The Importance of Collecting Customer Feedback
July 21, 2008 – 2:17 pmDon't be afraid to listen to your customers' feedback. If they're talking, you should treat it as a great opportunity to improve.

With that in mind, why wouldn’t you want to have your feedback show up in multiple places online. If I’m torn between a similar product from two rival companies, as a customer, I’ll more likely buy from the business that demonstrates it listens to its customers and gives them a platform to share their reviews, suggestions, and general feedback.
