Survey Help

How can I take a survey?

Surveys are only available via email and can not be found on our site. When we have a new survey for you, we will send you an email from survey@npdor.com. To assure that you receive all of your surveys, we suggest that you add this address to your email address book.


When you receive the email, it will contain a link to the survey. You should be able to start the survey simply by clicking on the link. If you can't click on the link, copy it into a new browser window.

When will I receive a survey?

When you will receive a survey depends on the needs of our clients at the time. Since these needs constantly change, it is difficult to predict how many surveys you will receive. Panelists may receive up to several surveys per month, but they may be less frequent for some. Unfortunately, we are not able to grant requests for additional surveys.

Do I have to complete every survey?

No, participation is voluntary. Although we'd love to have you complete as many surveys as possible, if you do not wish or are unable to complete a survey, feel free to disregard it and wait for the next one.

How long is each survey available for?

In most cases, our surveys are available for a week to two weeks from the date of the original invitation.

I am having trouble opening my survey link.

You should be able to start your survey by clicking on the link in your email invitation. If this does not bring you to the survey, you may have to copy and paste the entire link, beginning with http://, into your browser's address bar. For instructions on how to copy and paste, click here.

I received an error message during the survey.

Occasionally our site experiences periods of high traffic, and as a result server response time may be affected. Panelists may experience difficulty opening a link, or moving between pages.


If you were unable to complete your last survey, please do so using the original link we sent you. The portions that you completed will remain filled in, and you can click through using the arrows on the bottom of the page to the part of the survey which is incomplete.

I am having trouble getting past a certain page in the survey.

You can advance between pages in the survey using the arrows on the bottom of the page. Should pressing the arrow fail to advance the survey, check the top of the page for blue text which will provide instructions for completing each question (e.g. Please select an answer, Select All that Apply, Rank the Selections from 1-10).


If you are still unable to get past the page, please send an email to janet_hall@npdor.com for further assistance.
