The information obtained from questionnaire is unique, fresh, crisp and too the point.
Businesses questionnaires are very important tools as they are representative of the opinions of the customers about the existing and/or proposed products or services which can be analyzed to estimate likely performance of a product/service pre-emptively.
The questionnaires are very successful in estimating the following points:
The buying behaviour of prospective consumers.
The attitude of consumer towards existing or proposed products
The awareness amongst consumers about the product/service/business
Owing to above reasons questionnaires can be called the cornerstone for market research.

Following points should be kept in mind while structuring a questionnaire.
The data in the questionnaires should be randomized.
The questions should not try to force out answers from the participants but should rather seek natural answers from them
Length of a questionnaire should not be more than ten questions, so that participant’s interest and enthusiasm lasts till the very last question.
The venue of conducting a questionnaire should be properly chosen. For example the survey for a washing powder should be conducted in a residential society and not in a football play ground.
In order to attract the participants and make them participate, it is important that they are approached nicely and feel comfortable about it. The participants should be thanked in the end and a proper explanation should be given to them regarding the outcome of the questionnaire.
