Knowing how to gather and use customer feedback is what can eventually turn a small business into a multinational corporation, and there are statistics to prove it. Customer feedback can have the similar impact on the auxiliary services on college campuses as well. As we all know, loyal customers can grow a business much faster than regular sales or marketing can. It is because it’s 5 to 25 times more costly to acquire a new customer than to keep an already-existing one happy. Secondly, the no.1 source of new leads is customer referrals. And lastly, loyal customers purchase 90% more and spend 60% more than new customers.
While these statistics don’t mean that you shouldn’t be trying to get new customers, they do, however, reinforce that keeping your existing customers and students happy makes good business sense. And to do that, you will need to center your entire business strategy on customer feedback.
So, here is the most efficient way to build a long-term strategy around customer feedback.

When you use the phrase “capturing the voice of the customer”, many immediately think you’re referencing a survey designed for direct feedback. But today there are more channels than ever for the customer to engage with brands. Although survey feedback can be nicely packaged and easy to digest, it’s important to make sure you’re listening to customers in all of the many ways they give feedback.

Customer feedback is the best source we have for collecting the consumer insights we need to improve our businesses. Asking for feedback, analyzing it and implementing product/service fixes where necessary can make all the difference for building brand loyalty and achieving success.
In fact, the most successful businesses today take the thoughts and feelings of their customers seriously. It's been clear to me, offering my company's, Varidesk's, products through Amazon that that retail giant sets the standard. It gathers customer insights, data and feedback, then uses that information to drive innovation in operations.

The old adage “the customer is always right” may frustrate some companies, but getting to the heart of the customer voice through robust data aggregation and analysis tools has never been easier. Social media has now given everyone a feedback channel that customer service organizations can harness to improve offerings and stay competitive.
Perficient recommends a solution that captures not only the customer voice but the employee voice as well. After all, large service-based organizations such as cable, telecom and satellite providers often distribute service to their own employees.
In addition, employees may hold valuable customer trends not evident in customer feedback surveys. A feedback environment should be created to welcome and reward constructive feedback. It is also critical the organization act quickly and efficiently on that feedback to implement positive change.

Consumer tastes can change on a dime.
The attitudinal undercurrents can be mystifying, difficult to detect, alien to interpret, dangerous to place a sizable bet on, and visible only in retrospect.
Can research help marketers anticipate these shifts and get ahead of the curve to identify trends?

Big data is big, and it’s only getting bigger and more complex. Companies are collecting customer information across channels, including text, voice call, online and chat. As customers find new ways to communicate with their companies of choice, the amount of data will continue to grow. Collecting that information is a great start, but the bigger question is whether companies are actually doing anything with it.

When you first start selling online, receiving negative customer feedback can feel like a real kick in the teeth. You’ve put in all the hard work to get the order out but have fallen short of your customer’s expectations and are now worried about your reputation, not to mention how it might affect your metrics.
With experience though, you start to realize that negative customer feedback is just part of selling online and shouldn’t be taken to heart. In fact, if you use it creatively, it can even present you with an opportunity to shine.
