Do-It-Yourself: How Independent Market Research Boosts Customer Satisfaction

Crowdtech provides the opportunity to conduct market research independently using the user-friendly platform, Crowdtech Insights. With this advanced platform, you can explore a wide range of topics, including one of the most crucial key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring your organization's success: customer satisfaction. The effort invested in acquiring new customers or members is wasted if customer satisfaction is low. Therefore, monitoring customer satisfaction is essential for making adjustments in service, product offerings, pricing, and more. By conducting independent research on customer satisfaction, you can quickly gain insights into what customers or members value and how to better serve them. Understanding customer satisfaction and the underlying feedback is the driving force behind your success.

The Significance of Customer Satisfaction Research
Research on customer satisfaction is crucial as it helps organizations gain a better understanding of and meet the needs of their customers or members. By prioritizing the customer, organizations can develop products and services that align with their desires and requirements. Customer satisfaction research is a valuable tool for developing strategies focused on customer retention and organizational growth.

There are various methods for measuring different aspects of customer satisfaction. One example is the Customer Effort Score (CES), which assesses the effort customers or members need to exert when using a service or product. Another well-known method is the Net Promoter Score (NPS), which gauges the willingness of customers or members to recommend the organization to others.

Independent research provides organizations with the flexibility to apply different methods to measure customer satisfaction. This enables a comprehensive and timely understanding of customer satisfaction, allowing targeted actions to increase satisfaction.

The Benefits of Independent Market Research: Enhancing Customer Satisfaction
Conducting independent market research offers several advantages that contribute to higher customer satisfaction. It empowers you to determine what to research and how to conduct it, providing greater control over the research process. As a result, you can obtain results more quickly since you are not dependent on the scheduling and availability of an external market research agency. Modern researchers value speed and prefer to be in control.

Furthermore, independent market research ensures continuity in gaining insights into consumer needs and desires. By conducting regular research, your organization continually acquires insights into the needs and desires of your customers or members, enabling strategic responsiveness.

Another advantage of independent market research is that it enables organizations to directly engage with customers and members, fostering increased involvement and interaction between the organization and its target audience. For example, consider a Research Community where you can pose questions to your target audience at any time.

Therefore, independent market research offers numerous benefits, including:

• Achieving faster results
• Increased control over the research process
• Continuity in gaining insights
• Direct access to your target audience

Crowdtech successfully conducted a pilot with Conversational Survey

Currently, Crowdtech is developing an innovation that enables conducting online surveys in a chat format. To test the effectiveness and usability of this innovation, our sister company, MWM2, was tasked with conducting a field test. The results of this test have been promising and provide valuable insights for further development. What is Conversational Survey?Conversational Survey allows you to conduct your questionnaire entirely in the form of a chat conversation. This is made possible by utilizing a Machine Learning algorithm. The algorithm can recognize which pre-programmed answer corresponds to the text typed by the respondent. In case of uncertainty, the system prompts the respondent to confirm their answer. As more respondents participate, the algorithm becomes more intelligent. Key Highlights of the Field TestMWM2 conducted an AB test with 630 respondents. Half of them filled out a traditional online survey, while the other half answered the same questions through the chatbot. Both groups were placed under the same conditions to ensure the comparability of the results. Crowdtech aimed to gather insights on various metrics, including the appreciation of the method, response length for open-ended questions, survey duration, and dropout rate. Key FindingsSeveral findings were identified, with the most important ones being as follows:1. There were no differences in response patterns between the traditional survey and the chatbot. This suggests that the data collection method does not impact the nature of the received information, although further research is needed to confirm this finding.2. In terms of appreciation, the chatbot scored 8.1, while the traditional online survey scored 8.2 - indicating no significant difference. Interestingly, younger respondents (aged 18-34) rated the chatbot higher with a score of 8.3.   ConclusionThe results of this field test are promising and indicate a bright future for the implementation of conversational AI in market research. While further refinement and testing are required, it is clear that Crowdtech's chatbot holds great potential as a powerful tool for gathering valuable data and enhancing the survey experience for respondents.

It is important to make market research as enjoyable and accessible as possible to achieve a higher response rate and quality of answers. Fortunately, there are many ways to achieve this. In this article, we will share five tips that you can use in your own research. 1. Make the questionnaire interactiveInteractive questions are an excellent way to keep respondents engaged. As the attention span of young people is getting shorter, it’s crucial to make the questionnaire as interesting as possible. Interactive questions can take the form of quizzes or games, making the questionnaire more enjoyable which results in higher quality answers. 2. Use images and videosImages and videos make the questionnaire visually appealing. The younger generation tends to be more visually oriented, so the use of images helps to maintain their attention. Adding sound can also make the questionnaire more interesting and improve the quality of the answers. 3. Keep the questionnaire shortIt’s essential to keep the questionnaire as concise as possible.

This way, respondents know what happens with the results, and the market research becomes more meaningful. Feedback also contributes to improving the quality of future research. 5. Use relevant dataUsing relevant data to invite respondents for market research is crucial. This way, invitations can be made more personal and relevant, which contributes to an increase in the response rate. Communicating with the target group can also ensure that the questionnaire is more tailored to their needs and interests.Market research doesn’t have to be boring.
