Understanding Customer Sentiments by Implementing a Modern Customer Feedback System

Dubai is a central hub for business activities in the region and providing a doorway to access Africa, Middle East, Asia and European markets. Major cities in UAE like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other emirates are home to international commerce, trade and businesses. It is due to the super business-friendly government policies, world-class infrastructure and dynamic business landscape which is attracting thousands of investors every year. This makes UAE a great business hub, thus also raising the competition. In general the customers have higher purchase power, they are more tech savvy and highly demanding. Every increasing customer needs and highly competitive markets demand businesses to be more aligned with customers by acquiring deeper understanding of customer sentiments. Offering high-quality products and services alone is not enough for success, businesses must have to align themselves with customer needs, desires, and expectations. Businesses often invest huge amount of resources in improving internal processes, adding features to their products, introducing new services and enhancing customer experience. However, most of the time businesses are making such decisions on the bases of experts’ opinion, competitive market research and various other factors, while totally undermining the customer sentiments. Which sometime could cause huge failures too. In this blog we will discuss how businesses can understand customer sentiments by implementing a good customer feedback system.

What is Customer Sentiment Analysis?

A customer sentiment analysis is a systematic approach of understanding and interpreting the customer attitude, emotions and opinions a customer shared or expressed towards your brand, employees, products, services or his/her overall experience with your business. It is a much deeper understanding of customer feedback than that of what we usually do. When it comes to customer feedback businesses often thinks of collecting feedback data using various manual or digital channels such as printed feedback forms, happiness meter, NPS Score, social media polls, or rating at a website. However, the customer sentiment analysis is collecting all that data, running it through a system and understanding how the customer actually feels while sharing a certain opinion. The primary objective of performing a customer sentiment analysis is to understand how your customers feel about a particular aspect of your business such as new product features, customer wait time, service quality, online self-service channel, etc. Thus the customer sentiment analysis goes beyond tradition categorization of customer feedback such as positive, negative or neutral and offers a much deeper, accurate and better understanding of customer sentiments, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions and raise their chances of success.

How Customer Sentiment Analysis is Different from Traditional Customer Feedback?

The customer feedback collection is a common practice, businesses regularly ask customers about their feedback, suggestions or opinion. Usually a customer experience manager is in charge of executing the customer feedback drive. Business often go for a closed-loop customer feedback collection method which is much better at building relationship and increasing customer engagements. However, all traditional customer feedback methods lack in providing a deeper understanding of customer sentiments. This doesn’t mean the customer sentiment analysis is a completely different process, no, it is same as collecting customer feedback, but the major difference is at how you process the feedback data. Here are some key components of customer sentiment analysis which distinguish it from traditional customer feedback management processes:

Text Mining: This is the most common sentiment analysis method, it enables businesses to collect valuable insights from textual feedbacks, such as survey responses, suggestions, customer reviews, social media interactions, and all other textual forms of customer feedback.
Natural Language Processing or NLP Analysis: That is a modern and one of the most complex form of analysis, it uses modern AI (artificial intelligence) and smart algorithms to analyze written or spoken feedback and provide context, sentiments, and semantics of the feedback data.
Contextual Analysis: A contextual analysis is done using advanced analysis tools and certain feedback techniques which enable businesses to understand the actual context in which the customer has expressed certain sentiments to avoid misinterpretation.
Sentiment Classifications: Once collecting customer feedback data and analyzing it to identify different sentiments, we must classify them in certain pre-define categories. These categories are more granular then just positive, negative or neutral and help taking right decisions.
Machine Learning (ML): This is one of the most modern sentiment analysis technique, usually medium and large sized businesses implement it. An AI model is used for this analysis which is trained to identify patterns and sentiment indicators from a large feedback database.

In simple words, understanding customer sentiments is crucial for a business to acquire actionable insights that effectively aligns their strategic decisions with the customer needs, expectations, and desires. Businesses can leverage customer sentiment analysis to improve their products, services, customer experience, brand perception and reputation and for predictive insights. This is what makes customer sentiment analysis far more effective than traditional customer feedback management.

How Customer Sentiment Analysis is Different form Tradition Customer Feedback?

The Transformation of Customer Feedback Systems

The customer feedback systems have completely transformed over the time, starting from a paper-pen based printed feedback forms it has now become a more comprehensive and complex digital platform. Which not only enhance customer feedback system but also offer a more engaging and seamless customer experience. Primarily the customer feedback systems were designed to monitor and measure customer satisfaction, however, over the course of time, the customer feedback management itself have transformed into a more complex and comprehensive business process. Therefore businesses took advantage of digitalization and automation by implementing modern customer feedback system, which are providing more detailed customer feedback data, with highest level of accuracy and convenience. In past the customer feedback was collected through the paper forms, which were then processed, and the data was digitalized, mostly excel sheets were used. The customer experience manager or relevant person had to perform the analysis manually in excel or any other program of their choice. This means from collecting the feedback to converting it into actionable insights, it could take weeks or even months if the data is large enough.

However, with the advancement of technology the modern customer feedback systems are able to collect, store, process and analyze the customer feedback data in real-time. All branches or touch points can be connected through a centralized customer feedback management system. This also allow integrating more digital channels such as touchscreens and tablets, emails, online surveys, SMS, WhatsApp, web forms and even social media and several other online channels. It is this ability to integrate the customer interaction from many channels into a single cohesive and centralized platform, makes modern customer feedback systems superior. Furthermore the rise of digital communication channels and ever-changing customer preferences also encourage businesses to adopt to a multi-dimensional and diverse feedback management system. The ability to collect customer feedback data and provide real-time analysis, reports and insight is incredible. Businesses can leverage it to greatly improve customer relationship and gain their trust. Real-time customer feedback data and reporting can greatly enhance visibility and provide management more time and room to take effective actions. Therefore a modern customer feedback system is essential for customer feedback management and customer sentiment analysis.

The ability to collect customer feedback data and provide real-time analysis, reports and insight is incredible.

Why Customer Feedback System is Essential for Customer Sentiment Analysis?

Think of reading out hundreds of customer comments on social media, or emails, or think of reading out hundreds of feedback forms, and then analyzing the data to get accurate understanding of customer sentiments. Will it be possible, no, it won’t. One can only read and comprehend handful of feedbacks by just reading them, but if your feedback dataset consists of hundreds if not thousands of feedbacks and as many are coming from two different channels, or even it could be from 8 to 10 different channels, it is absolutely impossible for a human being to read out all those feedbacks and understand the insight. That can only be done with the aid of a computer or specialized program. A modern customer feedback system does the same. It is capable of collecting thousands of feedbacks from various different sources, classifying and categorizing them automatically using smart algorithms, performing several analysis on the feedback data and producing actionable reports within blink of an eye. That is why a customer feedback system is absolutely essential for modern customer feedback management and understanding customer sentiments analysis. It is not only about the size of the data, but different communication channels offer different types of feedback and different levels of details and context which is why a comprehensive framework is necessary which can systematically process the feedback data and provide valuable insight for strategic decision making.

Conclusion

In the modern business landscape, especially in competitive markets like of Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and other UAE regions, a business must have to have a deeper and accurate understanding of customer sentiments in order to align its strategic decisions with customer needs, desires and expectations. The traditional customer feedback management methods have lost their significance, although they could still be valuable to some extent but fall short on providing deeper understanding of customer sentiments. Businesses must have to understand what customer likes, what they don’t like, what their pain points are and what they are expecting. Therefore businesses need a comprehensive framework to manage customer feedback which can collect feedback data from various channels, consolidate it into a single database, and allow management to perform analysis and produce intuitive reports to actively include customer feedback in their decision making processes.

The evolution of customer feedback system from a simple printed feedback forms to a sophisticated digital and smart software-based platform indicates the importance and value of customer sentiments. In this blog we have briefly discussed why business need to understand customer sentiments and why a digital customer feedback system is the only tool to achieve that.

Why Customer Feedback Matters?

A customer feedback system will let you understand the impact of your current upgrades and changes that you have made to meet the new demands of the customers. Their feedback will help you further improving the process and evaluating your current setup. By gathering customer feedback you will be able to understand their perceptions and their thoughts, and of course their demands. This customer feedback not only allows you to take vital decision to improve customer experience and customer journey, but it will also help you to evaluate your existing service delivery mechanisms and customer journey. As there are a lot many feedback collection methods, so you also have to choose which method is suitable for you and can ensure good results. The year 2021 will be a completely new era in the service industry and in this blog we will elaborate on different methods to gather customer feedback in the year 2021.

Here are a few benefits of collecting customer feedback:

Chance to understand customer’s preferences, their likes/dislikes
Customers will feel that your care for them and their suggestions matters a lot for you
Build trust in your brand, improve your reputation and enhance your brand identity
Understand the new market trends, demands and people’s expectations

KPIs will help to improve the customer journey and evaluating the agent’s efficiency
Help to retain the existing customers and also maintaining a steady growth
Help in the decision making for future investments and innovating new ideas to improve customer satisfaction and service delivery mechanisms

These are just a few major benefits you can get by collecting customer feedback. In short collecting customer feedback will help you a lot in keeping up with the new trends of 2021 and gaining a competitive edge.

How to Collect Customer Feedback in the Year 2021?

Well 2021 will be a completely new landscape for the service-based industry, not only the behaviour of the customers/visitors will impact your growth but it could also directly impact your reputation and brand identity in the market. So, it is very important that you collect comprehensive feedbacks and conduct surveys, do follow-ups with the customers and request them to share their experiences and thoughts about their last visit to your branch.

Here are the most popular and most effective methods to collect customer feedback in the year 2021:

1. Customer Happiness Meters

Customer Happiness Meters are the most simplified form of collecting customer feedback. Usually, the feedback is taken in the form of a happiness scale which indicates how was the customer’s experience at the branch. The meter could range from 3 to 5 simple icons or emoticons or buttons. These inputs range from a visual representation of worst experience to great experience and in between usually followed up by a simple question such as “How was your experience today?” or “How well you were served today?” This type of feedback has the highest attempt rate.

To further improve the interaction you can also link your customer feedback system with your digital queue management system or CRM software to link the feedback to the customer who is providing the feedback and in case of negative feedback, your support staff could later contact them to learn more about their experience and to take more suggestions. Another simpler method is to request customers to input their contact details after submitting negative feedback, though this will reduce the feedback rate still it is a very effective method.

Usually, the customer happiness meter is installed in touch screens and tablets and placed on all counters, or at the entrance or exit points, where the customer can easily access it. Different businesses require different solutions.

2. Customer Feedback Surveys

Traditional surveys are always the best approach to get a deeper understanding of your customers experience and their expectations. But in today’s busy life who has time to conduct 30 minutes or 45 minutes long customer feedback survey? It requires a certain strategy to make people conduct such a long survey. However, these days single slide, or a few slide surveys are the most popular form. It also depends on which platform you are conducting the survey through. As usually on the website a popup with basic or no personal info and a one or two slide survey is the most efficient way to collect the feedback on a large scale from a very large audience.

Some surveys are targeted such as they are designed for a particular product or service and catered to a specific audience. Either through emails, SMS, social media, QR codes, etc. Such surveys have a lower rate but can provide very specific information. If you want to improve or evaluate a particular product or service you can use such surveys to collect feedback.

Of course, when it comes to the survey you might have tons of questions that you want to ask your customers, but you must have to make your survey short and precise. Here are a few tips you should consider while designing a customer feedback survey:

The first and very important point is to have a clear goal and objective of the survey
Ask only those questions which can help you with your goal
Avoid irrelevant and suggestive/leading questions
Use open-ended questions
Try to maintain a flow in the questions and arrange them with great care
Use very simple and easy-to-understand language
Avoid technical questions or complicated questions
Choose the answers wisely
Create interesting graphics for the slides
Create a closing slide or thanks message at the end of the survey

The customer feedback surveys can be transmitted on various communication channels, so sign-in or collecting the identification/personal information should be short and easy, also allow anonymous sign-ins for online surveys, this will ensure your audience that they can bluntly describe their emotions without any fear of being identified for the negative feedback.

3. Smartphone Applications

Smartphones are already surpassing the numbers of traditional computing. Especially in Dubai, UAE and all across the GCC, people often have high-end smartphones with internet connectivity. In UAE almost 90% of the population is using smartphones and have internet access. This lead to an entirely different trend, people tend to look up in the smartphone for everything from groceries to buying properties, everything is available on the internet just a few taps away in your mobile screen. People also tend to search for their common problems on the internet from let say their cat is not eating to headaches and illnesses symptoms, people are searching for everything through their smartphones.

This is the reason more than 90% of the businesses are also offering different services through their smartphone applications. As the year 2020 lead to a whole new online era, the market is also shifting its focus from more traditional to smart and online approaches. Smartphones applications are providing ease-of-access, comfort, convenience and they save a lot of time. You can offer small surveys on your mobile phone applications, let say if a customer is performing a certain task, at the end of that task you can ask them for their feedback, as the customer has recently used a specific feature so the chances are very high that they will also do the survey or feedback related to that.

4. Transactional Emails

This is also a great method to collect very precise and targeted customer feedback. The transactional emails are the emails that you send to your customers after doing any transaction or performing a certain task, such as I have visited my bank to update my contact details, after a day or two when the new information got registered they will also send me an email. Or for example, I have recently purchased a watch from Amazon and they sent me an email after the delivery. Did they ask me how where the product and my overall experience? Such emails are called transactional emails. They have a very good rate and people tend to do such surveys more often than any other email surveys. You can use such emails to ask them a few simple questions about their experience at the branch, bout the service agent’s behaviour, about the product or service itself or any such questions. But ask only relevant questions that will help you with your survey goal, do not make it complex or complicated, otherwise, people will not attempt it or even left it after a few slides.

5. Phone Calls

Although this is a bit traditional way to collect the feedback and it also involves multiple variables, but still the data we can collect is quite useful. You can utilize your existing call centre or support staff with a little bit of training to start calling customers and asking them for their opinions, try a little bit research, sort out all the customers as per their occupations, choose a suitable time accordingly to make the calls, avoid calls in the off hours, or weekends, or early morning. Ask your customers for their consent first before shooting out the questions, choose questions wisely, make them easy-to-understand, small, and subjective. Do not ask for personal information, just confirm the name and their visit schedule and ask them about their experience. It is always the best approach to call a customer on the very next day of their visit to your branch. If you will call them after some time, they might not respond well, or chances are you might fail to get their actual opinion, they might try to escape from the call and give you an only positive or neutral response.

6. Social Media Polls and Voting

Social Media platforms have completely transformed the marketing and communication landscape in Dubai, UAE. Everyone spends multiple hours on social media platforms in a single day. People get connected to their friends and relatives through social media platforms, they share their opinions, view news and consume all sort of information from these platforms. Usually, people feel more comfortable in giving their honest opinion and expressing their thoughts on social media platforms. If you utilize social media platforms you might be able to collect valuable customer feedback data from there.

But in social media there are certain things that you must understand before starting any campaign, the first and foremost important thing is that you should have to understand the particular social media platform which you are using let say, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn are the most popular social media platforms, all businesses have their presence there. People often do short polls and ask for other’s opinion through voting, or short questions with multiple options, single question surveys, etc. These are the most popular and most effective methods to collect customer feedback from these social media platforms in Dubai, UAE.

Conclusion

Before starting a customer feedback collection campaign you should determine the clear objectives and the goals of the data collection. Then choose the most appropriate method to collect your customers’ feedback. Prepare the questions and answers carefully, use open-ended questions, avoid suggestive or leading questions. Make it short and less time-consuming. Then gather all the feedbacks and sort them out accordingly, generate reports from the data you have collected either by a single channel or multiple channels. Then evaluate your current service delivery systems, mechanisms, queue management systems, customer flow and service delivery efficiency. In short, evaluate the entire customer journey and customer experience to determine how customer satisfaction can be further improved.

Take actions to improve every aspect which could impact customer satisfaction. The year 2020 was totally unprecedented, the marketing research agencies and academics are still analyzing the impact on the service industry.

10 Ways to Collect Customer Feedback

In this blog, we will talk about 10 ways to collect customer feedback. Customer feedback is a very important aspect of maintaining a better customer experience. Rather than indirect indicators and signs what could be better than asking your customers directly about their opinion on your products/services and overall brand. If you have the following questions:

What my customers want?
What we can offer to help them?
How should we improve the customer experience?
How should we sustain a long-lasting clientele?
What is repelling our customers?

Then you must seriously think about having a mechanism to ask those questions directly to your customers. I came across a lot of misleading information on this subject which is why I compelled to write this blog.

The human beings are a very sophisticated species. Customers often tend to sugar coat their criticism when asked directly or face to face. Sometimes people don’t want to be rude to the sales staff. Some customers get annoyed because either they are in hurry or either they simply don’t want to have a direct conversation at the moment. There could be so many reasons why people don’t give feedback or avoid one on one conversations about their experience at your branch. Which makes it even more difficult to extract precise information which a business can utilize to improve their customer experience.

By the evolution of the online and digital mediums, it is surprisingly simple to extract valuable information from your customers. People use to spend hours surfing online in a single day. This opens up a new frontier for the communication department. In order to measure the effectiveness and usefulness of your products and services, the single most valuable asset is customer feedback. And for that, the online domain could serve the purpose very well.

Here are the 10 ways to collect customer feedback:

1. Conduct Online Surveys

The online surveys are a very effective way to communicate with your customers. In order to make them more effective, the businesses should make them small, easy-to-do and if there could be some award for the customers who are conducting the survey, which will encourage people to do the surveys.

2. Tablets and Kiosks

Business can place small tablets and kiosks on strategic locations on the premises to gather customer feedback. The rule again is to make the process simple, short, and easy-to-do. Maybe just a few MCQs on the touchscreen of the kiosk or a Happiness Meter on the tablet could let the businesses gather basic information and let them conduct comprehensive surveys when needed.

3. Active Social Media Channels

Businesses should hire full-time social media managers to engage with audiences over various social media channels. Sharing helpful and engaging content on social media, engage with the customers and gather their opinion.

4. Online Poles

Online poles are a popular way to get instant feedback from the customers and large audiences. Set up your questions to be specific or to be indirect, whether it is a critical issue or a lighter question, people tends to do online poles more than anything else on social media.

5. Personalized Emails and Email Shots

Mass emailing is the most cost-effective online communication channel. But in case if you are interested in gathering the customer feedback then you should use only a few questions and encourage the customers to answer them. Personalized emails often get more response than mass email campaigns. Send an email on the same day when the customer visits you or make a purchase or utilize a service and ask them about their personal experience.

6. Website Reviews and Rating Mechanisms

Website reviews and rating mechanisms are also very helpful in collecting customer feedback. There should be a rating and review facility on each product/service web page. Especially in the case of digital products and services the online rating and review mechanisms is very convenient for the customers to express their feelings about their experience.

7. Online Sign-ups and Customer Portals

Online sign-ups and customer portals could be very effective in gathering customer feedback. As customers usually log in to their customer portal to search for the information about their subscriptions and purchases. So, having a mechanism to gather customer feedback in the customer portals can really help you gather valuable feedback from the customers.

8. Smart Phone Applications

As the information technology rapidly evolves from the on-desk to in-pocket. Smartphones and smartphone applications have become the major source of information for most of the customers and prospects. Integrating customer feedback modules within your smartphone application could let you gather a lot of data about the customers, their behaviour and their experience without even any additional cost.

9. Custom Feedback Short URL via SMS

Sending a custom feedback short URL via SMS is also a great approach to collect customer feedback through online mediums. As SMS are cheap and instant, so we can automate the SMS through the system and request the customers to follow the short URL to give feedback. The collection of feedback through short URL via SMS is a much better way than many other digital mediums.

10. Customer Feedback by QR Code

As smartphones are getting more sophisticated and technologically advanced, they are also opening up new opportunities for marketers. Such as in modern-day smartphones whether you are using Apple iPhone or Android Phones, all of these devices are capable of scanning QR codes, so we can use QR codes to let the customer access the feedback survey. This not only looks modern but it is also very simple and easy for the customers.

Conclusion

The customer feedback and their opinion about your brand, your products and services are very critical. The businesses should also consider the online domain for their communication purposes. The digital mediums look a bit tricky but in reality due to the advancements of the analytical tools, and social media platforms the online channels of communication have become more effective than the traditional communication mediums.

With the proper queue system, this space could be reorganized for other activities that can generate revenue. If a customer feedback system is integrated with queue management, there is no need for extra staff to be placed to manually collect customer feedback.

10. Reduce operational costs

The importance of the queuing system is quite apparent in the fact that it can result in significant cost savings.
