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.

Business owners are often tasked with managing countless customer requests. They should also be keenly aware that they need not allow their business plans to be driven solely by these requests — or at least not by requests which they haven’t done their due diligence on. So, if you are a business owner wondering how to deal with the constant stream of customer requests and feedback, this one is for you.
What is the role of customer feedback in formulating your business strategies and how do you transform qualitative customer requests into actionable data to inform business decisions? How do you know which requests to act on, which ones are high-priority and which ones to simply ignore?

The holiday season is in full swing. And while most ecommerce businesses have been preparing for this for months already, we can’t help but notice that many of these same businesses are missing one important element in their strategies. Sure, they’ve optimised their mobile apps, set up various discounts and promotions to reel customers in, and updated their merchandising strategies…But what about the customers? How are they experiencing the holiday rush? Are there certain funnels in which they’re struggling?

For startup founders, passion for your business comes naturally. But customer service? Sometimes, not so much. While it is easy to obsess over every product or service feature, businesses need to prioritise building relationships with their customers from day one.
This is critical in the overall success of a business, given a product is only as good as the customer buying or using it says.
That said, cultivating a relationship with your customers can be difficult. At the heart of it all is being committed to listening, as awkward and painful as some customer conversations may be. This will help you gather invaluable feedback to build a product or service that truly meets their needs.
