“…Consistent with other studies by, for example, Byrom and Bennison (2000), Cycyota and Harrison (2002) and Dennis (2003), we found no evidence of the efficacy of personalizing mail surveys in increasing response rate in a business context. In addition, the inability of personalization to produce significant differences in relation to response speed and response quality has also been evidenced by Childers et al (1980) and Little and Pressley (1980). However, the results of the present study are in contrast to Larson and Chow's (2003) Canadian experiment where response rates were significantly increased to 29.2% with a personalized mailing compared to 25.3% for nonpersonalized.…”

“…", no envelope color effects were found. The non-significant results with regard to the effects of envelope color are of particular importance since they contradict the findings of Little and Pressley (1980). Their study concluded that, although envelope color did not significantly influence response rate or quality, it did affect response speed in that the use of blue or yellow return envelopes over manila resulted in significantly faster replies.…”
