Collecting valuable user feedback is essential to improving your product and enhancing customer satisfaction. However, gathering that feedback efficiently can be a challenge, especially if you’re relying on passive methods or outdated tools.
With Userback, you can supercharge your feedback collection efforts and increase user feedback by 65%. 👊
In this article, we’ll explore best practices for using Userback’s key features to maximize the amount of feedback you collect from your users.
These strategies will help you capture more insights, leading to better decision-making and product development.
1. Target Feedback Requests at the Right Time
Userback’s Targeting features allow you to trigger feedback requests at key moments in the user journey. Instead of waiting for users to provide feedback on their own, prompt them at the right time, increasing engagement and responses.
Best Practices
Trigger Feedback at Key Moments: Set up triggers during important actions, such as after completing a purchase, signing up for a new feature, or reaching a milestone in your app. These are moments when users are most likely to provide feedback.
Segment Users for More Relevant Feedback: Use targeting to display feedback requests or surveys to specific user segments based on their behavior, role, or account type. This reduces feedback fatigue and increases the likelihood of receiving relevant feedback from the right audience.
Keep the Prompt Simple: Make sure the feedback request is straightforward and quick to respond to. Users are more likely to give feedback if the process is easy and takes minimal time.
💡Targeted feedback requests actively engage users, leading to more timely and relevant feedback, without the need for users to seek out the feedback form on their own.
2. Get In-Depth Insights with User Surveys
Userback’s User Surveys allow you to gather more detailed feedback by asking specific questions that matter to your product development. You can customize surveys to focus on various aspects of the user experience, helping you understand user preferences and pain points in greater depth.
Best Practices
Use Targeted Surveys: Tailor surveys to specific user segments, such as long-term customers, new users, or those who recently used a particular feature. This ensures that the feedback is relevant and insightful.
Keep Surveys Short and Focused: A survey that takes less than two minutes to complete will have a higher response rate. Focus on asking a few high-impact questions to avoid survey fatigue.
Ask Open-Ended Questions for Deeper Insights: While multiple-choice questions provide quantitative data, open-ended questions can give you qualitative feedback that uncovers user frustrations, needs, or ideas you hadn’t considered.
💡 Surveys allow you to gather specific and detailed feedback, helping you better understand user expectations and improve your product accordingly.
3. Engage Users with the Feedback Portal
Userback’s Feedback Portal enables users to suggest new features, vote on existing ones, and share feedback on your product roadmap. This is a powerful way to involve users in the product development process and capture feedback on features that matter most to them.
Best Practices
Make the Feedback Portal Easily Accessible: Promote the Feedback Portal in-app or through email so users know where to go to share feature requests and vote on suggestions.
Encourage Engagement Through Updates: Keep your users engaged by regularly updating the portal with the status of feature requests (e.g., "Planned," "In Development," or "Completed"). This motivates users to keep contributing feedback.
Prioritize Features Based on User Input: Use the voting system to prioritize features that are most requested by users. This ensures your product roadmap aligns with what your customers want the most.
💡 The Feedback Portal engages your users in a more active role in shaping your product, leading to more feedback and stronger user engagement. Check out Userback's Feedback Portal as an example.
4. Collect Instant Feedback with the Feedback Widget
The Feedback Widget is a highly customizable tool that lets users share feedback directly from your website or app at any time. It’s always accessible, meaning your users can submit feedback whenever they encounter an issue or have a suggestion.
Best Practices
Make the Widget Visible and Easy to Use: Position the Feedback Widget in a visible location on your website or app, such as the lower right corner, so users can easily find it when they want to share feedback. You can even use our JavaScript SDK to launch the widget from any element in your UI.
Customize the Widget for Different Pages or User Segments: Customize the widget based on the user journey or specific pages. For example, you might create a bug reporting widget to collect bug reports on your support page, and a separate feature requests widget on your product page.
Enable Screenshot and Video Capture: Allow users to submit screenshots or record their screens directly in the widget. This helps you collect visual feedback, making it easier to understand user issues. You can even customize your widget to automatically capture a screenshot, which makes it even easier for your users to submit their feedback.
💡 The Feedback Widget allows users to submit feedback instantly and conveniently, increasing the volume of feedback you receive by being constantly accessible.
Conclusion
Collecting feedback doesn’t have to be passive or difficult. By leveraging Userback’s Targeted Feedback, User Surveys, Feedback Portal, and Feedback Widget, you can collect 65% more feedback and gain valuable insights to improve your product.
