Meetup questions that show what brings people back next month
Ask the people at your local meetup how tonight went, how often they would come and what would bring a colleague. Each question below comes with when to ask it and what the answer tells you.
What meetup feedback survey questions tell you
Meetup feedback survey questions ask the people who came to your local group how the evening went, how easy it was to meet someone new, whether the talks and the mingling were balanced and how often they would come back. A meetup lives on its regulars and the newcomers they bring, and these answers show what makes both return.
Ask at the end of the evening with a QR code on the last slide, or the next morning by email to the people who signed up. Keep the night's survey to three or four questions, such as the rating, whether it was a first visit and the open question, and save the questions about frequency, timing and venue for a survey every few months.
Each written answer is given a theme and a sentiment as it arrives, so topic ideas and comments about the venue sort themselves. People who leave their details appear in a table of names and emails, and a workflow can add them to Google Sheets for your next invitation.
