PRWEB) July 15, 2004 -- Corporate Phone Cards, a major supplier of custom-designed promotional and retail phone cards, is announcing an additional technical benefit which allows clients to obtain answers to survey questions as soon as customers activate their phone cards.

Via a simple process, a caller accesses the Corporate Phone Cards network via a toll free number and enters a unique PIN number assigned to the client’s survey. Next, the caller answers a series of questions by entering the appropriate number on their telephone keypad. Immediately after the caller answers the last question, the phone card is activated for calling.

According to Catherine M. Cavanagh, Corporate Phone Cards president, the most valuable feature is that the client will be able to access a secure web site to review survey statistics in real-time. Cavanagh goes on to say that the survey response rate for clients is expected to be significantly higher than traditional programs because the respondents have access to their cards immediately. Prior to this, a respondent would have to wait several weeks to receive their phone card in the mail.

Jack Mills, Project Manager for Corporate Phone Cards, states that, «Just about all businesses and non-profit agencies could benefit from the new survey program, not just research firms.» «Whether you’re an automobile dealer surveying customers about their recent car repair or service experience or a manufacturer, who wants to obtain consumer feedback about a new hair conditioner», Mills says, «the program is a perfect fit.»
