PQF saves you time and money- save up to 40% of the usual cost of running surveys.

Some examples of the costs of getting surveys and forms done by other methods -

“Surveying by mail can cost more than US$30 for every response received. Phone survey interviews (can) run US$25 and up for each response, (depending on the sophistication of the audience); survey and focus groups can cost thousands of dollars per person.” The Gartner Group, 2002

Another business working in the electronics industry charges around US$42.50 per sample (total of 200 samples) for a mail study and US$95 per sample (total of 100 samples) for a phone study - including questionnaire design, deployment, tabulation, and reporting).

An Australian company charges approximately A$40-60 per person for a phone survey, between A$60-100 for face-to-face surveys, upwards of A$30 for a mail survey, and upwards of $20 for an electronic survey.
