Abstract The utilization of the Internet and Internet marketing for marketing research has received considerable attention. Although there is a growing body of research devoted to this issue little has been done to explore the impact of Internet technology, e-mail users' on-line skills and experience, on their choice of the new survey medium. This study is based on a sample of 122 responses from UK marketing executives using e-mail and mail questionnaire surveys respectively. The research instrument included measures of respondents' extent of e-mail use, their general knowledge of online communications and their time of using the Internet. Some significant impact of these factors has been identified. The empirical evidence supports the hypotheses that the use of e-mail survey methods is positively connected with high technology awareness and extensive e-mail use. The findings imply that proper survey planning and administration are important for Internet-based marketing surveys and suggest the existence of certain user patterns among different Internet user populations.
