etc., are going to be most compelling/interesting to final dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110354">stakeholders and key decision makers; them buying into your data is not done purely on the data itself, rather how you organize and present it.

Below are a few considerations when building and writing your final dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110332">survey report :

Start with dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110340">methodology :

Start by clearly describing how you designed and administered your survey to dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110319">respondents . Include details like:

Sampling methods: How were participants selected ( random, convenience, representative )

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110327">Sample size : How many people participated in your study?

Sampling timeframe: When did your study run?

Survey format: Where did you administer your survey? (online, phone, in-person, etc.)

Question types: dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110348">Multiple choice , dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110323">open-ended questions , dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110361">likert scales , and so on.

Advanced methods: Did you leverage any advanced dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110340">methodologies beyond standard usage and attitude questions such as NPS ( dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110341">net promoter score ) for dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110349">customer satisfaction or a segmentation for need-based dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110362">customer feedback ?

Your methodology background knowledge is helpful to those reading your report for added context and credibility. You can also use this section of your report to define any complex dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110340" style="background-color: transparent;">methodologies used in your study that might require added explanation to readers without a dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110370" style="background-color: transparent;">market research background.

Craft a story:

Don't make the mistake of throwing dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110345">data points at your audience. Part of reporting on your dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110359">online surveys includes crafting narratives that tie your data findings together to sell your story to your audience. What patterns emerge? Are there any surprises? Embed these stories into your charts through headlines and chart descriptions, and tie them back to your research objectives whenever possible. Think carefully about the following when crafting your data story:

The big takeaway: What's the core message you want to convey?

Context: Why does this story matter in the greater scheme of your business?

Implications: What business decisions or dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110354">stakeholder actions might come from these findings?

Organize your findings logically by themes or question categories, and include a summary/final takeaway at the end for readers who want a very quick and digestible understanding of your study. Your story is what dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110354">stakeholders and key decision makers look for in dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110370">market research - it’s your chance to impress them and ensure your data findings generate real impact.

Incorporate dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110333">infographics and other visual stimuli:

Aside from data charts, other visual stimuli add richness to your data presentation, making it more digestible and memorable. Consider these added visuals when presenting your data:

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110333">Infographics : dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110330">Summarize key findings with icons, charts, and text.

Images: Add relatable pictures that resonate with your data and/or audience.

Color: Use color strategically to emphasize crucial points or to emulate a brand’s look/feel.

dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110329">Qualitative data : Include insightful quotes or video responses (if applicable) to add additional stories, trends, or opinions to your report.

Common mistakes in analyzing dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110318">survey results

Analyzing, presenting, and reporting on survey findings isn’t difficult when using the right tools and following the above best practices.

However, there are some things to keep in mind during these processes to avoid some common mistakes:

Avoid biased results in your final dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110326">survey analysis and presentation by controlling for things like sampling bias and reporting bias. Sampling bias occurs when you don’t use a truly representative sample of your target population; this can skew your results and portray inaccurate/misleadings findings. Reporting bias occurs when you don’t account for personal biases in what you choose to share (i.e. cherry picking the data that seems the most positive or that supports your personal pre-existing idea - often referred to as confirmation bias). Avoid survey biases by having a second (or even third) colleague review your work at each stage before sharing it with final dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110354">stakeholders .

Misinterpreting correlation as dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110343">causation

Just because two variables are related doesn't mean one causes the other. Be cautious about drawing causal conclusions without strong supporting evidence. The only real way to determine dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110343">causation is through a specialized dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110346">statistical analysis like regression analysis.

Looking into every dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110345">data point

Surveys produce a lot of really valuable information, but you need to focus your attention on the dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110360">metrics that generate impact for your research objective. It’s easy to get lost in an dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110325">excel data file or research platform when trying to look through every dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110322">survey response cut by as many variables as you can think of.

Start your analysis by strategically thinking about your research as a whole. What were you hoping to find out from your study? Start there. Once you start exploring your major dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110360">metrics , a story might naturally arise that leads you to further data cuts. Your data analysis should be comprehensive, yet efficient.

Best practices for presenting dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110318">survey results

While the above elements are things you’ll want to avoid in your research analysis, here are some a survey best practices you’ll want to keep in mind:

Know your audience

Tailor your report/presentation to your specific audience’s needs and understanding level. This might even mean creating different versions of your report that are geared toward different audiences. Some dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110354">stakeholders might be very technical and are looking for all the small details while others just want the bare minimum overview.

Keep it simple

Charts and dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110321">graphs should make data easier to understand, not more confusing. Avoid using too many chart types or overwhelming viewers with too much information. What are the charts that absolutely must be included to tell your full consumer story, and which are ‘nice to have’ if you had to pick and choose? Your final report doesn’t need to (and shouldn’t) house every possible dropdown#toggle" data-dropdown-placement-param="top" data-term-id="292110345">data point and data cut from your study. That’s what your raw data file is for - and you can always go back to reference this when needed. Your report however is the main takeaway and summary of your study; it should be concise and to the point. Provide enough information for your audience to understand how you reached your conclusions, but avoid burying them in irrelevant details. Any ‘extra’ data that you want to include but that doesn’t need to be front and center in your report can be included in an accompanying appendix.

Communicate clearly

Don't make your audience struggle to decode your visuals. Each chart should have a very clear takeaway that a reader of any skillset can digest almost instantly. More complex charts should have clear headlines or interpretation notes, written in simple language for your audience (non-technical or specialized terms). Back to table of contents

Presentation Tips

How to present survey results in PowerPoint or Google Slides

A survey is a technique that is applied by conducting a questionnaire to a significant sample of a group of people. When we carry out the survey, we start from a hypothesis and it is this survey activity that will allow us to confirm the hypothesis or to see where the problem and solution of what we are investigating lies.

We know: fieldwork is hard work. Many hours collecting data, analyzing and organizing it until we have our survey results.

Well, we don't want to discourage you (at Slidesgo we stand for positivism) but this is only 50% of the survey work. After having organized the results, it's time to share and present them! Such good work can't be hidden and, besides, sharing is living, and can determine the next step of your research or your following survey.

Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine now that you are listening to a large number of figures, percentages, and other quantitative expressions typical of a survey. Would the result of that survey be clear to you? Probably not. A picture is worth a thousand words (one of our catchphrases, yes). Now, imagine (or continue reading this post, because you will find images) that all these data are represented in graphs or infographics, with colors, eye-catching fonts... The feeling is very different! The human brain interprets an image 60,000 times faster than a text!

So, in this post, we are going to show you some ways to present survey results in Google Slides and PowerPoint , so that your surveys can be understood in a very clear and concise way. Here we go!

Graphs and charts

Infographics.

When it comes to providing an audience with numerical data, one of the best ways is with a graph. A good graph conveys the most relevant features of your survey and also allows you to compare, highlight a trend or show other related elements.

If you are afraid of working with charts, don't worry! To solve those doubts and concerns you may have before using a chart, we have several very interesting posts at Slidesgo School : whether you want to learn how to modify a graph in our templates or if you want to make and insert a chart in PowerPoint or Google Slides previously created by you.

EXTRA TIP! Use different colors in your graphs, one for each value or result of the survey, it will provide a lot of clarity on the subject.

Below, we are going to show you different types of graphs and charts with which you can represent your survey data. Just select the types that you think are ideal for the characteristics of your survey.

They are a safe choice, as they are very easy to create and interpret. All values can be compared very easily!

Line charts

These types of charts are very well suited to illustrate how different elements vary over time or a given distance. In the example, you can see the evolution of two elements over time. Where is your research going? This type of graph will answer this question.

Venn diagram

Venn diagrams (named after its creator, John Venn) are infographics that show the grouping of one or several elements delimited by closed lines so that the elements of each group remain inside.

In the image, you can see a Venn diagram in an abstract style, without following very fixed lines, in case you would like to give a more casual touch to your results!

However, understanding and knowing how to generate Venn diagrams can be difficult, that's why, on our blog, we have two posts dedicated to how to create a Venn diagram , both in Google Slides and PowerPoint . Grab paper and a pencil, there is some very interesting information!

Mmmm, it smells like cake! We're sorry to tell you this, but this is not a pie, but a pie chart, perfect for your survey results! This type of graph is very popular and is used to compare different parts that together make a whole, a total. Going back to our tip of using colors... Notice how clear it is to use a different color for each element!

Infographics are perfect for talking about surveys. They are eye-catching, they organize the information in a very appropriate order, they make the data look more pleasant and impactful and they are the ideal complement for your presentations. At Slidesgo , we have a very complete section of infographics for all types of presentations. Which one fits best with your content?

We are going to show you a series of examples of infographics so that you can see how clear everything is with the use of infographic resources. Maybe even a set of infographics will come in handy for your survey results!

Project Management Infographics

Technology Consulting Infographics

This post is coming to an end... Hopefully, you have learned a lot about how to present your survey results! To conclude, we want to give you a few last tips, because we want your presentation to turn out great:

In addition to numerical data, present the objectives and conclusions of your survey . The audience will appreciate it if you make them part of the survey interpretation process.
Explain how you collected the information . Detail the process of conducting the survey, so that the audience can see the hard work behind it.
Talk about the different variables in your survey . Age, locations where the survey took place, and other variables that are part of your different surveys.
Use a moderate number of graphs or infographics . Balance is the key, so include only those data that are relevant to the development of the survey and eliminate those variables or parts that are not influential.

And that's all! If you apply all these recommendations, everyone will internalize the results of your surveys and will want to know about future projects.

5 ways to effectively present assessment or survey results

Written August 8, 2021
by Roman Daneghyan

In today’s business world, understanding your customers is crucial.

Collecting data can be challenging , but turning that data into useful information or representative statistics is a whole different game.

Speaking about statistics, l et’s take a look at the importance of statistics in business:

Eases performance evaluation and management
Offers factual data
Keeps the brand in operation
Projection of future events
Makes your business clear and understandable
Helps businesses in setting long-term goals

You might have heard this old saying, “ A picture is worth a thousand words .”

The best technique for understanding any assessment or survey results is to visualize them . You can display survey results in different forms from simple charts to presentations, video infographics, and more.

In this post, we will take a closer look at the top 5 ways to effectively present your assessment or survey results. Want to dive straight into creating questionnaires with advanced and automated report generation? Find out if our software is what you’re looking for.

1. Using charts

A chart or graph is a visual presentation of data. The major goal of using charts is to display your assessment or survey results in a meaningful way.

Good charts convey information easily and quickly to the audience, whereas a bad chart leaves you confused. They highlight the salient characteristics of the assessment results and deliver a convenient method to compare different sets of it. Whether you want to show a relationship, highlight a trend, or make a comparison, charts help the users in understanding what you’re talking about.

Have a look at the images below of both good charts and bad charts.

Good chart: precise and clear

Bad chart: confusing and unclear

There are several chart types such as bar graph, line graph, Venn diagram, pie chart, and more. Different situations require different chart types for a simple and clear presentation of the assessment or survey assessment results you’ve collected. For this, you need to pick the chart that best fits your situation.

You can display your charts in these business presentation examples , helping you craft engaging and persuasive presentations for various purposes, from sales pitches to corporate meetings.

Bar charts are a type of graph used to display and compare the number, frequency, or other measures for different discrete categories of data.

Bar charts are one of the most commonly used types of graphs because they are simple to create and very easy to interpret. They are also a flexible chart type and there are several variations of the standard bar chart including horizontal bar charts, grouped or component charts, and stacked bar charts.

Bar graphs are best used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.

Line graphs are usually used to show time-series data – that is how one or more variables vary over a period of time.

Line graphs are particularly useful for identifying patterns and trends in the data such as seasonal effects, large changes, and turning points. As well as time-series data, line graphs can also be appropriate for displaying data that are measured over other continuous variables such as distance. For example, a line graph could be used to show how pollution levels vary with increasing distance from a source, or how the level of a chemical varies with the depth of soil. However, it is important to consider whether the data have been collected at sufficiently regular intervals so that estimates made for a point lying halfway along the line between two successive measurements would be reasonable. In a line graph, the x-axis represents the continuous variable (for example year or distance) whilst the y-axis has a scale and indicates the measurement. Several data series can be plotted on the same line chart and this is particularly useful for analyzing and comparing trends

Typical examples of the types of data that can be presented using line graphs are monthly rainfall and annual unemployment rates.

Venn diagram

A Venn diagram (also called primary diagram, set diagram, or logic diagram) is used to show all possible logical relations between different sets. This diagram uses overlapping shapes, often circles to illustrate the logical relationships between two or more sets of items.

You can use Canva’s free Venn diagram maker to create your own Venn diagram.

For example, say you have three characteristics, you can present them as follows:

This is one of the popular types of charts out there. These are used to comparing parts. Each arc is delineated by building outspread lines from its closures to the focal point of the circle, making wedge-formed “slices”. The sum of all slices is always 100%.

2. Video infographics

Video infographics or animated infographics are another way to present your statistics.

Video infographics are created by combining different animations in one informational video. It helps you in explaining assessment or survey results in an engaging manner.

It can add an extra dimension of excitement and provide a brief overview of your business data.

Apart from this, visual infographics offer an effective communication source capable of conveying concrete and complex information effortlessly. If you have a killer video infographic idea, it allows you to create a video infographic for your business using a video-making tool.

From several online video-making tools available, you can take help from Renderforest . It is a free video-making platform that helps you in building promotional videos, slideshows, intros, special events videos, and more within minutes. Use Renderforest as an affordable, fast, and easy-to-use tool to make video infographics and to present your survey results in a more understanding and attractive way.

3. Make use of infographics

Infographics are another great way to share your business statistics with your audience. Survey results are easily translated into graphs and charts, making survey results and infographics the perfect couple.

Infographics are not only eye-catching, but they also make your business data look more pleasing and impactful. There are a number of examples of statistical infographics that have gone viral in the industry.

For example, Bill Gates’ World’s Deadliest Animal Infographic .

A strong infographic will leave an unforgettable impression on your audience. You can also take the idea from this chart and create something outside-the-box. The best thing about infographics is that they are easy to design and anyone can create them, even without a designing background.

Our friends over at Venngage have written a great article on turning survey results into an infographic .

4. Data visualization

One of the best ways to interpret the statistics is to visualize the numbers as an image. This can help you to see a pattern that is otherwise not visible. According to MIT , the human brain can easily process an image in only 13 milliseconds. This clearly shows the importance of visual representation.

To present your survey results, a visual representation can promote your message and shows statistical information. It can be in the form of diagrams, tables or graphs . Excel makes it incredibly quick and simple to edit all aspects of a graph and because it’s so widely used. If you’re not experienced with Excel it’s easy to find training programs to get you up to speed.

Have a look at the column chart:

Choosing accent colors to highlight important data or changes
Horizontal labels to improve the level of readability
Y-Axis to 0 to reflect the precise values in your graph

Remember, for readers visual representations are easy to understand. Statistics presented in the form of visuals can be easily understood compared to long list of numbers. The visual presentation illustrates current trends quickly and is an efficient way to transfer the database information into the reader’s mind.

It is also important to keep in mind that poor visualization of statistics can often be misleading. Therefore, to balance function and design is very essential. Visuals that are complex fail to communicate with the audience. Misleading information can also be an outcome of distinctive cultural traditions. For instance, colors might hold different symbolic meanings globally.

5. Use presentations

Last but not least presentations . Data can only work if it is understandable to your audience.

The best way to decipher a jumble of numbers, data, and statistics is by turning it into a visual presentation . Have you ever used a presentation maker for presenting your business statistics? If no, try this now. It is an efficient and famous method to get your message across your potential audience effectively.

Creating a data visualization presentation is in itself an art. You need to take into consideration various factors e.g., the type of data you would like to share and the medium for your data.

By analyzing your data and selecting a medium, you can design an effective presentation to represent your data. Also, you need to ensure that the presentations you’re creating must be of high quality and engaging to the visitors. Once you’ve presented your survey results using these effective methods, don’t forget to provide feedback channels for your audience to share their thoughts and insights. Your audience’s feedback can help you refine your presentation techniques and better meet their information needs.

Always keep in mind that there is a story behind every statistic, and a data visualization presentation can help you in depicting that story successfully.

Final words

Graphs, diagrams, and tables are all great and attractive ways to present survey results that are easy to understand. The major reason for using visuals is clarity as some data can be better understood when explained visually. And when it comes to presenting data, nothing is more effective than a table or graph. Add your logo to your presentation and you have a professionally branded survey report .

2. Infographics

Using infographics alongside graphs and charts adds a creative twist and enhances the message instead of distracting from the data.

The eye-catching graphic visual representations will make survey results more impactful and visually pleasing , which will leave an unforgettable impression on the audience.

3. Data Table

Tables are an efficient way to display numerical data easily . Software like Excel or SPSS helps create tables, and you can even remove unnecessary information to focus on the data intended to be shared with a specific audience.

Similarly, spreadsheets like Excel might not be visually appealing, but they are an excellent option for organizing large amounts of data for a survey results report .

4. Video Infographics

Using animation for an informational video, like in videos or animated infographics, is an excellent strategy for presenting survey results .

With sound, animation, and colorfully displayed statistics , you’re bound to keep your audience engaged . It’s an effective communication tool to convey complex and concrete information effortlessly.

5. Presentations

Not only does a presentation allow you to present the early stages of your survey, but it’s also good for showing your questions , hypotheses, and analysis methods.

What To Keep in Mind When Presenting Results

Explain technical terms your audience might not be familiar with.
Put the results in context , comparing them to other surveys or data sets.
Highlight the most critical findings from the survey.
Be clear about the meaning of the results and the way you obtained them.

The most important thing to remember when presenting survey results is that correlation doesn’t equal causation. It implies that just because two things are related doesn’t mean that one caused the other.

How to Present Survey Results in PowerPoint

A powerpoint presentation with a graph and data points

If you’re conducting surveys for your business, school project, or any other purpose, it’s important to be able to present your findings to your audience in a clear and engaging way. And one of the most popular tools for doing so is PowerPoint. In this article, we’ll explore the various ways you can use PowerPoint to present your survey results effectively and leave a lasting impact on your audience.

Table of Contents

Understanding the Importance of Presenting Survey Results Effectively

The ultimate goal of conducting surveys is to collect important data that can be used to make informed decisions or gain insights on your targeted audience. However, presenting this data in a way that is engaging, understandable, and actionable is just as important as collecting it. This is where PowerPoint comes in handy, as it allows you to create visually appealing and interactive presentations that can grab your audience’s attention and effectively convey your message.At the same time, by presenting your survey results effectively, you can increase the likelihood that your audience will be able to understand and remember the key takeaways from your survey.

One important aspect of presenting survey results effectively is to use clear and concise language. Avoid using technical jargon or complex terms that may confuse your audience. Instead, use simple language that is easy to understand and focus on the most important findings from your survey.

Another key factor to consider is the use of data visualization tools. Charts, graphs, and other visual aids can help to illustrate your survey results in a way that is easy to understand and visually appealing. However, it is important to use these tools appropriately and avoid cluttering your presentation with too many visuals that may overwhelm your audience.

Tips for Choosing the Right Chart Types to Showcase Your Survey Data

One of the most useful features of PowerPoint is its ability to create various types of charts to display your survey data. However, choosing the right chart type can be a challenge. Here are some tips to help you choose the right chart type for your survey data:

Pie charts are great for displaying data that can be broken down into percentages or fractions, such as demographic information.
Column and bar charts are ideal for displaying quantitative data that can be measured in numbers, such as survey responses or ratings.
Line charts are useful for demonstrating trends in data over a period of time, such as changes in customer satisfaction ratings.
Scatter plots can be used to showcase the relationship between two variables, such as age and income.

Another chart type that can be useful for displaying survey data is the stacked bar chart . This chart type can be used to show the composition of a whole, broken down into different categories. For example, if you conducted a survey on the reasons why customers choose a particular product, you could use a stacked bar chart to show the percentage of customers who chose the product based on different factors, such as price, quality, and brand reputation.

Finally, it’s important to consider the audience for your chart when choosing the right chart type. If your audience is primarily visual learners, you may want to choose a chart type that is more visually appealing, such as a pie chart or a line chart. On the other hand, if your audience is more data-driven, you may want to choose a chart type that is more straightforward and easy to read, such as a bar chart or a scatter plot.

How to Create a Compelling Cover Slide for Your Survey Results Presentation

The cover slide is the first thing your audience will see, so it’s important to make it visually appealing and engaging. Here are some tips to consider when creating your cover slide:

Use a high-quality image that captures your audience’s attention and is relevant to your survey topic.
Include a powerful headline that summarizes your key findings and grabs your audience’s attention.
Add your brand logo to increase brand awareness and recognition.
Use contrasting colors to make your cover slide visually appealing and ensure that your text is easy to read.

Another important aspect to consider when creating your cover slide is to keep it simple and uncluttered. Avoid using too many images or text that can overwhelm your audience. Instead, focus on highlighting the most important information and key takeaways from your survey results. Additionally, make sure to choose a font that is easy to read and consistent throughout your presentation to maintain a professional and cohesive look.

Best Practices for Organizing Your Survey Results into Logical Sections

Organizing your survey results into logical sections is crucial for ensuring that your audience can understand and digest your findings easily. Here are some tips to help you organize your survey results effectively:

Use headings and subheadings to break your survey results into smaller sections that are easier to read and understand.
Include a table of contents to allow your audience to easily navigate through your presentation.
Group your data by theme or category to provide structure and context to your survey findings.

Another important tip for organizing your survey results is to consider the order in which you present your findings. It’s often helpful to start with a high-level overview of your results before diving into the details. This can help your audience understand the big picture before getting into the specifics.

Additionally, it’s important to consider the visual presentation of your survey results. Using charts, graphs, and other visual aids can help make your findings more engaging and easier to understand. However, it’s important to use these tools judiciously and make sure they are relevant to the data you are presenting.

How to Use Color Effectively in Your Survey Results Presentation

Color is a powerful tool that can be used to make your survey results presentation visually appealing and engaging. Here are some tips to help you use color effectively:

Use a consistent color scheme throughout your presentation to create a cohesive and professional look.
Choose colors that match your brand to increase brand awareness and recognition.
Use color to highlight important data and draw your audience’s attention to key findings.

Exploring Different Animation Techniques to Make Your Survey Results Presentation Pop

Animations are an effective way to grab your audience’s attention and make your survey results presentation more engaging. Here are some animation techniques you can consider:

Entrance animations can be used to bring elements onto the screen one by one, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement.
Exit animations can be used to remove elements from the screen and create a smooth transition between slides.
Emphasis animations can be used to highlight important data or add emphasis to certain points in your presentation.
Motion path animations can be used to create movement and dynamic visuals.

Tips and Tricks for Adding Customized Icons and Graphics to Your PowerPoint Presentation

Adding customized icons and graphics to your survey results presentation can help to make it more visually appealing and memorable. Here are some tips to consider:

Use high-quality graphics that are relevant to your survey topic and align with your brand identity.
Consider using icons or infographics to make your presentation more visually appealing and easy to understand.
Use a consistent style throughout your presentation to create a cohesive and professional look.
Make sure your graphics are readable and not too small or cluttered.

How to Incorporate Video and Audio Elements into Your Survey Results Presentation

Incorporating video and audio elements into your survey results presentation can make it more engaging and memorable. Here are some tips to help you use video and audio effectively:

Choose high-quality videos and audio clips that are relevant to your survey topic and help to reinforce your key findings.
Use videos and audio clips sparingly to avoid overwhelming your audience or detracting from your survey data.
Consider using video and audio to introduce new topics and sections , as a way of adding variety to your presentation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Presenting Survey Results in PowerPoint

While PowerPoint is a powerful tool for presenting survey results, there are some common mistakes that you should avoid. Here are some of them:

Cluttering your slides with too much data , which can overwhelm and confuse your audience.
Using complex or hard-to-read charts that make it difficult for your audience to understand your key findings.
Not practicing your presentation , which can lead to awkward pauses, stumbling over words, or technical issues.
Not tailoring your presentation to your audience , which can lead to a lack of engagement and understanding.

How to Make Your Survey Results Presentation Interactive and Engaging

An interactive and engaging presentation can help to hold your audience’s attention and increase their understanding of your survey data. Here are some tips to help make your presentation more interactive:

Use interactive charts and graphs that allow your audience to explore and interact with your data.
Include polls or quizzes that enable your audience to participate and test their knowledge.
Allow for questions and discussion throughout your presentation, which can create a more engaging and interactive experience.

Measuring the Success of Your Survey Results Presentation: Analytics and Metrics You Should Track

After presenting your survey results, it’s important to track the success of your presentation and analyze the impact it had on your audience. Here are some metrics you can track:

Viewership and engagement metrics , such as how many people viewed your presentation and how long they spent on each slide.
Survey response rates , to determine if your message effectively resonated with your audience.
Feedback and comments from your audience, to understand what they found most engaging and memorable.
Conversion rates , if you included a call to action in your presentation, to measure the impact of your presentation on your audience’s behavior.

Using PowerPoint Add-Ins to Enhance Your Survey Results Presentation

Finally, using PowerPoint add-ins can help you to take your survey results presentation to the next level. Here are some add-ins you may want to consider:

Slide Master can help you to create a consistent look and feel throughout your presentation.
Polls Everywhere can be used to create interactive polls and quizzes that your audience can participate in using their mobile devices.
DataPoint can be used to dynamically link your presentation with live data, enabling you to create real-time dashboards and reports.

By following these tips and utilizing the available resources, you can create an effective and visually appealing presentation of your survey results, helping you to deliver your message to your target audience in an engaging and memorable way.

How to Analyze Survey Results Like a Data Pro

Updated: November 23, 2021

Published: October 04, 2021

Obtaining customer feedback is difficult. You need strong survey questions that effectively derive customer insights. Not to mention a distribution system that shares the survey with the right customers at the right time. However, survey data doesn't just sort and analyze itself. You need a team dedicated to sifting through survey results and highlighting key trends and behaviors for your marketing, sales, and customer service teams. In this post, we'll discuss not only how to analyze survey results, but also how to present your findings to the rest of your organization.

How to Analyze Survey Results

How to present survey results, how to write a survey report, survey report template examples, 1. understand the four measurement levels..

Before analyzing data, you should understand the four levels of measurement. These levels determine how survey questions should be measured and what statistical analysis should be performed. The four measurement levels are nominal scales, ordinal scales, interval scales, and ratio scales.

Nominal Scale

Nominal scales classify data without any quantitative value, similar to labels. An example of a nominal scale is, "Select your car's brand from the list below." The choices have no relationship to each other. Due to the lack of numerical significance, you can only keep track of how many respondents chose each option and which option was selected the most.

Ordinal Scale

Ordinal scales are used to depict the order of values. For this scale, there's a quantitative value because one rank is higher than another. An example of an ordinal scale is, "Rank the reasons for using your laptop." You can analyze both mode and median from this type of scale, and ordinal scales can be analyzed through cross-tabulation analysis .

Interval Scale

Interval scales depict both the order and difference between values. These scales have quantitative value because data intervals remain equivalent along the scale, but there's no true zero point. An example of an interval scale is in an IQ test. You can analyze mode, median, and mean from this type of scale and analyze the data through ANOVA , t-tests , and correlation analyses . ANOVA tests the significance of survey results, while t-tests and correlation analyses determine if datasets are related.

Ratio Scale

Ratio scales depict the order and difference between values, but unlike interval scales, they do have a true zero point. With ratio scales, there's quantitative value because the absence of an attribute can still provide information. For example, a ratio scale could be, "Select the average amount of money you spend online shopping." You can analyze mode, median, and mean with this type of scale and ratio scales can be analyzed through t-tests, ANOVA, and correlation analyses as well.

2. Select your survey question(s).

Once you understand how survey questions are analyzed, you should take note of the overarching survey question(s) that you're trying to solve. Perhaps, it's "How do respondents rate our brand?"

Then, look at survey questions that answer this research question, such as "How likely are you to recommend our brand to others?" Segmenting your survey questions will isolate data that are relevant to your goals.

Additionally, it's important to ask both close-ended and open-ended questions.

Close-Ended Questions

A close-ended survey question gives a limited set of answers. Respondents can't explain their answer and they can only choose from pre-determined options. These questions could be yes or no, multiple-choice, checkboxes, dropdown, or a scale question. Asking a variety of questions is important to get the best data.

Open-Ended Questions

An open-ended survey question will ask the respondent to explain their opinion. For example, in an NPS survey, you'll ask how likely a customer is to recommend your brand. After that, you might consider asking customers to explain their choice. This could be something like "Why or why wouldn't you recommend our product to your friends/family?"

3. Analyze quantitative data first.

Quantitative data is valuable because it uses statistics to draw conclusions. While qualitative data can bring more interesting insights about a topic, this information is subjective, making it harder to analyze. Quantitative data, however, comes from close-ended questions which can be converted into a numeric value. Once data is quantified, it's much easier to compare results and identify trends in customer behavior .

It's best to start with quantitative data when performing a survey analysis. That's because quantitative data can help you better understand your qualitative data. For example, if 60% of customers say they're unhappy with your product, you can focus your attention on negative reviews about user experience. This can help you identify roadblocks in the customer journey and correct any pain points that are causing churn.

4. Use cross-tabulation to better understand your target audience.

If you analyze all of your responses in one group, it isn't entirely effective for gaining accurate information. Respondents who aren't your ideal customers can overrun your data and skew survey results. Instead, if segment responses using cross-tabulation, you can analyze how your target audience responded to your questions.

Split Up Data by Demographics

Cross-tabulation records the relationships between variables. It compares two sets of data within one chart. This reveals specific insights based on your participants' responses to different questions. For example, you may be curious about customer advocacy among your customers based in Boston, MA. You can use cross-tabulation to see how many respondents said they were from Boston and said they would recommend your brand.

By pulling multiple variables into one chart, we can narrow down survey results to a specific group of responses. That way, you know your data is only considering your target audience.

Below is an example of a cross-tabulation chart. It records respondents' favorite baseball teams and what city they reside in.

If the statistical significance or p-value for a data point is equal to or lower than 0.05, it has moderate statistical significance since the probability for error is less than 5%. If the p-value is lower than 0.01, that means it has high statistical significance because the probability for error is less than 1%.

6. Consider causation versus correlation.

Another important aspect of survey analysis is knowing whether the conclusions you're drawing are accurate. For instance, let's say we observed a correlation between ice cream sales and car thefts in Boston. Over a month, as ice cream sales increased so did reports of stolen cars. While this data may suggest a link between these variables, we know that there's probably no relationship.

Just because the two are correlated doesn't mean one causes the other. In cases like these, there's typically a third variable — the independent variable — that influences the two dependent variables. In this case, it's temperature. As the temperature increases, more people buy ice cream. Additionally, more people leave their homes and go out, which leads to more opportunities for crime.

While this is an extreme example, you never want to draw a conclusion that's inaccurate or insufficient. Analyze all the data before assuming what influences a customer to think, feel, or act a certain way.

7. Compare new data with past data.

While current data is good for keeping you updated, it should be compared to data you've collected in the past. If you know 33% of respondents said they would recommend your brand, is that better or worse than last year? How about last quarter?

If this is your first year analyzing data, make these results the benchmark for your next analysis. Compare future results to this record and track changes over quarters, months, years, or whatever interval you prefer. You can even track data for specific subgroups to see if their experiences improve with your initiatives.

Now that you've gathered and analyzed all of your data, the next step is to share it with coworkers, customers, and other stakeholders. However, presentation is key in helping others understand the insights you're trying to explain.

The next section will explain how to present your survey results and share important customer data with the rest of your organization.

1. Use a graph or chart.

Graphs and charts are visually appealing ways to share data. Not only are the colors and patterns easy on the eyes, but data is often easier to understand when shared through a visual medium. However, it's important to choose a graph that highlights your results in a relevant way.

2. Minimal Formal Annual Report

This Canva report template lets the data speak for itself. The minimal portrait layout offers plenty of negative space around the content so that it can breathe. Bold numbers and percentages can remain or be omitted depending on the needs you have for each page. One of the rare gems of this template is its ability to balance large, clear images that don't crowd out the important written information on the page. Use this template for hybrid text-visual designs.

4. Empowerment Keynote Presentation

This presentation template makes a great research report template due to its clean lines, contrasting graphic elements, and ample room for visuals. The headers in this template virtually jump off the page to grab the readers' attention. There's aren't many ways to present quantitative data using this template example, but it works well for qualitative survey reports like focus groups or product design studies where original images will be discussed.

4 Engaging Ways to Present a Survey Analysis Report (With Samples)

One of the most critical parts of running a survey is reporting your analysis.

The way you present your findings makes all the difference in whether the results are understood, listened to, and acted on.

It’s so easy to make a survey analysis report boring and uninspiring. However, we can’t advocate enough that the best reports and presentations are fun and engaging as well as being clear and insightful.

So, in this article, we’re going to run through some of our favorite ways to present a survey analysis.

We cover some visualization techniques, including templates, and take a look at how you can turn your analysis findings into a fun quiz to engage your team in the results.

For this article, we've focused on the results of a recent CSAT survey analysis we completed. Let's start at the beginning by answering the question, what information do you need to report?

What Data Should be in Your Customer Satisfaction Survey Analysis Report?

As you know, customer satisfaction surveys typically ask the customer for two pieces of information:

A reason for that rating

Presenting the ratings themselves is often left to the simplicity of a bar chart, i.e. what percentage of our customers indicated they were satisfied.

The reason for that rating is more difficult to present and relies largely on the survey analysis you complete.

For our customers at SentiSum, we run automatic topic and survey sentiment analysis on the verbatim texts left in the CSAT surveys.

More advanced AI-driven analyses like these allow you to present much more meaningful insights from your survey, like exactly why customers are happy or unhappy and whether that’s changing over time.

When it comes to the question of what to present, we recommend taking some of the ideas from our ‘ how to sell the value of CX internally ’ guide.

The best bits of advice from the guide are:

Include quantitative data—hard evidence is hard to ignore.
Don’t forget the qualitative—we’re emotional beings and love a story. Qualitative feedback, like an example of verbatim feedback, really makes the point hit home.
Know your audience—Be selective in what insights you present, the more relevant to the audience the better.

Here’s a survey analysis report example that includes a healthy mix of qualitative and quantitative data:

We chose a particularly impactful quote here, one where the customer says they’ll be cancelling their subscription because of the issue.

While not every customer complaint is that severe, this one is impactful and shows how important this issue can be—it can directly influence business revenue growth.

Four Ways to Visualise Data in Your Survey Analysis Report (With Examples and Templates)

Here are four different ways to present your analysis. Let's start at the easiest.

1. Use Screenshots in Your Survey Reports

We often opt for screenshots when presenting our survey analysis results.

It makes sense to use the pretty visualization built into our feedback analytics tool and to add extra information that contextualizes what our audience can see for themselves.

As we did in the example above, a screenshot of your survey analysis tool can be an effective (and fast) way to convey the right information.

What you decide to screenshot depends entirely on the aim of the session and the audience.

Typically we find senior management want high-level information—to know the ship is sailing in the right direction—whereas, product or operations managers will want specific examples and granular topic data that’s more actionable for them in the short term.

2. Visualise Your Quantitative Analysis Using Excel Graphs [with three examples]

Excel is...just fine. Usually, I would steer clear of Excel to avoid flashbacks to my finance internship, but the data visualisation options are flexible and there’s lots of variety.

The way you present your data often matters more than what you present—you may inspire more ‘trust’ in your evidence if it’s packaged up nicely.

With that in mind, we’ve pulled together a few different Excel data visualisation templates to get you started.

If you’re using SentiSum, follow these steps (if you’re not, these graph templates are still a useful inspiration, you’ll just have to do a little more of the data manipulation work yourself.)

First, Export Your Data from Your Survey Analysis Tool

Step 1: Export the data you’d like to see visualised. In the template below we have one tab for exporting the ‘summary’ and one tab for exporting the ‘deep dive’ analytics.

Step 2: Copy and paste it into our Excel template, which you can download below.

Step 3: Once you’ve done that, the graph visualisation on tab 3, 4 and 5 should be populated automatically (make sure you adjust where needed for extra data points).

Then Test Some of These Visualisations

Here are the three visualisations in the template:

Try Excel's Sunburst Chart to Present Your CSAT Results

sunburst chart for survey analysis reporting

I love this way of presenting CSAT survey themes and their corresponding quantitative sentiment score.

The Sunburst chart works particularly well due to its focus on hierarchy. The size of each wedge indicates the the volume or frequency that topic was mentioned in the CSAT results—the larger the wedge the more often that subject came up.

Key Resource: How to create a Sunburst chart .

Use Excel's Positive/ Negative Chart to Report Your CSAT Results

A positive/ negative chart is a really simple way of reporting customer sentiment change. The chart shows whether the sentiment for a topic went up (in green) or down (in red) relative to the previous period.

This gives your team a really quick snapshot of what's going on, and serves as a starting point for conversation. You're likely to be question a lot about what's caused the large swings in positive or negative sentiment, so be prepared with your root cause analyses.

Key Resource: How to create a positive/ negative bar chart .

Visualise Customer Sentiment with Excel's Thermometer Chart

Thermometer chart for survey sentiment reporting

This is one of my favourite graphs to use (in part because it took so long to create).

When mentioned, each topic or theme is mentioned positively or negatively. The thermometer for that topic shows the percentage of mentions that are positive. In the example above, ‘responsiveness’ is only 35% positive and shows a nearly empty thermometer.

The thermometer graph is visual and sends a clear message that we want to be full up—100% positive is our aim.

3. Zoom in on a Topic with an Infographic

Tools like Canva and Venngage have a ton of different infographics you can use as templates in your survey analysis report.

Here’s one infographic created by Venngage for one of the surveys they did with their customers.

4. Combine It With Business Metric Data

Survey analysis data reporting gets really interesting when you link the survey results to revenue.

One method of doing so is to take a business KPI or metric that really matters to your business. This could be anything from NPS, cost to serve, lifetime value.

With varying levels of difficulty, you can the link CSAT score outcomes to that number and see if they correlate (i.e. Does a higher CSAT for a customer mean that on average they spend more or cost less?)

Let’s take a simplified approach as an example. In the Excel template included above, I’ve listed the Customer ID, the CSAT rating, and the # frequency of times they contact customer service. Here’s a screenshot:

We know that customer contacts are costly to the business. They take agent resources and all the related overhead costs. So it’s safe to assume that, in general, more customer contact = bad for business (ignore for a minute whether it’s a positive or negative interaction).

By applying a simple correlation function in Excel, we discover a negative correlation between CSAT score and number of contacts. How should we interpret that?

Here’s one interpretation: All things being equal, the higher the customer satisfaction the less often they contact customer service.

Isn’t that a powerful statement to report internally?

I strongly suggest roping in your data analytics team to help you with linking CSAT, NPS or other customer scores to revenue, because I oversimplified the calculations here to illustrate what could be possible.

When done right, linking CX outcomes to ROI is a powerfully important project that will give crucial weight to greater investment in CX projects.

Another Fun Way to Engage Your Team on VOC Data—A Quiz!

When I first heard this idea I knew I had just been told something special.

I was mid-episode recording with Svitlana Gaunt, customer experience operations lead at Otrium, discussing how her team successfully changed BPO during the pandemic .

Svitlana let me into the secret behind how her CX team engages teams across her business as they scale up, and encourages customer centric thinking despite the rapid growth trajectory of the business.

How do they do it? A quiz!

I think this is a great way to make CX fun, engaging and actually listened to through the business.

Svitlana kindly shared some of the questions she includes in the quiz, and I’ve adapted and added some questions to make them even more relevant to survey analysis reporting.

The Customer Obsession Quiz

Here’s a 10-question quiz that you can use to share your survey insights and encourage others to listen and act upon your findings.

1. Which one is used the most?

- Our mobile application

- Our website

2. Which of these brands is the highest rated on TrustPilot and Google?

- Competitor 1

- Competitor 2

- Competitor 3

3. What is SentiSum's current contact rate?

4. What is our largest contract size? (Or largest purchase?)

5. The search bar is used the most for which purpose ?

- To find insights

- To find customers

- To find categories

6. What is our average CSAT score this month?

7. Which of these topic is most mentioned by customers in CSAT surveys?

- Knowledgable

8. What topic saw the biggest increase in mentions this month?

- Payment Process

- Damaged Product

- Late Delivery

- Missing Item

9. Which of these features is most requested by customers?

- In-app support

- International shipping

- Auto-refunds

10. Which topic drives the most of our customer contacts?

- #1 driver

- #2 driver

- #3 driver

- #4 driver

Adapt this quiz to your customers and the KPIs you track, and do the quiz in your next big company meeting. You’ll be surprised at how insightful the answer can be for those who aren’t on the frontline talking to customers each day.

Here are three tips for getting the quiz right:

Try not call anyone or any team out in front of everyone. Public shaming is never motivating.
Aim to share frontline knowledge with the rest of the business. Show off your knowledge of the customer and their needs.
Look for the most insightful or surprising data points—things that make people go ‘aha!’ or ‘ooo interesting’.

How you report your survey or voice of customer analysis is an oft-sidelined part of the process, but it’s critical to get right.

Well-presented data can inspire customer-centric thinking and faster action. You should spend a good proportion of your time in the interpretation, design and presentation stage of analysis, and to the best of your ability make your results fun and engaging.

Well, we all know that unique visuals like infographics can make charts and graphs more engaging. Survey data is easily translated into graphs and charts, making survey results and infographics the perfect marriage!

So without further ado, let’s get into everything you need to know to make a survey results infographic .

First up, let's kick things off by checking out some survey results templates that match up with different types of data. After that, I'll guide you through creating eye-catching survey results infographics, spicing up your results with some handy tips.

How to present survey results

3 types of survey results infographics

Design best practices for presenting survey results in infographics

Visualizing survey data effectively means using different types of charts for different types of survey results (i.e. binary, rating scale, multiple choice, single choice, or demographic results).

Binary results

If your survey questions offer two binary options (for example, “yes” and “no”), a pie chart is the simplest go-to option.

Using pies for binary results is pretty self-explanatory. Basically, just use a single pie slice to highlight the proportion of “Yes” responses compared to “No” responses. For the “Yes” responses, use a brighter, more saturated color and start the segment at 12 o’clock on the pie chart:

EDIT THIS SURVEY RESULTS TEMPLATE

If you want to compare the response rates of multiple groups, skip the pies and go for a single bar chart. A bunch of aligned bars are much easier to compare than multiple pie charts. Don’t forget to label each bar with its percentage for clarity:

For a fun alternative that’s less information-dense, you can split up the bars to make a sort of modified 100% stacked bar chart. This frees up some space to add better labels for both the “Yes” responses and the “No” responses.

Or, forget about the extra notes and let the data speak for itself. Use a standard 100% stacked bar chart, color-coded to contrast the different responses, and sorted for readability.

Rating scale results

In a rating scale question, survey takers are offered a spectrum of possible answers and are asked to select an answer along that spectrum.

This type of question is often found on customer satisfaction surveys , used to gain an understanding of customer sentiment about a product or service. It's also popular for post event surveys , to gage how much people enjoyed the event.

Most commonly it comes in one of two forms: the Likert scale (“Strongly Disagree,” “Disagree,” Neutral, “Agree” and “Strongly Agree”) or the Net Promoter Score (NPS, ranging from 0 to 10). The NPS is used to judge the willingness of a customer to recommend a product or service to others.

The 100% stacked bar chart is the simplest option for visualizing survey data from rating scale questions. It’s quick to make, and presents the proportion of responses in each category quite clearly.

With either of these scales, it’s helpful to summarize the results into coarser categories. Take the five- and ten-point Likert and NPS scales and summarize them into simpler three-point scales (“disagree”, “neutral”, and “agree” or “positive”, “neutral”, and “negative”).

Presenting survey results in a simplified categories goes a long way in making the chart easier to read.

Demographic results

If your survey gathers information about the respondents’ demographics in addition to other survey results, you may want to use that data as part of your analysis. Including factors like age, gender, income level, and even geographic location can make for an interesting infographic.

Visualizing survey data on a map is a fun way to include a demographic component in your infographic. A chloropleth map, like you see below, can be used to show the distribution of some data by geographic location . Different values are represented by different shades of a given color, so no reading is required:

Histograms, on the the other hand, can be used to show the age distribution of a particular population. They can easily incorporate data on gender, too:

While these specialized survey charts are great for more complex data, they won’t always be necessary. Consider using an icon chart when you want to make a simpler type of demographic data, like job or role, a feature of your design. They’re a fun way to add more impact to simple results.

Open-ended comments

Open-ended questions (questions that require respondents to write out their own answer, rather than selecting a preset answer) present a bit of a challenge. In order to visualize them, the answers need to be grouped in some way, either through common keywords, sentiments or some other factor.

Word clouds, though frowned upon by some data visualization experts, can be a quick way to get summary of this type of qualitative data.

They’re great for audiences who don’t have experience with data-heavy tables or statistical analysis , and they’re easy to make. Just pick out the most frequently-used keywords from the comments and plug them into our word cloud generator.

Otherwise you’ll have to do a more intensive manual qualitative analysis. Go through the open-ended responses and create categories.

Once you’ve quantified your answers, you’ll be able to present the results in a bar chart like this one, which shows the percent of comments that fall into each category.

Multiple choice results

Multiple choice questions allow respondents to select one or more answers from a list of possible answers.

The best visual for this kind of survey is a simple bar chart.

For the questions that allow respondents to make more than one selection, you’ll need to calculate the percentage of people who chose each answer, like you see in this chart from CoSchedule :

As always, bars should be sorted from greatest to least.

Pie charts are a decent option for times when respondents can only select a single answer. Keep in mind, though, that they’re not ideal if you’ve got a lot of data. If you have more than a few different responses to show, try giving each one its own chart:

3 Types of survey results infographics

Now that we’ve covered the best chart types for each type of survey result, let’s get into how we might combine survey charts to make a complete infographic.

A survey results infographic should use a combination of charts, graphic elements, and annotations tell a story.

Single-column summary infographics

The most popular type of survey results infographic is the single-column summary infographic. It sums up all of the major takeaways of a survey, explicitly stating the most important insights.

It might show the results of every survey question simply, using a large, bold number or basic chart for each question:

Or it might present a comprehensive overview of the data, with a more detailed, annotated chart for each survey question:

It might add some extra commentary after each question, too.

Either way, it presents the questions sequentially, in a single column, so that viewers can scroll through to read the results like a story.

To make your own single-column summary infographic, simply start at the top with the first question, and work your way down until you’ve covered each of the major survey insights. State each question, add the results in the form of a chart, and add notes about any interesting learnings.

To add some visual organization to a single-column infographic, use different background colors to create distinctions between sections. Add colored blocks behind each question to divide up the content.

Like you can see in the Netflix survey above, alternating red and black background colors adds a pleasing sense of rhythm and makes the infographic easier to scan.

Letter-sized summary infographics

If your survey is only a few questions long, a big single-column infographic is probably overkill. It might be better to stick with a basic 8.5”x11” page, and make it all about the numbers.

Forget about adding lots of notes, comments, and annotations. Just state each question in the simplest possible terms (i.e., “Where users are located”), and use simple survey charts to sum up the results.

Make sure you organize the charts based on an underlying grid , or you might end up with a jumbled mess.

Or you can even forget about charts altogether, and present the key takeaways as simply as possible. Use big, bold numbers to make a statement:

Letter-sized feature infographics

The last go-to option for presenting survey results is the one-page feature infographic. It couldn’t be more simple. It breaks down the results of a single survey question, in a single chart, on a single page.

We like to call this the “power stat” infographic. It combines a very simple chart with some big, bold text for a high-impact result:

Even if you have the most interesting survey data ever, no one will give it a second look if your infographic is poorly designed. Keep these best practices in mind when you make your next survey results infographic.

Clearly label charts to provide context and prevent misinterpretation

Your readers should be able to understand your survey charts in only a few seconds’ glance. Don't go for double barrelled questions when it comes to creating them. And if you ask me, that makes chart labels the most important chart elements (after the data itself, of course).

Descriptive labels can be used to add context to the data--to spell out the conclusions and implications of the data in the chart. This extra text will help to ensure that nothing is misinterpreted or lost in translation between you and your audience.

A well-labelled chart looks something like this:

The labels stand out against the background of the chart, with arrows clearly tying them to their respective data points.

Simplify the data to create clarity

It can be tempting to include every single data point in a visualization, but that won’t do you any good!

Be selective with your data. Just because you have a lot of data doesn’t mean your audience will want to spend hours scrolling through a mile-long infographic.

Select the most important results, and leave the rest for more in-depth summaries like white papers or reports . Include some supporting data if you need to, but remember--data visualization is all about cutting through the clutter .

Don’t embellish your infographic with unnecessary decorations

Along the same lines, avoid adding unnecessary icons, hard-to-read fonts, gaudy colors, 3D effects, or any other forms of “chartjunk”--ornamental elements that don’t help clarify anything about the data itself.

While you might think that adding extra elements will make your infographic more appealing, they often only distract from the information you want to communicate.

The focus of your infographic should be A) the charts and B) your notes, labels, and annotations.

Apply style choices uniformly throughout the infographic

Regardless of what colors, fonts, images, or icons you use, be sure to apply styling consistently throughout the graphic.

Notice how color is used consistently (to represent the same response) in each section of this infographic?

That makes comparing responses across populations painless.

Include links to data sources in the infographic footer

Cite your data sources, ideally in link form, in the footer of your infographic. Make it easy for the more curious members of your audience to find and peruse the original data for themselves.

Even if it’s your own original research, linking to the complete data will help your credibility and allow readers to make their own decisions about the data. And who knows--maybe they’ll find something interesting that you missed the first time around!

Sometimes tables and graphs alone just don’t cut it.

While an in-depth analysis of survey results is best presented in a comprehensive report, an infographic is an excellent medium for summarizing your findings for more immediate impact.

Now that you know how to present survey results with the right charts, the infographic design process should be painless. If you get stuck, check out this roundup of our most popular survey results templates .

The presentation of survey results is an integral part of survey research because it is the path towards communicating the results to the appropriate individuals, organizations or government agencies that can take action regarding the results of the survey. Presenting survey results involves the introduction and background of the survey, the methodology or data collection process, the presentation and analysis of results and the conclusion and recommendations.

In addition, this step also includes incorporating effective techniques on how to make the presentation more interesting and appealing to the audience.

Introduction and Background

To start with the presentation, show the factors that served as your motivation to perform the survey. These may include statistical or descriptive data that can make the audience understand the significance of the survey. Then, state the purpose of the study, the survey goals , and the complete title of the survey. Identify the objectives that were met, and those that were not satisfied along the process.

Data Collection Process

In this part, you must state which type of survey method you had utilized in gathering data . Also, describe the sampling method done, the number of participants, any inclusion and exclusion criteria, the questionnaire formation , pilot testing , real survey execution, and data handling and storage . When presenting the data collection process, make use of tables , graphs and charts to create a better visual impact and make the audience fully understand the process.

Results and Analysis

As in the presentation of the data collection process, showing the audience your results and analysis must include the use of graphical presentation through tables and graphs. Emphasize the significant findings by means of highlighting them and explaining them further.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Presenting the conclusion and recommendations includes reviewing the survey goals and objectives and relating the survey results to them. In your presentation, the conclusion must comprise of concise but eloquent words that will lead the panel to make proper decisions or interpretations regarding the survey results.

Media Presentation

Aside from the printed report containing the research results, you must be keen at preparing your media presentation. You may use Microsoft PowerPoint or any other presentation software to present the information in a slide format, making them look organized and professionally done. An ideal PowerPoint presentation of survey results ranges from 20 to 50 slides using bullet points and tables for descriptive data, and charts or graphs for numerical data.

5 Examples of How to Present Survey Results to Stakeholders

When you’ve lovingly designed, built, and distributed your survey and responses start flooding in, it’s time to begin the process of sorting and analyzing the data you’ll be presenting to stakeholders.

Once you’ve weeded the unusable responses, begin recording relevant responses through your survey platform or in a spreadsheet. If you use survey software like CheckMarket , you can easily transfer data into visuals with pre-built reports and dashboards.

Decide your data groups. Was the survey just answering one over-arching question? Or do you have multiple areas covered? Represent each data group separately.

For each result, provide additional information such as why you conducted the survey, what questions you were trying to answer, how the results help businesses, and any surprising answers.

When you have the data separated, the next step is to identify and prioritize the information your stakeholders will most want to see.

Choosing the Right Data to Share

First things first: who is your audience? Is it your boss? Is it your peers? Is it your direct clients or customers? The information that clients want to see, for instance, may be completely different to what your boss is interested in. The information you choose to share will vary drastically depending on the campaign you’re working on.

For example, if you’re working on a new marketing campaign, your audience may be interested in how you plan on advertising your business and what perks that may bring them.

However, when it comes to your stakeholders, they will be less interested in the customer perks, and more interested in how this new campaign will work for the business. They might want to know:

How is it going to grow your audience?
How will it turn them from leads to paying customers?
How can this help improve your business’s bottom line?

When you’re presenting results, clearly define the purpose of the survey and why it matters to your stakeholders. Your story should be specific and concise.

Raise vital questions early on and have the answers ready to go. Your stakeholders have a limited amount of time to listen to what you have to say – make sure you are making the most of it.

This means you’ll have to pick and choose your data results carefully. All results need to be relevant and essential. Your stakeholders will be interested in information that makes a difference. And you’ll want the answers to be presented in the easiest way possible – which is why you want to choose your display method carefully.

5 Ways to Display Your Survey Results

When you present results, you are looking to be clear, simple, and memorable. So, viewers should not have to ask you to explain your results.

Here are five common ways to present your survey results to businesses, stakeholders, and customers.

1. Graphs and Charts

Graphs and charts summarize survey results in a quick, easy graphic for people to understand. Some of the most common types of graphs include:

Bar graphs are the most popular way to display results. Easily create, customize, and show results. Most people also know how to read a basic bar graph to interpret survey results.
Line graphs show how results change over time by tracking the ups and downs of the data.
Pie charts show the breakup of a whole into sections. For example, your whole could be the total number of respondents, and the sections represent percentages that answered a certain way.
Venn diagrams show the interaction between respondents and their answers. For example, overlapping circles could show the differences and similarities in responses between parents who use a product versus non-parents who use a product.

When creating a chart or graph, make the findings clear to read. Avoid too many intersecting lines and text options. If you can’t fit all the information into one graph, create several graphs rather than making one complex chart. Using colors to differentiate groups is another way to make results easy to read.

2. Infographics

Infographics add a creative twist to otherwise bland charts and graphs. A good infographic will use images to enhance the message, not distract from the data.

One survey results presentation example is to use silhouettes of people to convey a percentage of the population instead of a bar graph. This image helps those who see it connect the statistic to real people.

A word cloud is a powerful way to display open-ended question responses graphically. As more people respond with a specific word, that word will appear in the cloud – emphasizing the most relevant answers.

3. Video and Animations

People spend over 100 minutes a day watching videos – which is why marketers have tapped into this strategic area for reaching an audience. Nearly 88% of marketers say video marketing yields a strong return.

A video is a powerful tool for presenting information, including the results of your survey. You can capture your audience’s attention with motion, sound, and colorful statistics to help them remember information and react accordingly.

If you present findings through video, be aware that sharing options will be limited to platforms that can play a video – such a blog posts, websites, and PowerPoint presentations. Also, creating a PDF of the findings for people to look over at their leisure is a helpful way to support a video presentation.

4. Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets like Excel are not visually appealing, but they work well for organizing large amounts of information to create a survey results report.

While an image or video works best on websites, sometimes you may need to add more information than can fit in one picture.

Suppose you wanted to provide stakeholders or business partners with a detailed look at the survey and all the responses. A spreadsheet will allow the freedom to display all the necessary information at once. You can still use attractive infographics to summarize the findings and a video to present the report along with the spreadsheet.

5. Interactive Clickable Results

Interactive results are a fun way to allow viewers to explore results. You can also organize the findings to help break up large amounts of information.

Interactive maps are a common way to display survey results graphically. For example, results can be viewed by region when they click on a specific map area. Interactive maps and displays work best for websites and blogs.

An infographic that summarizes all the data as a global average allows people who don’t have the time to explore the map to see the information.

5 Details to Remember While Presenting Survey Results in PowerPoint

Last Updated on February 21, 2024 by Anastasia

Do you need to report survey results? If your next presentation will feature polls, evaluating poll results, or other data analysis consider how you’ll present that information.

Explore our Business Performance PPT Reports category on the website for more resources to boost your presentation impact.

You don’t want to overload your audience with too many figures. Charts and tables loaded with numbers and data can be overwhelming. If you want your audience to follow your presentation, they need to understand your message.

How can you use Survey Results Graphics?

#1: summarize objectives, conclusions, and recommendations.

Survey Results Summary: Objectives, Conclusions, Recommendations

Reporting the results of a survey is only part of the task at hand. When utilizing the Survey Results graphics you can also help your audience interpret your findings. Share what the objective of the survey was. Explain what conclusions can be drawn from the survey results, and provide recommendations for where you and your audience can hope to go from that point forward.

#2: Explain the Executive Summary of the Survey

You’ll want to share the details of your survey, sure, but you will also need to explain the key outcomes. Explain the survey using a slide like this. That may look like explaining the challenge that prompted the survey or the challenges you faced when constructing the survey. Either way, you’ll want to provide background information for your audience on both the survey and the situation that prompted it. You’ll want to list the top 3-5 objectives so your audience understands the reason why the survey was necessary. It’s also a good idea to describe the solution you’re proposing and what the outcomes could be.

After creating and conducting your survey, you must now process and analyze the results. These require strict attention to detail and, in some cases, knowledge of statistics and computer software packages. How you conduct these steps will depend on the scope of your study, your own capabilities, and the audience to whom you wish to direct the work. Before actually beginning the survey, the researcher should know how they want to analyze the data. If you are collecting quantifiable data, a codebook is needed for interpreting your data and should be established prior to collecting the survey data. This is important because there are many different formulas needed in order to properly analyze the survey research and obtain statistical significance. Since computer programs have made the process of analyzing data vastly easier than it was, it would be sensible to choose this route. Be sure to pick your program before you design your survey – some programs require the data to be laid out in different ways. After the survey is conducted and the data collected, the results must be assembled in some useable format that allows comparison within the survey group, between groups, or both. The results could be analyzed in a number of ways. A T-test may be used to determine if scores of two groups differ on a single variable – whether writing ability differs among students in two classrooms, for instance. A matched T-Test could also be applied to determine if scores of the same participants in a study differ under different conditions or over time. Secondary analysis of survey data is an accepted methodology which applies previously collected survey data to new research questions. This methodology is particularly useful to researchers who do not have the time or money to conduct an extensive survey, but may be looking at questions for which some large survey has already collected relevant data.

The Survey Results template consists of four professional slides, each with a large number of infographics, charts and graphs. All slides of the template are made in a bright color scheme and have all the necessary tools to build a professional presentation. This template will be useful in providing data from various social surveys. The first slide allows you to divide your respondents into age categories and give a short description for each of them. For example, you can provide information about respondents’ preferences for your new shampoo or new car model. The next slide will be useful for financiers and economists. You can use this slide to provide your complex analytical calculations and cash flow projections. This template will also be useful for marketing specialists when preparing a report on an advertising campaign for a new product. The slides of this template can also be used by airlines to display the number of passengers carried. If necessary, you can independently change the size and color of the infographic and the position of the blocks. The Survey Results template will also be useful for startups and investment companies in preparing their complex analytical data and forecasts for potential clients.

How to analyze survey data: Survey data analysis best practices

Survey data analysis involves reviewing raw materials and transforming them into key insights. Learn how to analyze survey data and best practices here.

The results are in. You’ve written the questions, found the right people to ask, and got your answers back—now what?

Perfect surveys sent to insightful respondents can become entirely useless if the results aren't coherently and comprehensively analyzed..

So, don’t run and hide.

We know the phrase “survey data analysis” sounds technical and exclusive, but it’s not as scary as it seems. By following a few simple guidelines on how to analyze survey data, you can draw insights from it yourself.

What is survey data analysis?

Survey data analysis is the process of turning survey responses into compelling insights. This includes taking all of your collected data and transforming it into something actionable. Whether it’s open-ended essays, multiple-choice answers, or other questions to ask , you can take this information and uncover patterns and helpful insights.

Some survey data analysis methods include sorting data into categories and using statistical tactics to identify trends and patterns. The goal is to take these raw data responses and turn them into a clear story that answers your research questions to help you make informed decisions.

Getting started with survey data analysis

Before you get started crunching the numbers and performing a survey data analysis, there are a few pieces of information you need to gather.

First, you need to know the number of total respondents. This number will indicate how large your sample is and how much you can rely on your results. It’s always a good idea to gather people’s opinions, but if 5,000 people attended a concert and only five people answered your survey, you can’t really treat those five answers as representative of the whole group.

Secondly, you need to calculate your survey response rate . This is a straightforward percentage—calculate it by dividing the number of responses you received in total by the number of people you asked to fill out the survey. The higher your response rate and the higher your total number of respondents, the more you can trust your survey data to be representative of the sample as a whole.

How to analyze survey data

The first step when analyzing survey data is to turn your individualized responses into aggregated numbers. This sounds complicated, but really, it just means you need to do some counting.

For every question in your survey, you need to know the total number of people who answered with each response. Take a look at this example question:

By aggregating your responses, you're simply counting how many people answered a, b, c, and d, respectively. If 100 people took your survey, the aggregated results would look something like this:

In the last six months: 30

Six months to a year ago: 40

One to two years ago: 20

Over two years ago: 10

Now, if your survey was conducted through a survey host, your online survey results should be aggregated automatically, so there’ll be no need to add the numbers.

Qualitative vs. quantitative data

Once you have all of your aggregated answers, it’s time to start making some sense of the survey data.

Our brains can make sense of percentages much more quickly and easily than whole numbers. It's also far easier to compare different percentages rather than whole numbers.

Say you wrote a survey asking 5-year-olds for their favorite colors. Just saying that 67 children chose red as their favorite color means very little. However, saying that 23% of the children chose red as their favorite color, compared to 50% who chose blue, gives you a much clearer indication of the relative popularity of one color.

If you’ve asked people to write feedback or long-form answers, leave these until the end.

You don’t want the qualitative data to bias your quantitative analysis. Focus on the numbers first, and hopefully, once you have a clear idea of what the sentiment is, the qualitative answers will be able to help you understand why that might be the case.

How to cross-tabulate survey data

Cross-tabulating your data is where you can really begin to draw insights from your survey results instead of just statistics. It can help you add context to your numbers and explore how different groups of people behave or how different factors might affect a single outcome.

When you plan your survey, you'll have considered the different comparisons you'd like to make. For example, maybe you’d like to know if older people are more likely to enjoy eating olives.

Your question might be something like this:

A screenshot showing a survey of people who like or dislike olives.

Now, in the first round of your data analysis, you might have already divided the respondents into two groups to work out the split between people who like and don't like eating olives.

So let’s say the results of this olive question were:

Like olives: 542 people (46%)

Dislike olives: 630 people (54%)

To cross-tabulate your data, you’ll need to map another variable onto this one.

We’re interested in whether tastes change with age, so let’s use that age as our second variable and ask:

A screenshot showing the ages of survey respondents.

With these results, you can plug them into a Google Sheet and start to see if there are any correlations:

A screenshot of the survey data analysis.

Imagine you have a client who is looking at marketing their olive brand directly to people under 35. You could ask these two questions and look at the split between olive lovers and haters just within this subgroup and see how it compares to the overall average splits.

Benchmarking survey data

Data means very little to us without context and meaning. Turning your numbers into percentages makes comparisons easier, but although proportionally, we can recognize exactly what 75% means, how can we know if that is good?

The answer is benchmarks.

Setting benchmarks is key to making sense of the data and working out what those percentages really mean.

Some of the most common benchmarking techniques involve comparisons between this survey’s results and the data from the last time the survey was collected. To do this effectively, you need to make sure that you are comparing the results of the same question from each survey .

Setting a benchmark using last year’s data is easy. You simply take the percentage splits of responses to a certain question and treat these as your starting point. Then, you can easily see if this month’s data is above or below that benchmark.

Year-over-year or month-over-month comparisons are an excellent way of tracking progress. They allow you to see whether trends are emerging or how much responses have changed in a given period. This is known as longitudinal analysis.

If this is your first time collecting data, no worries, you can still set some benchmarks. Instead of comparing your results to last month's or last year’s data, you can calculate the overall total split between responses for each question and treat this as your benchmark or baseline.

Once you begin to cross-tabulate and break your respondents down into further categories, you can compare their results to your benchmark to place their statistics in context.

If a value is higher than the average , we can say that this category is over-indexing , and if the value is lower , we can say that the category under-indexes . This gives some context to the statistics and starts letting you draw out some real insights from your survey data.

Why you need to analyze survey data

Quantitative data is extremely valuable when interpreting survey results. However, the numbers themselves are unlikely to provide a concrete answer as to why something happened or why people hold a certain opinion.

Understanding why respondents answered in the way that they did is when you can really start to address problems and make changes. This is where the real insight is born.

Sometimes, the “why” will be answered with direct questions in the survey and sometimes with multiple-choice boxes. Other times, it will be up to you as the survey analyst to determine causation, if possible. And this is where we need to be careful.

It's easy to become sucked into a trap when analyzing survey data and start to see patterns everywhere. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as identifying a correlation between two variables is a key part of interpreting survey results. However, the danger is that we often make assumptions instead.

Assumptions about the data can be hopes or expectations, conscious or subconscious. However, realizing when we are making assumptions can help us avoid any problems further down the line and prevent us from wasting time.

Ultimately, no one wants to find out their assumptions were false after the survey analysis is complete. Similarly, you wouldn’t want a critical assumption to be false and never even realized.

Survey data analysis examples

Correlation occurs when two different variables move at the same time.

A classic example is the sale of seasonal products. During the summer, swimming pool and barbecue sales rise. When plotted on a graph, the two variables move in the same direction at the same time. However, there's no direct connection between these two variables. People buying barbecues isn't the reason the sales of swimming pools increase.

Causation, on the other hand, occurs when one factor directly causes a change in another factor.

For example, in the case of seasonal products, the weather is a key factor. As the temperature rises in the summer, so do barbecue sales. Barbecue sales here are a variable that's dependent on the weather, and there's a key link between them.

When interpreting survey results, it's easy to mistake correlation for causation. Just because two variables move at the same time, it doesn't mean that one is directly influencing the other.

This is where qualitative data comes in. If you’ve asked your respondents to fill in longer-form answers to explain why they chose a certain response, analyzing these answers can give you the insight you need to work out why.

How to report back on your survey data

When sharing your survey data analysis, remember that the story is what makes it interesting, not the numbers.

The percentages you've calculated are vital evidence for your argument, but your analysis needs a narrative to have a real impact on people's thinking.

If you can, always provide context with your statistics, either comparing them to the same survey from last year or comparing groups of people in the same year’s data. Benchmark your numbers so that your audience is immediately aware of whether what they are seeing is positive or negative.

If you are unable to provide recommended actions based on your survey data analysis, at least signpost the key areas that need attention so the relevant parties can begin to tackle the problem if necessary.

When you visualize your data, remember that while long reports can be fascinating, most people won’t read them. Whoever you are presenting to is unlikely to want to listen or read as you walk them through your survey analysis methods step-by-step, so don’t feel like you have to include every single calculation you made in your report.

Put yourself in your audience’s shoes and determine their interests and priorities. Only give them the information if it is relevant to them, they will understand it, and there's something they can do with this new information.

CARR publishes illustrative examples on determining fallback rates on floating rate notes that reference CDOR

CARR is publishing two presentations to clarify how CARR’s recommended fallback rate for floating rate notes that reference CDOR should be implemented for calculating the coupon and accrued interest post June 2024.

The first presentation from CMHC provides two illustrative examples on how to determine the appropriate fallback rate from the Bloomberg FBAK page for the calculation of the floating rate note coupon. Using Canada Mortgage Bonds examples, the presentation provides guidance on the necessary steps required to determine the fallback rate for all cash securities except NHA MBS. The presentation also includes details on the fallback rate calculation for NHA MBS.

The second presentation, from Bloomberg, demonstrates how the accrued interest is calculated for CORRA based floating rate notes, including for those notes that use CARR’s recommended fallback language.

Participants can refer to CARR’s recommended fallback language for all cash securities except NHA MBS, for further information on fallbacks rates and specific language. CARR’s recommended fallback for NHA MBS is available here . CMHC’s NHA MBS Advice No. 20 provides additional direction to issuers on the applicable fallback provisions for CDOR in the NHA MBS Program .

Canada established CARR, a working group sponsored by the Canadian Fixed-Income Forum , to coordinate Canadian interest rate benchmark reform. CARR’s mission is to ensure Canada’s interest rate benchmark regime is robust, resilient and effective in the years ahead. Over the coming transition period, CARR will support the transition from CDOR to CORRA as the key Canadian interest-rate benchmark.

Visit CARR’s webpage for up-to-date information on the transition, including all of CARR’s key documents, and to sign-up to receive email updates from CARR.
