Discount and Promotion Sensitivity Survey
Measures how deal-driven your customers really are: what triggers a discount-motivated purchase, whether frequent promotions erode brand perception, and how willing shoppers are to pay full price. An AI follow-up reconstructs the last purchase decision they made under a discount to separate genuine price sensitivity from habit.

Q09
AI Interview

If they flagged quality concerns from frequent discounting, ask for a specific example.

That's everything — thank you! Your responses will help us decide when and how much to discount without training customers to only buy on sale.

AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
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
- Includes an AI follow-up interview block that reconstructs the respondent's actual last discount-driven purchase, separating genuine price sensitivity from habitual deal-seeking rather than relying on hypothetical self-report.
- Combines quantitative trade-off methods (best-worst trade-off, point-allocation) with attitudinal measures (matrix, rating-scale) so you get both stated priorities and a forced-tradeoff ranking of what really drives purchase decisions.
- Asks for the smallest discount threshold that would change a buying decision, giving a concrete pricing lever instead of vague sensitivity scores.
- Automated per-response quality scoring and an auto-generated report mean the open-ended AI follow-up data is usable without manual coding.
SurveySparrow
Price Sensitivity Questionnaire TemplateA fielding-ready questionnaire template focused on price sensitivity, likely covering standard willingness-to-pay style questions. It's a static question set built for quick deployment rather than a discount-behavior deep dive. No mention of adaptive follow-up or purchase reconstruction.
What it does well
- Ready-to-use price sensitivity template
- Part of a broader survey platform with distribution and reporting tools
- Likely supports standard question types (scales, multiple choice) for quick setup
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to reconstruct a specific past purchase decision
- No published per-response quality scoring or prompt transparency
- Static questionnaire format can't probe deeper into individual respondent reasoning
Typeform
Price Sensitivity Survey TemplateA conversational-style form template aimed at gauging price sensitivity, benefiting from Typeform's polished UX and completion rates. It's a fixed question flow, not an AI-driven interview, so all respondents get the same static prompts. Good for quick directional signal, less suited to distinguishing habit from true sensitivity.
What it does well
- Clean, high-completion-rate form design
- Easy to customize and brand
- Simple setup for standard price sensitivity questions (e.g., Van Westendorp-style)
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up questions based on individual answers
- No voice AI interview or guided task/screen-share option
- Lacks automated quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology for open text responses
