Collecting more than 140 Million feedback a year from more than 2,000 companies has enabled HappyOrNot to gather an extensive worldwide market intelligence database. In this blog, we want to illustrate the importance of customer feedback and share with you our clients’ perspective on what it means to a business to have readily available customer feedback.
The road to customer success begins with a customer focus. To continue winning the hearts of customers and have a strong customer database requires knowledge and understanding of customers needs. It also pays to know what has attracted them to your product or service in the 1st place. What brands are starting to learn more and more is that the price or wide spread availability is no longer a controlling factor. What makes a customer come back for more and do a repeat business with you is the experience they had with your brand.
The only way to get closer to customers and understand how they perceive your brand is to ask their opinion. Customers are your customer service and experience experts. It is their opinion that matters. With the customer feedback received, all departments within the company can either validate their strategies or change them accordingly. Are you measuring customer experience? If it is good, there is always room for improvement, If it is bad, knowing where improvements are needed most is necessary! From customers, brands can know if their product or service relates and how. Are you listening?

Here is what some of our clients say about the benefits of having customer feedback in their efforts to measure customer experience:
Grocer Suomen Lähikauppa
Suomen Lähikauppa was the 1st client to launch HappyOrNot.
The question “How fresh was the produce today?” was asked in 13 grocery stores. “As the feedback came in, they found that satisfaction with produce freshness rose from some 60 percent to 70 percent and even more than 80 percent in some stores. The direct and timely feedback gave managers the information – and motivation – they needed to better meet the expectations of their customers” (reports Shep Hyken in Forbes)
Duke University Federal Credit Union
“The HappyOrNot kiosks have resulted in a more consistent customer experience,” says Duke University FCU CEO Daniel Berry, CCE, a CUES member. “The presence of the kiosks and the immediate feedback they provide is always in the mind of our staff, encouraging them to be more careful to do their absolute best to serve every person who comes in the door.” Source: www.cues.org

The Shortest Way to Customer Success is Often Overlooked
“The best time to get customers full attention is at a point of service. Whether online or in the store, the task of a seller is to ensure that the buyer is having the ultimate customer experience purchasing your product or service.
