Questions to use

Start with the complete working structure, then adjust the language, timing, and incentive to fit your customers and brand.

Best used when

Your team has a specific decision or growth objective and needs a focused artifact to move from planning to launch.

1

What are you working toward right now?

single choice

Suggested answers

Building strengthLosing weightRecovery or rehabEndurance or an eventBuilding a routine that sticksGeneral health

Why ask it: The one answer that changes every email, bundle, and challenge invitation afterwards. It records the customer's own intention rather than any promise about the product, which keeps it usable in every market you sell into.

2

Have you used it yet?

single choice

Suggested answers

Yes, more than onceYes, onceNot yet, still to set it upNot yet, waiting on somethingNo, I am thinking about sending it back

Why ask it: Sent five to seven days after delivery, this catches the return before the window closes. Every answer below used it once is a support task with a deadline attached, not a row in a dashboard.

3

How easy was it to get set up and start using?

rating

Why ask it: A setup score per product, which is the number that predicts returns on anything that arrives in a box. A single item scoring below the store average usually explains most of your returns line on its own.

4

What made getting started harder than it needed to be?

open text

Why ask it: Names the exact step that stalls people: a bolt that will not line up, an app that failed to pair, a manual with no diagram. AI analysis in Surveys clusters the answers, and one video usually clears the biggest cluster.

5

Is this for you or a gift?

single choice

Suggested answers

For meA gift for a partner or family memberA gift for a friendShared, we will both use it

Why ask it: Changes who the onboarding email should be written for. Setup tips sent to a buyer who will never use the product are how good equipment ends up unopened in a garage in February.

6

What made you hesitate before ordering?

multiple choice

Suggested answers

The priceWhether it would lastWhether I would actually use itSpace at homeShipping or deliveryNothing, I was ready to buy

Why ask it: High-value fitness objections are usually durability and self-doubt rather than price. Whichever answers win tell you what reassurance belongs above the fold and how explicit your warranty copy has to be.

7

How often are you using it in a typical week?

single choice

Suggested answers

Most daysTwo or three timesAbout onceNot yet, but I plan toI have stopped using it

Why ask it: Asked a month in, frequency predicts the second order and tells you who will finish a challenge. The customers who have stopped are a re-engagement list with a reason attached, if you follow up and ask for it.

What this template gives you

Three specifics worth checking against your own store before you launch.

Seven questions covering goal, first week, and return risk

Written to reward habits rather than to promise outcomes

Timed to land inside the return window, not after it

How to put it into practice

How to put it to work

Start with the focused version, publish, and let the first answers steer the next iteration.

  1. 1

    Ask the goal and the gift question at checkout, while the order confirmation is still on screen

  2. 2

    Send the setup and first-use questions on day five after delivery, inside the return window

  3. 3

    Follow up at 30 days with the frequency question and give the stopped answers a real reply

Mistakes to avoid

Protect the quality of the result

Strong execution usually comes from removing ambiguity and keeping every action tied to the original objective.

Asking about setup a month later, once the return is already booked

Reading returns as a store number instead of finding the product that owns them

Assuming the buyer is the user, then emailing setup tips to the wrong person

Rewarding results in the follow-up instead of asking about the habit

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers before you launch

When should a fitness brand send a post-purchase survey?

Twice, for different reasons. Goal and gift at checkout, while attention is highest. Setup and first use around day five after delivery, early enough that a video or a replacement part can still prevent a return. On higher-priced equipment, a thirty-day frequency question is a useful third touch.

How do I ask about progress without making health claims?

Ask about behavior rather than results: whether they have used it, how often, and what made starting hard. Behavior is a fact you can act on, it predicts repeat purchase better than a self-reported outcome, and it keeps your emails, ads, and contest rules well clear of claims territory.

Can I use this template with my own tools?

Yes, the question set is free to copy anywhere. Surveys adds the order link, so a setup complaint arrives attached to the product, the variant, and the order value, and you can read first-week answers per item instead of as one store-wide average.
