## What is a customer feedback survey?

A **customer feedback survey** is a short questionnaire that collects opinions about a product, service, or experience. Use it to validate ideas, prioritize the roadmap, and reduce churn.

Common variants include **CSAT** (satisfaction), **NPS** (loyalty), **CES** (effort), post-purchase, post-support, in-app feature feedback, and lifecycle check-ins.

### When to use which:

- **CSAT:** "How satisfied are you with [experience]?" → transactional quality
- **NPS:** "How likely are you to recommend us?" → brand loyalty trend
- **CES:** "How easy was it to [task]?" → friction in key journeys

For wording and scale options, see survey questions (https://spaceforms.io/articles/survey-questions).

## Placement & timing (make or break)

- **Immediate triggers:** confirmation page, post-delivery email, "ticket solved" notification
- **In-app prompts:** after feature completion, not on login
- **Email send-time:** within 5–30 minutes of the event to minimize recall bias
- **Don't over-ask:** cap to 1–2 touchpoints per journey stage

## Channels: in-app, email, and QR

- **In-app:** one question per page, large tap targets, optional comment box
- **Email:** embed the scale in the email body, link to full form for comments
- **QR codes:** packaging, receipts, events, printed signage

**Pro move:** Use Spaceforms to auto-route detractors to Slack/Email for rapid follow-up.

## Response rate boosters

- Keep it under 4 questions for transactional feedback
- Plain language, no jargon; personalize ("About order #1234…")
- Optional open text (never required)
- Close the loop: publish "You said, we did" changes monthly

## Scales, length, and bias control

- Pick one primary scale (typically 1–5 or 0–10) and stick to it
- Avoid leading wording ("How great was…?")
- Randomize option order where sensible
- For longer research studies, see market research survey (https://spaceforms.io/articles/market-research-survey)

## Analyzing results (and acting on them)

### Core metrics

- **CSAT** = % of "Satisfied/Very satisfied" responses (4–5 on 5-point scale)
- **Theme frequency:** cluster open-ends (Shipping, Billing, Performance, UX)
- **Segment cuts:** device, region, plan tier, campaign, feature area

### Operationalize it

- Assign owners to top themes
- Create fix tickets with SLAs and track pre/post impact on scores
- Review weekly (ops) and monthly (exec) to keep momentum

## Email invitation examples

### Ultra-short (transactional)

**Subject:** Quick rating on your experience today?

**Body:**

> "Hi [Name],
> Got 5 seconds? Please rate your experience today.
> [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
> Optional: Tell us what to improve.
> Thanks!"

### Support follow-up

**Subject:** How did we do?

**Body:**

> "Hi [Name],
> About ticket #[ID]: How satisfied are you with the resolution?
> [Very dissatisfied – Very satisfied]
> Anything we could have done better?"
