Dillman Method

The Dillman Method is a research approach designed to improve response rates for surveys by carefully timing and tailoring contact methods. It involves multiple, personalized touchpoints—such as emails, letters, or phone calls—often starting with an initial invitation, followed by reminders or thank-you notes. This systematic approach builds trust and encourages participation by making the process feel respectful and convenient. Overall, the Dillman Method aims to gather more accurate data by making it easier and more engaging for people to complete surveys.
