Enhancing Customer Intelligence: Connecting with Your Customers via WhatsApp Surveys

Enhancing Customer Intelligence: Connecting with Your Customers via WhatsApp Surveys

In the ever-evolving world of technology, new and exciting avenues emerge for businesses to gather valuable insights through the Voice of the Customer. At Smoke CI, we recently had the pleasure of assisting a client in the ISP industry by utilizing WhatsApp surveys for data collection. The results were not only impressive, but they showcased the power of this platform in connecting with customers and increasing survey response rates.

Our client sought to gain a deeper understanding of their customer base, focusing on product preferences and expenditure trends related to fiber and data services. Additionally, they wanted to segment their clients into "heavy" and "light" user groups. They approached us with the requirement for a company-branded, mobile-friendly, and shareable WhatsApp survey.

We not only delivered a solution tailored to our client's needs but also added a method to validate mobile numbers to facilitate the segmentation process effectively. The icing on the cake was the exciting response rate achieved through our WhatsApp survey distribution.

The results from this WhatsApp survey shone:

The outcome of the WhatsApp survey left us pleasantly surprised. Within the first 24 hours, we received a remarkable 10% response rate, which continued to climb to 16% throughout the first week. By leveraging reminders strategically, we were able to predict unprecedented response rates of up to 20%. These figures far surpassed what we typically see with online links distributed via email and SMS.

Using WhatsApp as a distribution channel yielded outstanding results for several reasons:
  1. Wider Reach: WhatsApp's popularity ensures access to a broad user base, making it easier to engage with a more extensive audience.
  2. Enhanced Response Rates: The convenience of responding to surveys on WhatsApp, coupled with the familiarity of the platform, encourages higher participation and more genuine feedback.
  3. Seamless Integration: By integrating the survey with the client's WhatsApp channel, we ensured a smooth and frictionless experience for survey respondents.
Ensuring Compliance and Data Security:

We take data privacy seriously, and all our survey processes are POPIA-compliant, safeguarding customer information at every step. You can rest assured that your customer's data is in safe hands.
