Moreover, it is also considered as an important part of the entire customer journey. So, how do you know if your customers are satisfied or dissatisfied with your products or services? What if you are planning to update your product but have no idea if the new update will be accepted or rejected by the customer? Are you interested to know what your customer’s expectations are?

To evaluate the quality of service  

Customer satisfaction is one of the key objectives of businesses and quality of service plays a major role in it.

In addition to that, it is service quality that results in enhanced financial performance, reduction in customer complaints, improved willingness to recommend services to someone else, and improved customer satisfaction.  

An email survey post service provision helps you get a quick evaluation of your service quality. An email survey gives your customers’ time and space to provide a more detailed and holistic response.

To analyze if the customer is happy with product use

For any business, customer feedback is the epicenter of its efforts to develop and update the product. A good product manufacturer will always think from the customers perspective to develop the product ensuring it satisfies their needs. To understand customers opinions and suggestions there is no better option than conducting a product satisfaction survey. 

A holistic approach to understand product satisfaction is helpful for organizations to gauge the popularity of their product and also helps them in measuring how customers use their product and how satisfied they are. The insights gained by the survey responses is quality data that can be used to make informed decisions on enhancing user experience.

As customers have a tendency to appreciate the product and not the brand, the sample is designed by focusing more on the product rather than the brand. This example of sample survey has a different approach to measure product satisfaction apart from measuring NPS, CSAT, and CES.

There is a continued race amongst universities vowing for dominance in rankings has aggravated these days. Therefore, universities are trying hard to create a brand identity.

Students are representatives of the universities becoming brand ambassadors in the future; therefore, their satisfaction should be the number one goal.
