The power of branding cannot be denied. The most popular brands can be immediately recognized just by a logo: The golden arches, the swoosh, the apple, the list goes on. So, when you’re creating a survey, it’s important to use your own branding to reduce confusion among participants and build brand consistency. In this blog, we’ll look at the importance of branded, or “white label” surveys, and how to create one.

What is White Labeling?
In a nutshell, white label products are created by one party, then branded and sold by another party. Common white label products include water bottles and mugs, cosmetics and medications, and phone and pet accessories. These products are created by a manufacturer, and left unbranded or with a “white label”. Then, a retailer or brand purchases them and puts their branding on them for re-sale.
What Is a White Label Survey?
White label services work in very much the same way. When you use a SurveyLegend online survey at the “Business” level, you can add your own logo to the top and upload a custom background. You can also create custom welcome and thank you pages, further emphasizing your brand messaging.
What to take it further? Upgrade to our “Legendary” subscription level and you can also remove the SurveyLegend watermark from the bottom of the survey (“Powered by SurveyLegend”). This makes the survey completely your own, so participants will never know a third-party was involved.
7 Benefits of White Label Surveys
There are many advantages to using white label surveys, some of which we touched upon already. So why white label you survey? Here’s the rundown of 7 white label survey benefits.
1. Maintaining Brand Consistency
Keeping your brand consistent across all mediums and online platforms is important to make an impression on customers. After all, the more people see your brand, the more you’ll be top of mind when they’re considering making a purchase. Studies show it takes an average of 5 to 7 impressions for people to remember your brand.
2. Reducing Audience Confusion
When a survey comes from a third-party, but talks about your brand, respondents can become confused. They may believe it’s an online survey scam, thinking that it’s simply trying to collect and use their information. Read more in our blog How Online Survey Scams Work and 7 Ways to Spot Them.
3. Minimizing Time Waste
If you send out surveys frequently, this can become very time-consuming, especially for small businesses with few resources. By using a third-party that specializes in surveys, you can send out white label surveys with ease and frequency. This allows your team to focus on other more pressing tasks.
4. Saving Money
While free white label surveys are uncommon, the cost is still minimal when compared to the costs incurred by having an internal team create branded surveys from scratch, and give them all the bells and whistles an online survey company can provide.
5. Gaining Extra Features
If you’re not an expert on creating surveys, there’s a lot to learn and questions to ask. How do you ensure confidentiality or anonymity? Can you make it responsive? What are the most useful analytics? With a professional survey company like SurveyLegend, all this and more is easily accomplished. Additionally, if you have a question, a survey expert will be on hand to help (just be sure the online survey company offers good customer support).
6. Collecting More Responses
When a survey respondent is unsure of who is sending a survey, they can become confused and may even think the survey is an online scam. With a branded survey, understanding and trust are gained, which increases response rate.
7. Building Brand Loyalty
An effective brand identity gains the trust of consumers over time. By using white label surveys, you put your brand in front of people and become top of mind. When this happens, they’re more likely to make return visits and purchases, and possibly recommend your brand to others, becoming “brand advocates.” Because SurveyLegend allows you to add images to your surveys, be sure to read our blog How a Picture Survey Helps with Branding (with Examples), which will show you how picture surveys or picture polls can be used to help you:
