Challenges to Getting Feedback
Great product offerings are customer focused
Traditional feedback methods becoming less effective
• Gathering data is expensive (focus groups)
• Participation is limited
• Lengthy getting to results
Today people opine on the Internet
• Forums, blogs, & social media
• Statistically significant populations
• Form/contribute almost instantly – thank mobile
Challenge: Separating “wheat from chaff”
• AKAIF, IMHO, OMG, ROFL, >:(, etc.
