3 effective ways to solicit customer feedback

Soliciting and acting upon customer feedback is essential for any business looking to provide users with the products they need.  Effective feedback mechanisms may even be more vital for Associations to maintain and grow there membership.

Customer feedback affects your product roadmap and it’s also vital for measuring customer satisfaction among your current customers.

Let us offer up 3 best ways you can solicit customers’ feedback.

 

Customer feedback surveys

Before you begin collecting feedback from customers, you need to make sure you have clearly defined why you are seeking feedback.

Creating a useful customer survey is a very tricky task. There are many potential questions you could be asking your customers, but you should follow a very careful approach.

Follow these instructions to craft a customer survey form:

  • Ask only questions that will help you achieve your end goal
  • Create simple, open-ended questions
  • Must ask one question at a time
  • Refrain from asking leading and loaded questions

 

Feedback Boxes

Do you have an organized process for getting feedback from your customers?

Your customers are always thinking of ways that your business could be better. Maybe parts of your website don’t quite offer them what they’re looking for or maybe they found something that is just not working.

They experience it and can guide you, but generally, with small issues, customers get annoyed and prefer to leave for the time being. If the problem persists, they may end up switching to another option that suits them.

However a small feed box at the corner of the page can get them to report that problem there and then, consequently, you can fix that issue and know more.

 

Google analytics

Most analytics products don’t quite tell us what each visitor is doing. That’s because they are built to track web sites as a whole, not your customers.

But when you use customer analytics, you will be able to see the activity of individual people. When we notice the activity of individuals, it’s much easier to identify the reason why certain results occur. You can then take measures to cater to the issues for better customer experience.

 

Conclusion

Collecting feedback from your customers regularly will lead you to build your business in the right direction.

Experiment with different methods and find the right combination for your business.
