[edit] History

Created by MarketTools, Inc., a privately held market research company founded in 1997 and headquartered in San Francisco, California in September 1999, Zoomerang was one of the first online survey software tools on the market.[1] Zoomerang was designed to offer survey software as a service for businesses conducting consumer, competitor, and customer satisfaction surveys.[2] Zoomerang reports more than 800,000 registered users.[3]

[edit] Products and services

Zoomerang is an online survey authoring and tabulating tool with various capabilities depending upon the price the user is willing to pay. The free "Zoomerang Basic" version allows the user to create a survey with no more than 30 questions, receive no more than 100 responses, and view the results for a limited time.[4] The pay versions permit larger numbers of questions, more complex sorting of results as well as the ability to export them, and adding the user's own branding rather than Zoomerang's.[5] Related market-research services are also available.
