In this second part of the Synergistic CX podcast, the team uncovers deeper insights into the customer journey within flower shops, focusing on successes and improvement areas. From analyzing sentiment data and mapping complaints against the 7 Ps of the Marketing Mix to creating a targeted Voice of the Customer (VoC) survey, this episode delivers practical strategies for improving customer experiences. Special guest Steven Di Pietro, shares expert advice on tackling hidden biases in reviews, understanding performance inconsistencies, and boosting survey response rates.
Customer Journey Insights: Strong Performance with Key Opportunities
The team begins by reviewing the customer journey map, which reveals consistently strong sentiment across most stages. However, a slight dip in payment and pricing stands out as a recurring area for improvement. This reinforces the need for flower shops to ensure smooth and transparent payment processes to maintain an otherwise exceptional customer experience.
Uncovering Hidden Bias and Inconsistencies
The team highlights how hidden biases and inconsistencies can distort customer feedback. Steven explains that sensory factors, like store ambiance and fragrance, can inflate review scores, masking underlying issues. He also points out that low-scoring areas often show the most consistency, signaling a deeper need for improvement. Businesses must look beyond surface-level ratings to uncover true performance gaps and address overlooked weaknesses.
From Insights to Action: Designing a VoC Survey
The concept of creating a Voice of the Customer (VoC) survey based on customer reviews has been also introduced. Cristiani emphasizes the importance of focusing on weak performance areas, such as product range and quality during the conversion stage and the initial greeting in the consideration stage. This targeted approach ensures businesses ask the right questions, reducing guesswork and maximizing survey effectiveness.
Boosting Survey Response Rates: Practical Advice
Our special guest Steven Di Pietro provides actionable recommendations for improving survey response rates. He highlights the inefficiency of passive methods like QR codes or receipts and encourages businesses to engage their existing customer databases. Sending personalized follow-up emails to frequent customers gives better results and more valuable feedback, enabling flower shops to refine their customer experience strategies.
