Researchers across countless organizations utilize online surveys to get actionable data, consumer feedback, employee opinions, or identify trends.
While there are countless use cases for conducting online surveys, it takes some skill to cajole a survey response rate that is statistically significant, representative of the sample, and unbiased.
While survey research is becoming more central to many organizations’ operations, the industry has simultaneously been experiencing a decline in survey response rates – for quite some time. This has been a long-running puzzle that dedicated survey programmers have been trying to crack with various tactics.

There are a variety of different ways to collect customer feedback, and surveys are usually the first method that comes to mind.
But that's not the only way to figure out what your customers are saying about your product -- in fact, you could be missing out on valuable customer feedback coming in through a different channel: social media.

Surveys are ubiquitous. Customers have grown accustomed to seeing survey links at the bottom of receipts and receiving survey invitations by email. The good news about the proliferation of surveys is that it shows more companies are taking customer experience (CX) seriously.
The bad news: customers are apt to experience “survey fatigue”—and less likely to respond to survey requests.
You can combat survey fatigue by designing smart surveys that capture meaningful CX feedback from your customers. Our list of five survey mistakes will help you avoid common pitfalls and grow your response rates.

Every executive serious about growing their business also must be serious about understanding what is really happening when it comes to the perception and behavior of customers. Customer Experience, or CX, continues to permeate discussions among leadership teams, service teams, product and marketing teams, and board members as it becomes increasingly clear that winning today is as much about how customers feel about a brand’s offering as the offering itself.
An entire industry has grown up around the measurement of customer satisfaction (CSAT). It arrived on the scene a few decades ago, even before the internet drove customers online, where interactions could be scored based on what customers and prospects did that would lead to a sale -- or no sale.

In a previous article, we introduced three different ways in which you can collect mobile feedback (in-app): Webviews, APIs and SDKs. We explained that each of these methods have their own strengths and weaknesses. From implementation requirements to technical know-how and from internet limitations to performance (once implemented), we just about covered it all. However, now we want to take an even closer look at one method in particular, which happens to be very much on the rise especially in the area of Analytics: mobile SDKs.

Customer experience surveys are a vital part of every business strategy, intended to provide valuable feedback for e-commerce businesses, but difficult to master.
The trick to customer experience surveys and getting people to actually fill them out is to know their purpose, vary the question types, ask questions clearly and consistently, automate wherever possible and offer an incentive.

Customer service surveys allow you to take a peek into your customers’ minds. You can learn about their problems, needs and do something about them. It’s your very own customer service magic. But instead of a crystal ball, you need a few, well worded customer service survey questions.
Without some form of a survey for your customers, you are forced to guess and make estimates when it comes to your customers’ satisfaction. And going only by your gut when making business decisions is not the most reliable option.
Start making more informed business decisions by collecting customer feedback. See what customer service survey questions you should ask and how you should do it to get the best results.

Whether your company is a global brand with millions of fans or a tiny startup with a handful of customers, one thing remains true: Great marketing starts with understanding and empathizing with your customer. It’s the best way to build trust. Gain their trust first, then you’ll earn the opportunity to explain how your product or service solves problems for them.
From our research we know that 63 percent of consumers think marketers are selling them things they don’t need. That tells me that we, as marketers, are breaking this cardinal rule of marketing. We aren't listening.
I recently spoke at the 2019 SaaStr Annual conference about how we need to lean into customer feedback more than we ever have before -- and how using surveys to listen to your customers can create rabid fans for your brand. I’ve translated some of that talk below to show how easy and effective it can be to use customer feedback to accelerate startup growth.
