An important step before embarking on customer satisfaction and loyalty tracking is the use of exploratory qualitative research.
This builds a better understanding of the issues and aspects of your product or service that are really important (and unimportant!) to your customers.
This ‘discovery’ phase provides insights right from the start to ensure that the quantitative research design developed is exactly right for you and your customers.
Qualitative research is also valuable during the customer satisfaction and loyalty research stage, in allowing you to explore any major issues identified by the quantitative study in greater depth. It offers an unsurpassed way to bring the customer to life and take their ‘voice’ straight to key stakeholders by the use of vox pops and a range of other audio visual media.
