Ottum Research & Consulting, a customer insights consultancy, saw a dramatic increase in survey response rates when it automated its survey rewards system with the Xoxoday Plum and SurveyMonkey integration.
Ottum Research & Consulting is a market research firm focused on helping corporate clients gain critical insights into their customers’ behaviors, wants and needs. These insights enable successful million-dollar decisions in both marketing and new product development. Ottum Research & Consulting has successfully executed over 300 surveys in diverse markets for different types of industries, from consumer goods to technology, healthcare, and others.
Brian Ottum, a customer insights and analytics expert, had conducted several surveys in the past, combining them with survey rewards, for innovation and product development. However, they had followed a manual rewards procurement and distribution process in the past. While the surveys were conducted through SurveyMonkey, the rewards for survey respondents had to be physically procured, intimated via email, packed and shipped to each individual, and manually logged and tracked using sheets.

"It's wonderful to have the Plum integration for B2B surveys. SurveyMonkey being my number-one survey tool, this integration automatically made the process of sending rewards to survey respondents seamless, and I plan to continue using Plum."
Brian’s survey campaign was a success as his team gathered enough responses and insights necessary for the new training course. They distributed more than a hundred rewards through Plum across the US geography. They plan to scale their efforts by plugging Plum rewards into new survey campaigns across different sales and marketing verticals.
"Xoxoday Plum helped us automate the rewards fulfillment for the survey campaign, thus saving time and expenses. The overall response rates to the instant gift cards have been great."
