When to send post virtual events surveys?
Ask them right-after the virtual event too, before they have something more important to distract them.
Thus, limit response options to 4, if you can.
Above all, remember that the goal is to get as many answers as you can, so you can get a relevant sampling.
So you don’t want: a) respondents having to spend too much reading through the options, and b) respondents deciding it looks too overwhelming to bother with. Make it quick for your attendee.
