1. More Responses In Less Time
In a world starving for quick access to information,
waiting hours to days to receive survey results just
doesn’t make sense. Instant Census automated SMS
surveys allow our customers to connect with
and gather feedback from their audiences in
seconds to minutes, not hours to days.
Instant Census interacts with research subjects as if they were holding a text message
conversation with a real, live person: Instant Census texts a question, the respondent texts an
answer, Instant Census parses the answer and determines how to follow up.

Tap Into The Power Of Text Messaging
Instant Census is not a replacement for thorough phone surveys or lengthy email, mail or web
surveys. It’s another tool entirely that enables you to gather data not feasible to collect through
other mediums. When used to complement other survey technologies, SMS can be used as a
reminder tool for email surveys, a delivery system for links to web surveys,
or as a screening and scheduling system for phone surveys. Instant Census
can also be used to communicate important messages to employees or
staff, such as shift schedule changes or new policies.
