Ding! We’ve got some new features for you in our platform this month. Here are a few of the new capabilities we’ve been cooking up in our labs and are now available.
Repeat Customer Feedback
Many of you have businesses where you interact with your customers frequently, and want to be able to capture feedback from the same customer over time. The ability to capture more than one feedback per customer is important to many of you, so we’ve added it.
Second Email Follow-up
I know many of you have been waiting patiently for this one – we were almost done with this feature and then ended up revising a whole section of it to make it more streamlined and make the settings screen cleaner. I’m sorry it took longer than we wanted, but I think you’ll be happy with how it turned out!
By default, if you send out a feedback request to a customer and they don’t respond, GetFiveStars will send a reminder email out 3 days later (you can adjust this, or turn it off).
Our research shows that if you follow up with customers who don’t respond with one more reminder a week or two later, you will get many more responses. It seems three is the magic number. This new feature adds a “Second Reminder” that allows you to turn on a new follow-up email to remind customers who have not responded yet.
Note: The Second Reminder Email is turned “off” in your account by default, so you will need to go and turn in “on” and adjust the days setting to start using it.
You may have noticed in the screen shot above that the settings screens look a little different. We did an overhaul of the settings screens to make them much more “presentable”. We aligned the text and checkboxes, and all the elements on the screen, and added collapsible sections in all of the settings screens to make things more tidy. We hope you like it!
“Replied” Tag
With the Public and Private response to feedback capability we launched a few months ago, many of you asked for a quick and easy way to identify which customers you have already responded to. In addition to the Filters in the Customer Dashboard, we’ve added a “Replied” tag to every customer that you have already replied to.
Email Opened Logged in Activity Log
We’ve added the ability to see if your customer has opened the feedback request email now. You can see it in the “Activity Log” section of the Customer Profile.
Back To The Lab
Ok, that’s it for this month’s release notes. Thanks again for all of your excellent feedback and suggestions. We love nothing more than to hear your ideas and make GetFiveStars a little better for you each month. We have more features in the works so stay tuned.
