# Create a Partner Survey

Surveys allow you to collect information from partners to improve or streamline your business. You can survey partners who already joined your program or [upon sign-up](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/reach-out-to-partners/surveys/add-a-survey-to-the-partner-sign-up-page.md). Sign-up surveys are shown to new partners when they apply to your brand. Existing partners can [respond to their surveys](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/surveys/respond-to-brand-surveys.md) on the *Surveys* screen.
