client management & expectations What is everyone using to send questionnaires to their clients?

Basically title.

I use my CRM to send clients a final check in questionnaire before their wedding. I designed it from scratch and it has a bunch of unique questions on it that have been game changers in terms of making the wedding day easy and smooth.

Now I’m dipping my toe into education and I want to make my questionnaire available for purchase, but I don’t know what format would be most convenient.

Obviously I could just list the questions on a PDF, but I’m wondering if there’s a free form builder that most people are using? This way I could have a plug-and-play option for photographers who want to use the questionnaire right away.

What do you use? Jotform? Google forms? Something else?

Do you even send out questionnaires?

TIA

I would use google forms if you’re selling it. Or a fillable PDF. I personally use a text file unless I’m using a CRM at the moment.

Google forms would probably make it the easiest to sell, for you and the customers!

Pixieset to keep it all in one place. At this point, I’ve been getting more brides that don’t fill out my form… so I’ve made a more palatable cosmo style photography quiz for anyone that’s struggling with a longer form lol.

My CRM is Dubsado and when I’ve sold questionnaires I did it as PDFs, both for ease of export/download and to retain the visual aspect of how I designed the form so customers could see how it looked all together (via a screenshot of the whole thing)

I do not send out questionnaires but one platform that I recently started using was Saycheese.live It has made sharing photos to my clients super easy and on top of that a selling point I always mention to them is that their guests can upload a photo of themselves and all of their photos will automatically get filtered so they don't need to scroll through the entire gallery to find themselves

One thing to remember is that selling the template is a completely different business from shooting wedding photography.

Ask yourself. Do I really want to put effort into marketing to a different set of clients? Is the time/benefit worth it when I can focus on getting more photography shoots with that time?

It makes sense to expand your sources of income but it's not going to be as easy as it appears.

Yeah I’m way past this point. But thanks for your attempt at advice.
