According to a 2015 study by Social Media Link, 83 percent of shoppers discover new products every month through customer reviews and social media.
This demonstrates how consumers today actively look for and engage with information that comes not from salespeople or traditional advertising, but from fellow consumers.
It therefore makes sense that search engines are placing greater importance on online reviews and customer feedback shared publicly on digital channels.

Negative feedback from customers can be a hard pill to swallow. It often feels unjust, unhelpful and inaccurate. Even the most professional business owners can be defensive and emotional in the face of criticism. And while business owners may intellectually know negative customer feedback is critical to improving their business -- a 10-percent increase in Net Promoter Score (NPS) can correlate with a six to seven-percent increase in revenue -- the hard bit is constructively incorporating it.
This article includes seven things every business, small or large, can do to extract as much value as possible from negative feedback.

With rising customer expectations, the need to deliver an exceptional customer experience (CX) is at an all-time high. And frankly, the best way to achieve this superior level of CX is to visualise it – which is often done using a process called customer journey mapping. A customer journey map essentially tells the story of the customer’s experience – which starts at the initial point of contact all the way through to a long-term relationship – giving us critical information about key interactions along the way. For this process to be a successful one and because it can be quite complex, many business seek the assistance of customer journey mapping tools.

The digital transformation has forced the customer experience (CX) to the forefront of every company’s priority list. And when it comes to CX, there is clearly no shortage of customer feedback to be had. From social media to chat bot records—and from verbatim surveys to old-school focus groups—today’s businesses have an ever-present flow of customer feedback at their fingertips. So why are so many companies falling short when it comes to this bedrock of customer engagement?

Just as you are, your customers are bombarded by digital information each day. As the noise increases, it grows increasingly challenging to gain and keep your customers’ attention.
In my new blog for Customer Think, I discuss how digital feedback management solutions offer a less intrusive approach.

If “the customer is always right” is the golden rule of customer service, then “treat each customer as an individual” should be the golden rule for brand marketing. Every consumer wants to feel as though the brands they support view them as a unique entity, rather than another customer identification number.
For years, brands were able to get by delivering mass communications and services to their buyers, but those days are gone. Today’s consumers want assurance that brands hear their unique voices, consider their original feedback, and deliver products and services that are tailored to their personal lifestyle needs.

Here’s the scenario: You have a new app that is (you think) ready for its debut in the public spotlight. Your boss just wants to do one last check to make sure everything goes as planned – are there clear instructions? Is it intuitive? Will users “get” it? Your boss wants to get feedback from real users before the app goes live. Fair enough. That’s doable (you can send it to your friends and family). There’s one catch though: your main users are in France, Germany, and China (where your friends and family, unfortunately, aren’t) and all this feedback has to be in hands of the product team within four hours…

“We know this solution is more usable based on the feedback the usability tests provide us with, but it’s just a bit boring,” was the heartbreaking feedback the agency received from their client. “There’s no way our users wouldn’t know what that interface control means.”
You might think that the arrogance of speaking on behalf of users without ever having met one – or, worse still, ignoring user feedback if it doesn’t suit – represents a luxuriant hubris for the tiny minority of organisations so successful and with such desirable products that their users will take what they are given. However, this author’s experience suggests that this outlook is more prevalent than it should be, based on what we know about the close relationship between how organisations treat their customers online and commercial success.
