Journal of the Northeastern Agricultural Economics Council, 1978, vol. 07, issue 01, 3

Abstract: A mail/telephone technique is discussed which achieved a 79 percent response rate at a cost per usable survey which was only about 50 percent above the general average costs for using mailed questionnaires. With proper follow-up techniques this method is capable of yielding even higher response rates at a cost far below personal, face-to-face interviews.
