Including a self-addressed stamped envelope makes it easier for the respondent to complete and return the survey, as they do not have to pay for postage themselves. This has been shown to increase response rates. However, going to the respondent's home is not a feasible or practical option for most surveys, contacting non-respondents by telephone can be seen as intrusive and may not be feasible for large sample sizes, and not following up with non-respondents can result in lower response rates.
