			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Sam-Decker.png"><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Sam-Decker.png" alt="" title="Sam Decker" width="200" height="250" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7155" /></a></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">With over 18 years of phenomenal marketing success, Sam Decker, founding CMO of <a href="http://www.bazaarvoice.com/" target="_blank">Bazaarvoice</a> and current CEO and founder of <a href="http://www.massrelevance.com/" target="_blank">Mass Relevance</a>, has much to offer both B2B and B2C marketers for SaaS start-ups.<br />
<br /> Sam recently shared his unique marketing insight with a large group of SaaS companies as part of a <a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/saas-knowledge-base/lecture-viii-8-principles-of-go-to-market-success-for-saas-companies/">SaaS lecture series hosted by Kampyle</a> and IGTCloud here in Israel.<br />
<br /> As he discussed his 8 principles for SaaS go-to-market success, Sam emphasized that marketing must be focused on people, because ultimately, it&#8217;s a person who is doing the buying. So even when the target is a more buttoned-up B2B audience, the goal should to influence the rational side of business decision-making with human emotions. Sam successfully incorporated this approach by making his marketing activities fun, memorable and not the least bit boring.<br />
<br /> Let&#8217;s take a brief look at the principles Sam used and continues to use to drive his marketing success.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #1 &#8211; Launch with Suspense</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">This method might not work for some companies, but if you are well known in your industry and have many connections, using suspense is a great way to build interest from the media and potential clients. As an example of this, Bazaarvoice announced that they received funding but didn&#8217;t provide details of what they were doing. They played this out for a while, and by the time they officially launched, they had plenty of news coverage and  open doors for sales.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>Filling the Press Pipeline</strong><br />
While on the topic of capturing the media&#8217;s attention, Sam provided a list of marketing collateral you should use to capture the interest of journalists and bloggers:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Original research &#8211; perhaps based on customer data or similar.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Case studies are great, with clients championing your story to the press.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Big name client announcements.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">New product or features (ideal if related to hot topic).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Partnerships with brands bigger than yourself. You can also leverage the new partner&#8217;s media contacts.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Speaking engagements and awards.</span></li>
</ul>
<p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #2 &#8211; Creating a WOM (Word-of-Mouth) Ecosystem</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Measuring the results of your marketing efforts is very important, but WOM or word-of-mouth, while not as measurable, is also an essential part of your marketing mix. You need to create compelling content &#8211; funny videos, interesting studies &#8211; so people will naturally want to share it.<br />
<br /> Once you have the content available, make sure to distribute it across all relevant channels and mediums.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #3 &#8211; Create Facetime</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">B2B marketing is more about getting sales people in front of potential clients and less about SEM lead generation and conversions. Again, this might be harder for measuring and predictability, but as companies mature, they can focus on metrics as well.<br />
<br /> Another point Decker made is that start-ups should try and get speaking engagements for themselves or their clients at B2B conferences instead of pouring tons of money into super-expensive booths. This is especially true if the market has never heard about you or your product.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #4 &#8211; Leverage Reputation</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Leveraging personal brands is not about ego, it&#8217;s just about using the tools you have to open doors and drive sales. Additionally, continue to build relationships via speaking engagements and also by being on boards of other companies. Try and hire people  with connections that can help build trust and generate more &#8220;facetime&#8221; for sales.<br />
And it&#8217;s not just about the executives. Get everyone in the company to tweet and build social media relationships. Synchronizing tweets and other social sharing about relevant news can really help create buzz.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #5 &#8211; Executives Sell</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Executives need to sell. Sam sold 30% of the deals at Bazaarvoice, and as CMO and thought-leader, he was able to open doors that the VP Sales could not.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #6 &#8211; Market the Future</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">This method is not necessarily for your blog or media, but you can start quietly marketing and selling products even before they are live. By evangelizing to your clients during beta, you stay ahead of the game. Then when you do announce the product, you already have clients that are using it.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #7 &#8211; Case Studies Rule</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">As mentioned earlier, the media loves case studies. Happy customers stepping up and championing a product or service is the best story that anyone can come up with. Additionally, when Sam asked his sales reps which marketing content was most helpful to them, case studies rose to the top.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Principle #8 &#8211; Keep it Human</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">As Sam mentioned throughout his presentation, you are marketing to people. And people tend to buy more from other people that they like. By creating awesome events, interesting content, and recognizing that no one wants to be bored by&#8230;.boring stuff, you are building that &#8220;likable&#8221; factor that strongly influences the ultimate decision to buy.<br />
</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Life-Technologies.jpg"><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Life-Technologies-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="Life Technologies" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7018" /></a></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">When <a href="http://www.lifetechnologies.com/global/en/home.html" target="_blank">Life Technologies</a>, a global biotech company with over 50,000 products and $3.7 billion in sales, began planning a website redesign, they knew that customer feedback would be key to their success.<br />
<br /> With frequently complex ordering processes and products split up on two different branded websites (Invitrogen.com and AppliedBiosystems.com), Life Technologies recognized that the first step in enhancing user experience was in gaining authentic and actionable insight from their customers about their pain-points, needs and expectations.<br />
To achieve their objective, Life Technologies employed<a href="http://www.kampyle.com/website-feedback-for-marketing"> Kampyle&#8217;s online feedback platform</a> to engage customers and offer them the opportunity to share their issues on any relevant page or process.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Letting Customers Know That Their Feedback Makes a Difference</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Not only does Life Technologies actually listen to their customers and act on their feedback, they make sure that their customers know about it. Every time customers leave feedback, they receive a message <a href="http://www.lifetechnologies.com/global/en/home/technical-resources/your-feedback.html" target="_blank">redirecting them to a page highlighting the changes</a> that have been made based on previous feedback.<br />
<br /> Summarizing the motivation behind the page, Carlos Herrera, Customer Loyalty Leader at Life Technologies said that it&#8217;s &#8220;not about surveys or feedback forms&#8221;. Rather he explained, &#8220;this is about personally connecting with our customers.  Kampyle has helped us to do just that&#8221;.<br />
<br /> <a href="http://www.lifetechnologies.com/global/en/home/technical-resources/your-feedback.html"target="_blank"><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Life-Technologies-Feedback.jpg" alt="" title="Life Technologies &amp; Feedback" width="425" height="183" class="aligncentersize-full wp-image-7087" /></a><br />
<br /> By communicating their appreciation for feedback, Life Technologies has made an invaluable move in building loyalty and increasing the likelihood that customers will continue to share their concerns and issues in the future as well.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Informed Optimizations for Enhanced BioTech Shopping</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">By collecting detailed customer feedback Life Technologies was able to easily identify usability flaws in areas such as navigation and shopping features, and come up with a clear vision of what their new site needed to offer.<br />
<br /> Examples of the improvements they were able to make based on customer feedback, include:<br />
</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Significant reductions in complaints about “vanishing primer orders” – accomplished by creating clearer instructions and modifying order processing settings.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Easier usage of promotional codes – accomplished by creating a new promotions page and simplifying the way promotion codes are entered during the check-out process.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Streamlined the way customers can contact relevant departments – accomplished by updating phone menus and eliminating excess contact information (e.g. lengthy lists of phone numbers).</span></li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_99806201.jpg"><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_99806201-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="Big Data" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6958" /></a></a></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Big data has been receiving increased attention in the business community as a very important trend and growth area. This was most recently underscored by big data company, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303513404577353891795293210.html" target="_blank">Splunk, enjoying a highly publicized and successful IPO</a> last week.<br />
<br /> The articles recommended below, illustrate, in a practical, down-to-earth way, the enormous business value that big data brings to the table.</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Improving the Customer Experience with Big Data</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Bob E. Hayes of TCELab, in his recent article, <a href="http://businessoverbroadway.com/big-data-has-big-implications-for-customer-experience-management" target="_blank">Big Data has Big Implications for Customer Experience Management</a>, provides a detailed overview of big data and how businesses can harness its value for enhancing the customer experience and ultimately the corporate bottom line. While Bob covers many important issues in the article, he makes it clear that <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/enterprise-solutions/features/data-segmentation-analysis-reporting">customer feedback</a>, especially when integrated with big data, is an essential component in creating an ideal user experience.<br />
<br />As an example, by integrating financial data and customer feedback data, companies can shed light on how the customer experience impacts objective metrics like renewals, the type and quantity of purchased products, social sharing, and more.<br />
<br />The article nicely articulates this, stating that “these objective loyalty metrics provide no insight about how to improve them. Linking satisfaction with the customer experience to these objective loyalty measures, however, lets you build predictive models to help you understand the reasons behind your financial metrics. This is powerful stuff”.<br />
<br /> We could not agree more.</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Gift Shopping Made Easy</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Walmart’s new app, Shopycat  is a great example of how big data from social media is being used for improving and customizing the online shopping experience and to drive more sales. Tom Groenfeldt, in a <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomgroenfeldt/2012/03/07/walmartlabs-can-figure-out-gifts-your-facebook-friends-want/" target="_blank">recent Forbes article about WalmartLabs</a>, writes that Shopycat can “review your Facebook friends and look at their hobbies, interests and activities and create a list of gift suggestion. You can search for recommendations by name or by interest, review the suggestion and click to buy a gift”.<br />
<br /> He also notes how retailers are no longer “limited to monitoring the actions of shoppers on its site or in its stores. Walmart can watch social media for trends” so that retailers can make sure to stock up on the merchandise their target market is looking for right now.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">How Target, the Retail Giant, “Knows Before it Shows”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Collecting and mining customer data is not without critics. There is always the concern that companies have too much personal information about individuals. Kashmir Hill, a writer for Forbes, nicely summarizes these issues in her article <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/" target="_blank">How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did</a>, which describes  how Target used customer purchasing data to not only predict which customers might be pregnant, but also what stage of pregnancy they were in. The article continues, showing how Target successfully leveraged that information for, no pun intended, targeted marketing by sending brochures with baby-care products and other pregnancy related items to ladies that matched the “pregnant” data profile.<br />
<br /> For a more detailed and lengthier article on Target’s practices and the important lessons they learned, see the <a href=" http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.html?_r=2&#038;pagewanted=1&#038;hp" target="_blank">New York Times piece</a> by Charles Duhigg.<br />
<br /> If you have any other great articles or stories that highlight the power of big data, we’d all love to hear about it in the comments section!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Mobile-Net-Promoter.jpg"><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Mobile-Net-Promoter-300x249.jpg" alt="" title="Mobile Net Promoter" width="300" height="249" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6860" /></a></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">With smart phone use, SMS and the mobile app market growing rapidly, the opportunities to engage your customers, uncover their pain-points and enhance their experiences – mobile or otherwise – are enormous. While every business needs to evaluate what method would work best for asking customers for <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/enterprise-solutions/features/net-promoter-score">satisfaction-related feedback</a>, most organizations can capitalize on the mobile revolution for measuring NPS.  Here are just a few ideas of how to harness mobile technologies for collecting and measuring NPS.</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Mobile Feedback Forms</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">As mobile browsing and m-commerce are rapidly becoming standard fare in the overall customer experience, companies  offering mobile sites and apps should be collecting and measuring NPS on the <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/enterprise-solutions/features/mobile-feedback">mobile experience</a> itself.<br />
<br /> Feedback forms inserted unobtrusively in the mobile app or site offer customers the option to rate their experience on the NPS 0-10 scale as well as leave more detailed feedback about the rating they gave. Usability and other issues can be reported on while customers are still actively engaged with the mobile site or app, keeping the feedback fresh and accurate. </p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">SMS</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">With SMS use skyrocketing (how many text messages did you send/receive today?), there is no doubt that this is a very important medium for communicating with customers. Recently, on the LinkedIn NPS Forum one European group member shared how telecoms and insurance companies send SMS messages asking customers to rate their recent experience with call centers. The customer simply responds via SMS with a NPS score and an optional comment. </p>

<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">QR Codes – Linking the Offline and Online Experience</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Companies with multi-channel offerings, should consider collecting NPS for both their offline and online assets. One challenge with this however, is that offline and online NPS is usually collected separately. This makes benchmarking and other comparative analysis very difficult.<br />
<br /> One option that can be employed is to import all the offline NPS data into a centralized system, together with online and mobile NPS data. A combined score from all sources can be generated, along with a segmented view where management can compare and contrast between the offline, online and mobile scores.<br />
<br /> Another option that would eliminate the extra step of importing,  would be <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/enterprise-solutions/features/mobile-feedback#qrLink-midpage">using a QR code to generate a mobile feedback form</a>. That way, a customer in a brick-and-mortar setting could rate their experience with the score going directly into the above-mentioned centralized system. This method might work well for businesses like car rentals where the customer is exposed for extended periods of time (i.e. in the car or at the rental agency) to brochures or posters that offer the possibility to share feedback via a QR code.<br />

Telling you that our CEO Ariel Finkelstein has done it again and that there is a great new article of his about leveraging customer feedback sounds like blunt self-promotion, doesn’t it? We admit: it certainly does.</p>
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.50em; font-weight: normal;">Still, if you are new to the hands-on usage of customer feedback and want to get a quick overview, <b>this is just the article for you</b>!</p>
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Ariel’s article holds some excellent takeaways for the following areas:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Online Feedback – Making it Easy to Enhance the Customer Experience and Increase ROI</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Reliable and Real-Time Insight Leads to Informed and Profitable Action</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Gaining Competitive Knowledge that Drives Increased Conversions and Revenue</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Feedback-Driven Inbound Marketing and Lead Generation</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Cost-Effective and Personalized Customer Support</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">
You can read Ariel’s article in the April issue of “Internet Marketing Magazine”, the Australian magazine designed specifically for Internet Marketers. The publication aims “to deliver you up to date relevant timely information on all facets of marketing on the internet from niche markets through to traffic, conversion optimization, marketing funnels, online stores, social media, eBay and just about anything else you can think of.”

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_25593574.jpg"><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_25593574-255x300.jpg" alt="" title="Website Redesign and Customer Feedback" width="255" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6806" /></a></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">We all know redesigning a website is a bigger challenge than building from scratch. It is not only about giving your website a fresh look; you will have to decide what functionalities and content to keep, what should go and what should be added.<br />
<br /> While your old website was up, your audience became accustomed to your site’s flow and functionality – will the new version be intuitive or just confuse old and new visitors alike?<br />
<br /> Of course you are aiming at improvements through the redesign, but how certain can you be that you are doing the right thing?  Will you succeed in fulfilling your visitors’ expectations and needs? Will your new site achieve the ultimate goal of driving increased conversions and higher ROI? And if it doesn’t perform well, will you know why?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">When to Begin Using Feedback in Website Redesign</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">We often encounter businesses that when faced with these questions want to ensure their redesign will generate positive results. To that end, they look to our online feedback platform as a way to test their redesign’s success &#8211; which they maintain can only be done once the new site has been launched.<br />
</span</p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Of course, we explain that feedback actually plays a very significant role even before getting started with the redesign. Usability experts and design teams can gain tremendous insight from feedback. With a more comprehensive understanding of online visitors’ preferences and pain-points, they will be better equipped to create a winning design that is perfectly optimized for your target audience.<br />
<br /> Let’s take a quick look at the various ways feedback is intertwined with website design:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Decluttering</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">One of our clients, <a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/2012/01/05/actionable-feedback-saves-swisscom-million/" target="_blank">Swisscom</a>, discovered that the wealth of information they were providing, was actually overkill. Customers were getting lost in the sea of words and links. With clear feedback in hand Swisscom took an axe to excess wordage, and found out that “less is more”. Customers were now able to quickly find and understand the content or instructions they needed. This directly impacted Swisscom’s goal of creating more cost-effective online self-serve support and sales.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Navigation and Search</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Companies sometimes fall into the trap of taking a cookie-cutter approach when it comes to navigation and search. But even within one industry, take retail for example; different products could require very different approaches. Here are some actual feedback items our clients have collected, that nicely illustrate this point:<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><em>“I’m looking for a lens hood compatible with an XYZ 18-200 mm lens. Apparently it is not possible to search according to compatibility. Do I have to look at each lens hood individually to find one that&#8217;s compatible?”</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.10em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>Online Customer on Camera and Electronics Site</strong><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><em>“Why can’t I search by designer? I don’t want to search thru items from brands I don’t buy!”</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.10em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>Online Customer on High-End Clothing Site</strong><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Filling in the Analytics Gap</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">User feedback can also completely reframe available web analytics data – with a resultant “about face” in website redesign. For example, based on web analytics, our client Hotels Combined removed a feature from their search refinement options. As this search functionality was not being used frequently, it was deemed redundant. However, after removing it, Hotels Combined received strong feedback from a small but high-value group of users requesting the feature’s return. Without this insight they would have alienated this niche, power group along with their wallets.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Conversion Killers </span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Our friends at Conversion Rate Experts have a <a href="http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/conversion-killing-mistakes/" target="_blank">great article where they discuss “nuke buttons”</a>, buttons, links or features that are actually “traps that reduce the likelihood of conversion”. Although we are sure that usability experts are aware of the classic issues the article mentions, it is inevitable that conversion-killing bugs and human error will creep into the best designed site.  The easy antidote to this is crowd-sourcing QA with online feedback. All those extra eyeballs will pick up on the usability problems that might have been missed.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Using Feedback Post-Launch</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Getting insight from your online visitors after launching your newly designed website is crucial. As mentioned above, customers and visitors – the actual “users” of your site – will almost always catch navigational issues, content errors, bugs and other usability problems that were missed by your QA team.<br />
<br /> But more importantly, your users will tell you if you got it right. Let’s recall the steps you went through in your redesign: You were aware of the issues your users had on your old site, and your team came up with solutions to these issues. But does the new site really answer the problems of your visitors? Well, by using online feedback your visitors will be able to tell you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.40em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">The Virtues of Ongoing Customer Feedback</span><br />
<span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">With the fast-paced change that is commonplace in today’s business world, websites will always be undergoing some small measure of redesign. The users’ needs and interests are always fluid, and what once worked for them in the past, might not be sufficient to service them in the present.  Providing ongoing opportunities for your online visitors to give you a piece of their mind, is critical in staying ahead of the competitive curve.<br />
<br /> Additionally, businesses that turned to us for a post-redesign, “tweaking tool” quickly discovered that customer feedback was not only an integral part of pre and post website redesign, but also an important driver of <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/website-feedback-for-sales">lead generation</a>, <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/website-feedback-for-marketing">targeted marketing</a> and <a href="http://www.kampyle.com/website-feedback-for-support">cost-effective online support</a>.<br />

<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Wouldn’t it be great to have your office running smoothly, without chasing after IT admins, cleaning and maintenance staff, or office managers? In all companies,  time and money is wasted on reporting  everyday mishaps such as missing paper in the printer, spoiled milk in the fridge, or overflowing waste baskets.<br /><b>Peanuts you say? According to new research these disturbances are responsible for a 7% loss of working hours. So you better reconsider.</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5>How Efficient Is Your Company?</h5>
<p><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_4167478-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="weakest-link" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6757" />
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Two months ago Kampyle was addressed by a long term client, who already had used Kampyle’s <a href="http://blog.kampyle.com/2012/02/09/qr-codes-conferences-and-events/">Feedback for Events</a>, asking if there is way to implement feedback within a company to reduce this kind of time loss. Flexible as always, Kampyle got creative and is proud to announce its newly launched service – <b>Enterprise Efficiency Feedback</b>, helping companies to discover the pain points of their employees. <a href="mailto:?subject=Gotcha! April 1st&#038;body=We hope we made your April 1st a bit funnier. Feedback is important, and actually some of the features of the Kampyle Enterprise Efficency Feedback sound rather realistic, right! Let’s be in touch so you can discover how feedback can really enhance both your customer and employee experiences! Cheers, the Kampyle Team">Learn more&#8230;</a></p>
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Kampyle’s new service so far has been rolled out by two companies, and as their names are withheld, let’s call them Company A and Company B. Both of them have approximately 300 employees, and in both of these companies, departments and responsibilities are well established, but information and feedback flow is lacking an explicit internal structure.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5>QR codes everywhere</h5>
<p><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_65253181.jpg" alt="" title="QR-Code-Cow" width="250" height="185" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6736" />
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">To make EEF work, IT administrators had to ensure that each employee had a QR reader installed on their mobile phone. QR codes were installed simply everywhere: on the furniture, printers, screens, PCs, waste baskets, etc. In addition each room has a QR code next to the light switches.  A customized feedback form allows you to report any problem there might be from dirty window panes, broken lights to poor air conditioning. <a href="mailto:?subject=Gotcha!

Let’s be in touch so you can discover how feedback can really enhance both your customer and employee experiences! Cheers, the Kampyle Team">Learn more&#8230;</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5>Time and money is better spent than ever!</h5>
<p><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_62774551-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="savings" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6740" />
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">After only 3 weeks of using Kampyle’s EEF, the efficiency of Company A has risen enormously. Its CEO shared with us the following: &#8220;Our company is split over 5 floors, communication is sometimes hard. So Kampyle’s EEF looked very promising to us. Certainly we were worried that our employees would not use it. But just on the contrary – they love it. We cannot really say what it is, but complaints and problems submitted via the feedback systems are solved much faster than they were before. We assume that the fact these issues are recorded on our feedback systems, encourages the responsible person to react faster that they would have done in case they were only updated about it verbally.  EEF makes it easy for the responsible person to decide which of the things have to be fixed first. Time and money is better spent than ever!&#8221; </p>

<h5>Can’t see the forest for the trees</h5>
<p><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_72543997-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="relaxed-in-office-chair" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6743" />
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Each company has issues that tend to go undiscovered. If fixed they can enormously add to the efficiency of the company. &#8220;For example we received much feedback related to the office chairs. Every seventh employee had issues with them.  We made this a priority – had chairs repaired where possible and also exchanged where needed. Our people are working hard, spending hour after hour sitting at their desks. You can imagine that they were happy to see how responsive we are to their feedback.&#8221; , explains Company A’s CEO.<br /><a href="mailto:?subject=Gotcha!

<h5>EEF – it is not all about the negative</h5>
<p><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_83688523-199x300.jpg" alt="" title="ideas" width="199" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6751" />
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Of course the feedback system can also be used to record positive and encouraging comments. Actually first analyses show that approximately 25% of the employee feedback is positive. Employees are sensitive to well-done changes or tasks, and take the time to express their appreciation. </p>
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Of special interest to the companies is also the input they receive related to suggestions and ideas. &#8220;It is amazing how many good ideas are produced by our employees, of which we were not aware of before. The reason is simple: Many employees have ideas but sometimes lack knowledge whom to address in the company. With the EEF solution at hand, it is not the concern of the employee whom to address, it is only about expressing the idea as such. And – as enforced by the intuitive feedback forms – the idea is captured on the highest level. No need for time consuming detailed descriptions. Based on feedback, coming from employees not related to product management, we added many new products to our shop – which are now selling like crazy with our online customers!&#8221;, elaborates CEO of Company B.<br /><a href="mailto:?subject=Gotcha!

<h5>&#8220;ManFeed&#8221; &#8211; for submitting anonymous feedback on managers</h5>
<p><img src="http://blog.kampyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/shutterstock_34473529-217x300.jpg" alt="" title="Your last moment" width="217" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6753" />
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">Company B wanted to enable their employees to give feedback on the management. Clearly this is a very sensitive process. Having privacy and &#8211; if requested – anonymity granted was an absolute precondition to have this service accepted by the employees. <b>Kampyle established &#8220;ManFeed&#8221;, a light-weight mobile app</b>, which allows the employee to give feedback anonymously. In this case all tracking information of the feedback submitter is deleted, before entering the feedback system. </p>
<p style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">&#8220;I had to put all my authority into this. Each employee has my personal word that this system will not be abused in any way. It is mainly about mediation, and of course this feedback is only accessible to the top management. The experience so far is very positive. Our employees are using the system responsibly. We also understand now what is the main concern of our employees:  it is the work load on them, which in their eyes is not distributed fairly. We are using the system to mediate and restructure work flows where needed.&#8221; <br /><a href="mailto:?subject=Gotcha! April 1st&#038;body=We hope we made your April 1st a bit funnier.

With free, quality content readily available online and a plethora of popular blogs and niche news sites, newspapers are challenged with issues like subscription fees and competing for advertising budgets.<br />
<br /> With online and mobile consumption of news content rapidly rising, the industry also needs to constantly evaluate the user interface and experience. Issues such as “lean forward vs. lean back” and other UX topics need to be carefully researched and analyzed before implementing any major changes.<br />
<br /> In light of this, customer feedback is essential for media companies looking to retain and grow their audiences. Knowing their visitors&#8217; expectations and needs, gives them a competitive edge when delivering the freshest content and most cutting-edge experience.<br />

As an international agency, Conversion Rate Experts specializes in getting strong, measurable conversion improvements for businesses that are already successful.<br />
<br /> Clientele includes companies such as Apple, Sony, Google, Vodafone, SEOmoz, and SEOBook, among many others. In the following paragraphs are some of the questions we posed to them along with their informative and expert answers. Happy reading!</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: We frequently see “quick tips” and “Top 10 Lists” all over the Internet on improving websites and optimizing conversion. What is your take on these promises of easy paths to high conversion rates?</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>A:</strong> They’re worse than useless—they can be downright destructive. Consider the business owners who stumble upon the “magic submit button” design or headline formula that’s touted to be a sure thing. They try the idea and it falls short of their expectations.<br />
<br /> Often they become negative about the whole idea of testing and measurement, because they rightly state that “I tested all sorts of things and nothing ever worked.” It’s a valid statement that their tests did not work, but an invalid conclusion that therefore testing and measurement are useless.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: So are you saying the tips and lists are invalid for everyone?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>A:</strong> No, we’re not saying that. It’s just that such tips are superficial prescriptions for situations where no one has spent the time to diagnose the actual problem in the first place. Can we say that aspirin, heart medicine, and chemotherapy are all effective treatments? Yes. But without first determining which patient has what problem, you stand a good chance of killing your patients.<br />
<br /> It’s true that diagnosing the problem does take some time and is not nearly as appealing as applying a handy “Top 10” solution—but we’ve found that the real fun happens when you get measurable improvements to your profits, so it’s well worth the effort to build a factual foundation first. We’ve written several reports on how to diagnose conversion problems, and they’re available for free <a href="http://www.conversion-rate-experts.com/learning-zone/" target="_blank">via this link</a>.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: How do customer feedback solutions (such as Kampyle’s) directly or indirectly impact conversion rates?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>A:</strong> We hope you don’t mind if we’re very blunt: Kampyle is worthless if a company installs it, gathers feedback, and does nothing with it. Our own company is also worthless to a client who implements none of our advice. So in that sense there is no direct impact on conversion rates. But for the customer who installs Kampyle and acts on the visitor intelligence, conversion improvements can go sky high.<strong> One of our clients – a multimillion-dollar company – grew its sales by 35% immediately after installing Kampyle, simply by acting on the feedback that the majority of its visitors were giving.</strong><br />

<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: Your work with clients has shown that the perception that “long web pages don’t sell” is incorrect and that people will continue scrolling down and reading, provided that the material is interesting. Based on this, you encourage businesses to write as much as they need to explain their product or service. Do you have any tips on making material–even if long–more interesting to read? Are videos or infographics better options than written material for getting a message across?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>A:</strong> There’s no such thing as text that’s too long–only text that’s too boring. By the way, the same rule applies to video and infographics. If visitors are interested in what you have to say, they’ll happily read or watch, and probably search for even more material on your site. Just think back to the rare occasions when you were delighted to discover a site that provided exactly what you were looking for.<br />
<br /> The first key to becoming that sort of site is to segment your visitors. If you own a travel site, then it would be a big mistake to address all your customers as if they were one big blob. Business travelers are definitely different from honeymooners, who in turn differ from students studying abroad.<br />
<br /> The second key is to avoid boring, passive language. Businesses often are breeding grounds for stuffy, depersonalized, jargon-filled text. Take a machete to all instances of, “We’re a leading provider of”, or “our revolutionary new”, or “cutting-edge solutions.” These all are about as meaningful as being put on indefinite hold while hearing “Your call is important to us.” Instead, speak the way humans interact with each other, face to face. The lawyers and English majors in your organization will have a fit; just smile, nod politely, and ignore them.<br />
<br /> Another key is to avoid long blocks of text. People make an unconscious, instant evaluation of text, and if it looks like it will be a lot of work to get through a page, most people will avoid it.<br />
<br /> The beauty of using Kampyle is you can discover what visitors find confusing or interesting on each page of your site and you can adjust your message accordingly.<br />

<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: When gathering feedback from online visitors or customers, is the “benefit” of gaining insight into customer opinion outweighed by the “cost” of reading loads of individual pieces of feedback?</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>A:</strong> Absolutely. There is no more important contributor to increased conversions than to gain a deep understanding of what is going through the minds of your customers and also what is on the minds of qualified visitors who choose not to become your customers.<br />
<br /> In all of our engagements with companies, we’ve never encountered a single one that gathered too much feedback from visitors and customers, and almost all companies did far too little of it.<br />
<br /> You’re right that there’s a cost to gathering feedback because it not only must be digested, but it also must be acted upon or you’ve merely succeeded in wasting everyone’s time. Once most people complete a cycle of gathering feedback, acting on it, and seeing the results, they’re hooked.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: What would you suggest for smaller companies that already built their website and have limited funds for multivariate testing or other types of conversion-optimization analysis?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;">A: We’re firm believers in being bold in your tests. As we said earlier, you must gain a deep understanding of what your customers like, in addition to what’s holding back your qualified visitors who don’t buy. When you have that foundation, then you can skip all the “meek tweaks” that take forever to test. Instead, you can be highly effective on a small budget by looking for major revenue arteries that you can unclog.<br />
<br /> The great news is after just one or two of these well-researched bold tests, you’ll have increased revenues with which to pull away from your competition even faster.<br />
</span></p>
<p></a><span style="color: #20679c; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: bold;">Q: Are there any specific website sections or processes that in general, benefit more from the CRE Methodology?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #5c5b5b; font-size: 1.20em; line-height: 1.20em; font-weight: normal;"><strong>A:</strong> Not in general. Though many sites will benefit from bold testing of the home page by virtue of the amount of visitors that page gets, other sites have certain hot products, or perhaps a big issue with their checkout process. In those cases, focusing on the hot-product page or the shopping cart may yield the biggest results. It all comes back to two key concepts: understanding your visitors and customers, and measuring everything.<br />
