Our surveys are designed to gather opinions on a wide range of products and services. We may need your opinions on anything ranging from laundry detergent to automobiles; current events to computers. The client conducting the survey determines the topic and the qualifications for each of the surveys.

The survey may not open due to a pop-up blocker installed in your browser. Disable the pop-up blocker or hold down the CTRL key when using the survey link.

If you are an AOL member, you may need to activate the links located in the message.

At the top of the email message you will see a “Show images & enable links” link next to a small shield. Click on this link and this should allow you to use the links in the message.

To prevent this from happening in the future, please also be sure that in your content filter the box labeled “Block Mail with clickable hyperlinks (URLs)” is not checked, and that you add support@surveysavvy.com and invite@surveysavvy.com to your address book.

It is possible you were inadvertently re-invited to a survey in which you had already participated. For more information, please forward the email invitation to support@surveysavvy.com.

All of our surveys include screener questions that determine whether a respondent matches our clients’ criteria and fits into an open quota group for that particular survey. If you do not match our client’s demographic criteria for the survey, or you do not fit into an open quota group based on the answers you provide in the screening section, you will not be asked to complete the survey.

These questions are asked to ensure we are gathering opinions from a representative portion of the population. Our clients determine which section of the population they want to interview for any given survey.

Please do not be concerned if you have done all of the above and still have not received a survey invitation. We are working diligently to expand our clientele to ensure that you will have the opportunity to participate as soon as possible.

You may not have received the activation email due to spam-blocking software used by your email program. If you have any spam-blocking software, please add the email addresses support@surveysavvy.com and invite@surveysavvy.com to your address book or white-list. Doing this will ensure that you receive all SurveySavvy invites and membership related email messages.

Depending on the response from our members, some surveys will close sooner than others. It’s likely that the survey closed after we had sent you an invitation, but before you attempted to participate.
