Are you sending out CX (customer experience) surveys days or even weeks after the customer interaction? If so, have you considered what the consumer’s experience of that might be and how that impacts on their perception of your brand? Or have you thought about some of the great opportunities the delay in your process precludes? Do you wonder what impact the delay has on future survey engagement or worse, customer loyalty?
These are some of the questions I cover in this post. The importance of capturing feedback in real-time should not be underestimated, particularly if you want to impact CX on an individual customer basis. While it is relatively easy to achieve in an online environment, it is much more challenging in a brick-and-mortar context, so I will offer some ideas on how to do it at the end of the post.

On one level, retail marketing is all about getting your brand message across to your customers through channels including online, print, brick-and-mortar store signs and social media. Aside from communicating your message, however, it’s also increasingly about the reverse: listening to your customers.
Constant active listening through monitoring customer feedback and conversations will allow you to improve the performance of your business across the board. It also gives you insights into your business that you may have never noticed another way. Based on my experience, here are five takeaways on using customer feedback.

Customer feedback helps us business owners and marketers understand why our customers are doing what they’re doing and whether you’re able to keep them happy. By communicating directly with them, you can figure out why people are using one feature of your product 3x more than another feature (for example). Encouraging your customers to “give you a piece of their mind”—whether it’s critical or positive—also gives you opportunities to improve your business. If you have a few minutes, I’d like to share with you a few ways for helping your customers feel more comfortable to share their opinions and feedback with you.

Online negativity has hardened many brands to bad reviews. Serve enough customers, the thinking goes, and some are bound to trash you. But just how much damage can an online rant actually do?
Quite a lot, according to Moz. The marketing firm found that one negative article can lose a company as many as 22 percent of its customers. Just four such articles can drive off 70 percent of potential customers — something any business would struggle to bounce back from.

When customers have a positive experience with a company, they’re likely to share their thoughts with an average of nine people. But they’ll share thoughts on negative experiences with about 16 people, nearly double the amount.
Companies are wise to correct any issues that lead to poor experiences before customers share their negative opinions with the masses, but you won’t know what those issues are unless you ask. Customer feedback survey emails are an effective tool for gathering information that can help you craft a positive experience every time.

Having customers who are willing to give feedback about your product or service is a potential gold mine for your company and its growth. The important part is knowing when to listen to the customers and when and how to use their feedback to help your company become better. There are many different ways to accomplish this, and each one has a benefit. The input that you may need might depend on your company's current stage. It also could depend on the tools that you have to collect that information.

Why are bad reviews so destructive? Despite the fact that they’re less trustworthy than most consumers think, consumers continue to base their purchase decisions on them. Pew Research Center found that 82 percent of American adults “sometimes” or “always” read online reviews before making new purchases, 65 percent of whom believe they’re generally accurate. Yet a Journal of Consumer Research study found almost no correlation between professional assessments (in this case, Consumer Reports ratings) and online reviews.
