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.
