How to create a brand awareness survey from this template.

  1. 1

    Copy the template

    Log in, or sign up free, after you click “Use this template”. You get your own copy of the 11 questions, with the logic that skips the purchase questions already set. The copy waits in your survey list as a draft.

  2. 2

    Make it yours

    Name your brand in question one if you want it spelled out, and match the channels in question four to your media plan.

  3. 3

    Reach beyond your customers

    Share the link in social channels, embed the survey on partner sites or print the QR code for events. Awareness means something only when people who do not buy from you answer too.

  4. 4

    Track every wave

    Familiarity, how often people buy and where they saw your ads each get a chart. Export the data after each wave and put the waves side by side.

How to read brand awareness survey results.

Your awareness funnel

Question one splits people into loyal buyers, occasional buyers, people who know you but buy others and people who have never heard of you. Track the size of each group from wave to wave.

Which ads people remember

The channel chart shows where people saw your brand. Put it next to your media spend to see which channels people remember.

Loyalty by group

Repurchase intent shows how many buyers you keep. On Basic and higher plans, filter it by age or sex. Export to Excel, CSV or SPSS on any plan.

How to get honest awareness numbers.

  1. Ask outside your customer base

    If only your followers answer, awareness looks higher than it is. Share the link where non-customers are too.

  2. Measure before the campaign

    Run one wave before the campaign starts and another after it ends. The difference is what the campaign added.

  3. Keep the questions the same

    A tracker works when every wave asks the same questions in the same order. Change the wording and you lose the comparison with earlier waves.

  4. Balance each wave

    Set quotas by age or sex so every wave has the same mix of people. Quotas work on every plan.

Questions about this template

What questions should a brand awareness survey ask?

How familiar people are with your brand, whether and how often they buy it, where they saw your ads and whether they would buy again, plus media habits and a short profile. This template asks all of it in eleven questions.

Can I use it as a brand tracking survey?

Yes. Run the same survey at regular intervals, for example every quarter, and compare the results wave by wave. Export each wave to CSV, Excel or SPSS on any plan.

What is the difference between brand awareness and brand recall?

Awareness asks whether people know your brand when they see its name, as question one does. Recall asks which brands come to mind without a prompt. To measure both, add an open recall question before question one.

Why do some people skip questions?

People who say they have never heard of the brand skip to question seven and are not asked about purchases they never made. Logic works on every plan, including Free.

Are the answers anonymous?

The survey asks for sex, age and financial security, but no name or e-mail. Anonymous mode hides IP address, country, browser and device too, on every plan.
