To address this challenge, companies are looking for contemporary ways to fetch the reviews from users, in order to deliver seamless mobile experience to them.
Here we elaborate 5 rich tips to obtain feedback from mobile customers.
Get engaged with your customer where they are
In many apps, users are redirected towards a webpage, email interface or twitter account to post the grievances they encounter during app usage. Such approach should be eliminated, as this leads to decline in user engagement. The feedback feature should be incorporated in the app itself which in turn increases the rate of feedback posting.
Establish a two-way feedback connection
The entire feedback process should be seamless and customers shouldnot experience any lags or hurdle during that time period. The GUI(Graphical User Interface) of the feedback feature in the app shouldbe simple and sober. You need to choose the effective mobilecommunication methodology to optimize the feedback process. Textingor calling should be the primary option compared to typing a longline of complaints.
Immediately act on customer feedback
Customers should get a feel that their feedback has been considered and valued. They should be assured that a prominent action would be implemented to resolve the issue. Directly approach customer and allocate enough time period in order to respond to their feedback. No matter, whatever the nature of customer review is, either positive or negative, don’t forget to pass an appreciation to them. If the feedback is a suggestion or bug report, then scavenge the entire code and eliminate the bug. Once the issue has been resolved, reach the customer and intimate them about it.
Businesses move ahead on the basis of customer feedback. Periodically conducting the follow-up with customers aids in increasing engagement which turns them into your beloved fans. The feedback posted by the customers in the review section should be appreciated, at the time when the app is updated.

Proactive customer service is something in which the businesses make the first move to assist the customers.Reactive customer service is where the customer gets the help only after filing the issue/complaint to the support desk. Customers are usually fond of proactive service and they really appreciate it. In some cases, businesses forward a message to customer to obtain the-review about their product/services. Periodically prompting customer for reviews imparts a feeling of assurance that the organisation is all the time open for suggestion.
