My questionnaire was distributed via online through the SABPP, to a target population of over 8000 members. After a week I only received 17 responses. The questionnaire link was placed on Instagram and Twitter, which increase the responses to a total of 25. What can I do?
First prize would be to obtain actual contact details, e.g. email and phone numbers (for WhatsApp purposes), so that you could send the link and purpose of your survey directly to the sample! Otherwise, the physical distribution of self-administered questions is another option if you have physical access to the sample.
You got to do either one: wait more time and add more propaganda or meet the people face to face in schools or institution's.. Regards
I suggest you give the participants an incentive or prize along with these recommendations:
1. Ask your friends who have similar audiences to post on their social media profiles as well.
2. Share the link on active Facebook groups
3.Personalize the communication with the participants
