This could be something like a chance to win a gift card, or even just a promise to share the interesting results with them later. A little reward or a clear benefit can go a long way in encouraging participation.

Therefore, strategies should focus not just on the quantity of responses, but on encouraging participation from the *intended* population to maintain data integrity.
