The next option is to send an Email Survey. Many benefits come from this option as you can quickly send to various groups within your network simply by searching in the green dropdown. You can create a Panel and simply add all email addresses in this group. Using the email survey you can also control when you want to send the email out. Also this uses an Anonymous Qualtrics Email address so that your own personal inbox does not become flooded with emails.
