Are you satisfied?

Why online customer surveys form the bedrock of growth.

Understanding the satisfaction levels of your customers is a critical part of building and maintaining brand loyalty. Loyal customers are the perfect kind of customers. They repeatedly return to purchase your product or service. They tell their friends and family about their positive experience. They talk about you on social media. They may even be willing to pay more too.

Understanding the satisfaction levels of your customers is a critical part of building and maintaining brand loyalty. Loyal customers are the perfect kind of customers. They repeatedly return to purchase your product or service. They tell their friends and family about their positive experience. They talk about you on social media. They may even be willing to pay more too.

Cultivating loyalty by maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction, leads to higher profitability, lower costs, a wider customer base, and a strengthened brand reputation.

None of this can be left to chance – organizations depend on the value they get from satisfied customers. It’s essential to understand your levels of satisfaction and a great way to do this is through an online customer survey.

Whether you sell a product or a service, there’s no second-guessing here; it’s critical to know if your offerings align with market demands. In a competitive world, customer satisfaction intelligence reigns supreme!

What is an online customer satisfaction survey?

To become more customer-focused and improve the customer journey, organizations need unbiased, valid insights to inform accurate decision making. An online survey is a quick and simple way to encourage your audiences to share their experience of your brand.

Ultimately, it’s about improving what you do to perfect your product and service in a way that meets expectations and impacts your bottom line. Surveys, hosted on a website, can help to highlight where you are doing things well and, perhaps more importantly, uncover critical issues in the customer journey that you may not have considered. They are also a great way to spot emerging trends.

[pull quote] “Any customer satisfaction and loyalty program worth its salt will prioritize understanding how businesses can create a best-in-class customer experience and keep customers happy during their whole journey.”

What will you discover with an online customer satisfaction survey?

A website survey can gather the following type of information to help you improve your customer experience (CX):

  • Behavior – how frequently does someone use a product of service, what are the main purchase routes, and how often do they visit your website (and is this via a desktop or smart phone)?
  • Intention – how likely are they to use the product or service again, would they actively recommend the organization to a friend, family member or colleague (NPS), and what new products or services they would also potentially purchase from you in the future?
  • Satisfaction – overall are they happy with the product or service, do they think it’s good value or high quality, and are there any areas for improvement?
  • Experience – this is about every touchpoint a customer has with a brand; is the store easily accessible, can they find items quickly online, is the website easy to navigate, were any complaints or issues swiftly resolved, or what do they think about your marketing communications?
  • Competitor – how does your satisfaction and service levels compare with the competition?

Having this knowledge is invaluable when it comes to retaining and attracting new customers. Satisfaction research helps you determine how well you are meeting the needs of your market and can be used to predict business growth. It also plays a key role in understanding how and what customers think about you and where you stand out.
