The body shop satisfaction program tripled its response rates over the course of a year. The pre- and post-transactional surveys saw a general increase in the overall response rate. The employee engagement program was not alone either. The employee program saw a 50% increase in the overall response rate across all feedback channels. The increase in responses for each of the three programs was more than past surveys which used mail surveys as the primary channel for data collection.
QR Codes Draw the Customer’s Attention
