Employee Swag Quality & Preference Survey
Measures how employees actually feel about the branded merchandise they receive — quality, frequency of use, and which items feel worth keeping — plus a best-worst trade-off to prioritize future swag spend. An AI follow-up interview digs into the story behind their most memorable item to surface what actually makes swag feel meaningful versus wasted.

Q09
AI Interview
Reconstruct the respondent's experience with the single swag item they remember most, good or bad: what it was, the moment they received it, whether they still use it, and why. If their quality or usage ratings were low, probe specifically what would have made that item feel worth keeping rather than tossed in a drawer. If they mentioned donation-over-swag in the budget question, explore what would need to be true for swag to feel worth it to them instead.

AI-drafted copy

Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond a simple request form to actually measure sentiment: an opinion scale and rating track satisfaction and how often swag gets worn or used
- A best-worst exercise and a $100 constant-sum budget split turn vague preferences into a prioritized ranking of which swag types are worth the spend
- An AI follow-up interview reconstructs the story behind each respondent's most memorable swag item, surfacing the 'why' that scaled/static questions can't reach
- Matrix agreement statements plus department, tenure, and work-style questions let you segment sentiment by team and work arrangement
SurveyMonkey
Employee Swag Request Form TemplateThis is framed as a request/order form for swag logistics (what items, sizes, shipping) rather than a survey measuring how employees feel about swag quality or usage. It's a fielding-ready static form, but it serves a different job than a preference or satisfaction study. Useful if the goal is intake/ordering, not insight generation.
What it does well
- Built on an established, easy-to-deploy survey platform
- Likely quick to set up for simple intake use cases
- Familiar form format for logistics-style requests
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe why an item mattered or was wasted
- No mechanism for trade-off prioritization (e.g., budget allocation or best-worst ranking) to guide future swag spend
- No automated quality scoring or generated report synthesizing open-ended responses
