Surveys for customer satisfaction, reservation forms for restaurants and pop-up stores, market research forms—there truly are countless types of survey forms out there. As a result, simply typing “XXX form” into a search engine yields plenty of templates, but in many cases, the designs are lacking or it’s tough to leverage the resulting data, making them less appealing to use.

Here at Team Walla, we’re always thinking about how to make life easier for our users—like offering a logic map where you can see an entire survey structure at a glance, or supporting third-party app integrations for smooth connections with existing workflows. Recently, however, a whole range of convenient services have been released across various fields, and as consumers experience these services, their standards for “convenience” keep rising. For us at Walla, that’s a new source of motivation and excitement.

Many of you are already familiar with Google Forms, with its easy accessibility that makes it a great tool for quick and simple form creation. However, if you want more than just “simplicity” and hope to gain meaningful insights, its biggest advantage can quickly turn into a downside. Not only are you unable to individually control logic flows for different survey objectives, but to make deeper use of aggregated data, you have to switch over to a separate spreadsheet and manually use pivot tables. That’s why Walla wants to show you what “real convenience” looks like. That is, how you can freely control survey logic to derive meaningful data, and how you can handle every customer touchpoint—from data collection to payment—right in Walla.

While Walla’s strength lies in its intuitive UI, straightforward layout, and easy customization, we also realize it’s not always simple to find a survey template that perfectly suits your needs. Therefore, instead of just providing “recipes” (i.e., basic instructions) for making your desired “dish” (your survey), we decided to provide a “meal kit” that covers every step up to the final bite.

1. Our First Featured Survey Template: Newsletter Subscription

Newsletters are regular publications sent out by a variety of brands, organizations, and institutions to their readership. Beyond simply delivering information, they serve as a key channel for branding and marketing, even offering special promotions. While promotional activities to attract new subscribers are certainly important, it’s the sign-up form itself that’s often the crucial final step before the reader officially subscribes.

Even with a ready-made survey template, handling everything from creation to data collection can be a bit cumbersome—especially for new and emerging brands with limited manpower. Here’s where our Newsletter Subscription Template comes in. We wanted to make getting started quick and easy for anyone, and to keep all subsequent data collection and analysis straightforward. By using hidden fields, for instance, you can track the exposure and click rates for different media channels, as well as measure interest by job category—helping you reduce wasted budgets and target more effectively. You can also set up a webhook integration so that once a form is submitted, the subscription is handled automatically, eliminating extra steps.

Designs that are too plain, a complicated process of sifting through accumulating data, and long working hours—why not look to Walla for a different approach to branding and workflow so you can wrap up your day earlier?

2. Our Second Featured Survey Template: Cake Order Form

On special occasions, people often purchase items like cakes or flowers—things they wouldn’t normally buy. A quick scroll through social media reveals all sorts of amazing creations, and beyond just cakes, there are numerous unique bakery and accessory sellers. Yet, many of these businesses are run by small-scale proprietors, and unlike large corporate brands that have their own in-house ordering services, setting up a customer-friendly ordering system can be quite challenging.

At first glance, you might think it’s just a simple order form. But for small bakeries run by a single person, handling real-time communication, order confirmations, payment confirmations, and scheduling can feel like having to be in ten places at once. That’s why we decided to introduce a special Cake Order Form Template.

Not only does it collect the information your customers want to share, but it also simplifies the entire order process—even allowing for branding through page customization. You can create a dedicated ordering space for your brand without spending huge amounts of time or money, rivaling the ordering systems of major corporations. Plus, by adding our Toss simple payment feature, you can reduce the time you spend manually verifying payments, and offer your customers a straightforward payment experience—something many small businesses haven’t been able to provide in the past. All the collected information then automatically syncs with your calendar for more efficient scheduling, which is our ultimate goal at Walla.

Now, with the extra time you gain, you can invest more in promoting your brand, share its story, and watch it grow into something even more spectacular. Doesn’t this sound like the ideal form?

In addition to these, Walla offers a variety of customizable survey templates for all sorts of situations. Why not take a look at what’s available for your needs?
