Prepaid monetary incentive effects on Mail Survey response
Journal of Business Research, 2004Co-Authors: David Jobber, John Saunders, Vince Wayne MitchellAbstract:Abstract Increasing Mail Survey response using monetary incentives is a proven, but not always cost-effective, method in every population. This paper tackles the questions of whether it is worth using monetary incentives and the size of the inducement by testing a regression model of the impact of prepaid monetary incentives on response rates in consumer and organizational Mail Surveys. The results support their use and show that the inducement value makes a significant impact on the effect size. Importantly, no significant differences were found between consumer and organizational populations.

industrial Mail Surveys
Industrial Marketing Management, 1998Co-Authors: David Jobber, Daragh OreillyAbstract:Abstract This study reports on the experimental studies investigating methods of improving industrial Mail Survey rates since a 1986 review. These later studies confirm the effectiveness of monetary incentives, the use of return stamps, and the granting of anonymity when sensitive information is requested. They also provide insights into new effects such as the use of telephone prenotification, express Mail, using university letter-heading and telephone reminders. The period is also notable for the growth in experimental findings from cross-national industrial Mail Surveys. These results are also reported.

a note on the applicability of the bruvold comer model of Mail Survey response rates to commercial populations
Journal of Business Research, 1993Co-Authors: David Jobber, John SaundersAbstract:Abstract The Bruvold-Comer model of Mail Survey response rates was resred using data from commercial Mail Surveys. The low predictive ability of the model suggested it should not be used when Surveying business people. A new logit model was developed using commercial data and validated with a holdout sample. The new model can be used by researchers as an aid to predicting response from commercial populations for a given Survey design and as a test bed to assess the implications of alternative design configurations.

sample non response bias and aggregate benefits in contingent valuation an examination of early late and non respondents
Journal of Environmental Management, 1993Co-Authors: Michael G Dalecki, John C Whitehead, Glenn C. BlomquistAbstract:Abstract In this paper we information on contingent valuation Mail Survey respondents and non-respondents and find non-response bias with respect to several determinants of willingness to pay. We use data from a combination phone/Mail sampling and Survey approach and find significant differences between early and late respondents, late and non-respondents to the Mail Survey and all respondents and non-respondents to the Mail Survey. We fail to find support for the contention that if early and late respondents are similar, respondents and non-respondents are also similar. The range of aggregate benefit estimates narrows as response rates increase and non-response bias decreases. A weighting approach is used to correct for some of the non-response bias in aggregate benefits.

testing for non response and sample selection bias in contingent valuation analysis of a combination phone Mail Survey
Economics Letters, 1993Co-Authors: John C Whitehead, Peter A Groothuis, Glenn C. BlomquistAbstract:We use a combination phone/Mail Survey to test for possible sample biases in contingent valuation. We find no sample selection bias but do find non-response bias. We show how failure to correct for non-response bias distorts aggregate benefit estimates.

quantifying the influence of incentives on Mail Survey response rates and their effects on nonresponse error
2001Co-Authors: Virginia M Lesser, Don A. Dillman, Frederick O Lorenz, Robert T MasonAbstract:Over the past fifty years, an accumulation of research has shown that financial incentives improve response rates. Our objective is to determine whether or not this still holds true and to determine the impact of incentives on nonresponse bias. A series of eight studies on both student and general populations was conducted to address these topics. The experiments were also designed to investigate how the delivery of the incentive may impact response rates. Financial incentives combined with multiple Mailings continue to improve response rates. Demographic characteristics of the incentive groups were more similar to the selected sample as compared to the control group in most studies. This suggests that estimates produced from studies using financial incentives may have lower mean square error than those studies offering no financial incentives.

development of a standard e Mail methodology results of an experiment
Public Opinion Quarterly, 1998Co-Authors: David R Schaefer, Don A. DillmanAbstract:Review of past E-Mail Surveys indicates that a method- ology to achieve consistently high response rates similar to those that can be obtained by traditional Mail has not been developed. In addition, researchers have tended to use E-Mail Surveys only for populations with universal E-Mail access. This study utilizes knowl- edge from past Mail-Survey research to develop an E-Mail proce- dure. Further, an experiment is conducted to assess the potential for using a multimode strategy to obtain responses from individuals unreachable through E-Mail. The multimode approach proved to be successful and techniques shown to be effective in standard Mail Surveys were also found to be appropriate for an E-Mail Survey.

effects of questionnaire length respondent friendly design and a difficult question on response rates for occupant addressed census Mail Surveys
Public Opinion Quarterly, 1993Co-Authors: Don A. Dillman, Michael D Sinclair, Jon R ClarkAbstract:An experimental study of alternatives to the current U.S. decennial census questionnaire shows that shortening the questionnaire and respondent-friendly questionnaire design improve response, whereas asking a potentially difficult and/or objectionable question, that is, social security number, lowers response. This national study of 17000 household addresses also desmonstrates that relatively high Mail Survey response can be achieved without addressing correspondence to individual names of residents
