And the Winner is........

Congratulations to Ann Dieckmann, Managing Director of Brighton based medical communications company Facilitate, who was the lucky winner of a Nintendo Wii after taking part in our customer satisfaction survey.

At Nido we like to practice what we preach so back in January we conducted a customer satisfaction survey to gain valuable feedback from our clients on the services we offer. We have learnt from experience that your customers can be instrumental to adapt and improve your service and therefore retention rate.

As part of the survey clients could win a Nintendo Wii if they gave us a testimonial, all the companies that took part were put into a hat and the winner drawn at random by Jacky Misson. Luckily for Ann her name emerged as the winner and you can read her testimonial on our website: http://www.nidomarketing.co.uk/facilitate.html

Thanks to everyone that took part in the survey, your participation is much appreciated by all the Nido Marketing team.

Client Retention & Customer Satisfaction

When times are tough, it is more important than ever that businesses provide the best possible service to their customers to ensure they don’t lose them to competitors. Research has shown that 80% of companies believe they provide a superior client experience but only 8% of their clients agree*.Finding out how our customers feel about us means that not only can we adapt and improve our service and therefore our retention rate, it can also give us the chance to up-sell or cross-sell to a marketing that already knows and trusts us. At Nido we have seen a growing number of companies approaching us to help discover their clients’ perceptions of their service and delivery levels. Finding out weak spots, areas for improvement or what clients really value about them can all help to reduce attrition or defection to competitors. Read Full Article »
