As shown in a research carried out by Capital One, only 9 percent of travelers will book a trip based on brand loyalty. Tough crowd, right? Absolutely, and the truth is, we’re all susceptible to it. In this industry, people are more inclined to just go with the cheapest option. This is why travel organisations have to be more tactical in attracting and engendering loyalty from their customers.
More forward-thinking travel organisations are taking it one step further and setting themselves apart from the myriad of competitors out there and they’re doing this by way of personalised customer experiences – better known to travel marketers as ‘personalisation’.
Here’s a closer look at personalisation in the travel industry and the power of intertwining this customer data with user feedback.

Skeptics of user experience research often point to the following quote attributed to Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” The logic goes that if Ford had conducted user experience (UX) research and listened to his customers, he would have tried to optimize the horse and would never have invented the car. Real innovation cannot happen by simply iterating in response to customer feedback, but instead requires product visionaries that lead solely based on their intuition. What, then, is the value of UX research?

A recent survey by Stanford Social Innovation Review confirmed a surprising fact: in an era where customer feedback is ubiquitous in the for-profit world, both doers and donors in the social innovation sphere struggle to systematically understand the preferences and experiences of the people they are seeking to help: the nonprofit customer.
To be sure, social innovators want to understand their client’s needs. The survey found that 88% of 1,986 respondents reported that “gathering feedback” was one of their priorities in measuring impact. But only 13% were using it as a top source of insight for improving services; and two-thirds said that lack of staff capacity and resources were the major barrier to implementing feedback systems.

There are three core segments in e-commerce: marketplace, payments, and logistics. Of the three, payment is the most sensitive segment for the obvious reason that it handles your customer’s money and therefore, by extension, affects your bottom line.
With that in mind, how do you figure out the types of payments you should accept and how to integrate that into your new online store? What kind of security would you need? And what about compliance with local regulations and standards?

We’ve all heard of Netflix – the media streaming service has around 118 million subscribers, and for Q1 of 2018 they posted a 42% increase in revenue from last year. One of the reasons behind these impressive numbers is that Netflix is a multi-channel success story. That is evidenced by the fact that although 70% of sign ups happen on mobile and desktop computer, 70% of total viewing then happens on TVs. In other words, users of Netflix engage with the platform on a variety of devices, so the transitions between these need to be seamless in order to deliver a truly multi-channel experience.

You can’t please everybody, and the people who design tech interfaces know this truth all too well.
These folks have to consider conflicting suggestions from users to improve the experience on their favorite platforms, but their customers aren’t the only

Each and every page on your website / mobile app serves a different purpose, so why should your feedback buttons be any different? Well they’re not – at least not anymore which is something that many feedback companies have caught onto. In fact, most of these companies know that in order to get the best and most relevant feedback results, you (the user) will want to tweak your feedback forms so that they are aligned with the goals of specific pages or funnels.

A customer-centric approach has always been a fundamental strategy for business. However, lately it seems to have become more of an idyllic vision than a reality.
Technology allows us to reach customers across the globe. But, it has simultaneously driven us further apart. Whereas businesses used to be in tune with their customers' every need, many corporations today have gained a reputation for being both out of touch with their customers, and slow to innovate.

Now if a user says “Hey Google, video call Mom,” up pops Google Duo — as long as the app is installed.
Google Duo, first announced in 2016, is a video chat app — much like Apple’s FaceTime — however, it’s available for both Android and iOS. It has a few features that can’t be found on its rival’s app, such as the ability to leave video messages rather than voicemails, preview the caller’s live camera before answering and it’s also not necessary for both parties to have the app.

An app’s store rating has a tremendous impact on how well an app ranks in the app store and strongly influences what percentage of store listing impressions result in downloads. Many apps (and by extension businesses) live and die with their app store ratings. At the same time, app store ratings are simply a reflection of how well an app is received and how it interacts with its users. Many would-be negative reviews can be circumvented through in-app feedback mechanisms. In turn, many potential positive reviews are left unfulfilled because a user was not properly prompted. This article will explore how apps and app owners can combat negative reviews, successfully solicit positive reviews, and even convert 1-star ratings into 5-stars.
