Abstract Using an experimental research design, the paper explores the impact of self-administered survey mode (conventional U. S. mail vs. email survey mode) and the presence (or absence) of a personalized visual image on response rates and on responses to selected satisfaction questions. The research uses a proprietary data base containing data reporting client expectations, satisfaction and repurchase intent following a salient event that occurred during early June 2002. On a random basis, the nearly 700 clients were divided into four experimental groups, based on mode of survey (conventional mail vs. email) and the presence or absence of a personalized visual image on the survey cover letter. Relevant experimental groups are examined with regard to: 1) completion rates; 2) time of completion; 3) data quality, including response rates to an open-ended question; and 4) levels of expressed satisfaction. The authors identify and discuss technical problems that occurred during the implementation of the survey project and discuss the implications of the research for surveying satisfaction with, and marketing of, such events. The authors also report and discuss differences in outcomes between the 2002 satisfaction survey, which was based on a carefully structured experimental design, and the 2001 survey, which was not.
