Feedback Matters
Welcome to Feedback Matters by GuestInsight What’s this podcast all about? All things related to guest & customer experience feedback. Join us for discussions about feedback surveying in general- both from a historical perspective, as well as how it fits into today’s online review fueled purchase economy. We explore survey design best practices, as well as look at the always increasing number of ways to analyze the data that well designed surveys provide. And, we get into some more broad consumer behavior topics like customer and guest experience and loyalty, and, of course online reviews and their influence in consumer purchase decisions.

SYWMF Episode 9: Boutique Hotel Survey - Part 2: Why?
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
In this episode, we get into a discussion of different motivations for sending guest experience surveys. It's a follow-up episode to episode 8 ( https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-ixx38-171cffa ), in which we were less than impressed by the guest survey sent by a great boutique hotel. That episode may be found here: https://youtu.be/pm3HD8gTFuU Our "So You Want My Feedback?" series reviews the feedback requests from hotels, restaurants, retailers, and other businesses through the eyes of a guest or customer. We believe that if you are involved in a business that asks for feedback from guests or customers, you should regularly give feedback to businesses that you undoubtedly get feedback requests from during the course of your day-to-day routine (both personal & business). Why? You'll discover elements of feedback loops that resonate with you, those that don't, and how you might think of your own feedback "asks" as more of an evolving process, rather than a "set it and forget it" practice. After all, that survey request you send out is often the last point of contact in the guest experience transaction. #cx #survey #bestpractices #guestinsight #hospitality #hotelmanagement #hotelier #review #guestexperience

In this episode, we review the feedback "ask" from an independent boutique hotel. As the subtitle suggests, we found this survey to be disappointing. For a great property, their guest survey doesn't cover anything substantive or actionable.

Tuesday Aug 20, 2024
