Abstract | An important goal for postal surveys is maximization of the response rate. A high response rate improves confidence in the results and minimises costs. Response rates are known to be declining as the use of surveying has increased, particularly when the telephone is used. Members of the public, and farmers, now face surveys for commercial purposes rather than for the public good, and this has lessened the appeal of responding to surveys. A variety of literature is available that considers survey response rates and factors that influence them. These factors are often considered in highly specialised and specific contexts, for example, for postal questionnaires, for telephone interviews and more recently comparisons between postal and electronic (e-mail or Internet) questionnaires. To consider all of the literature would be inappropriate and as a result these authors have focused on a range of general points that are relevant to postal surveys. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
