Surveys work well to get large scale feedback Survey Style and Function
Keep it short & sweet: Ask only the questions that you’ll use: Remember the open-ended questions: One question at a time Use online survey sites (Survey Monkey) to develop valid and
unbiased questions. Communicating via Surveys
Stay neutral: Be precise and stay topical
Make rating scales consistent: Avoid leading and loaded questions: Sometimes you need a yes/no:

6 QUICK TIPS TO IMPROVE SURVEY RESPONSE RATES
Give advance warning – During event, class
Distribute during down times/while they are waiting.
Included info about how results will be used. Don’t lie
Be quick. Short and sweet.
Offer incentives. Small discount or an entry into a drawing can help ensure that respondents complete your survey.
Make it fun. Use a friendly tone, show some personality.
QUANTITATIVE VS. QUALITATIVE FEEDBACKWHEN SURVEYS AREN’T ENOUGH
Conversations are Critical Focus groups/one-on-one interviews allow genuine
thoughts The truth is… people lie on surveys (Cornell University)
People boast about their behavior Up their status and deflate that of others May not want others to know something about them Embarrassed by questions or their answers Being polite
Don’t remember (In one survey 40% of respondents false reported the number of days they spent in a hospital)
Question confusion What is a recreation program? What is meant by “participating?”
People are “terrible” at predicting “future intentions”

POLLS EVERYWHERE

DOUBLE TREE EXAMPLE
Ask people in your social network to share their opinions on a critical issue through a survey or poll.
Check out how DoubleTree is improving its service offerings (and its fan base and social media engagement while they're at it) by asking its social community to complete a short survey.
The company starts by tweeting a link to the survey with its hashtag, #LittleThings. It's aPromoted Tweet, which shows DoubleTree cares enough to spend money on getting the public's feedback.
Also notice how many retweets it has already received as people share the survey with their friends.
The link takes you to DoubleTree's Facebook page, where you're asked to Like the page to complete the survey. And you know what? I'm just opinionated enough to do it.
Once the survey is complete, DoubleTree does two smart things. First, they say "thank you" -- in really, really big letters. Second, they show a live tweet stream of the #LittleThings hashtag and invite you to join the discussion back on Twitter.
THANK, APPRECIATE AND LISTEN

SOCIAL MEDIA
RESPONSE STRATEGY
AVOID THE BIG FOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE BLUNDERS
WHAT TO DO WITH NEGATIVE REVIEWS?
DO NOT Take reviews personally Respond emotionally. Make excuses. Get defensive. Attempt to publicly identify a negative reviewer.
Even if you know who the reviewer is, do not identify the reviewer by name unless the reviewer voluntarily provided a name in the review.
Do not confront a reviewer if you are able to identify them.
DO Combat negative reviews with honest, sincere and professional
responses. To show your commitment to providing good service,
acknowledge mistakes and offer to make amends. When implemented correctly, dissatisfied customers are likely to turn into brand advocates for you.
When applicable, invite the reviewer to contact the business privately to resolve the situation. (Don’t forget to provide clear contact information!)
Keep responses short and concise. Under promise and over deliver
Dos and Don’ts Sample Responses
Sometimes it’s best to do nothing.
“Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Please contact (Name) at (Email address) or (Phone Number) to give us the opportunity to resolve your issue.”
“We are sorry to read this but thank you for discussing your experience so we can take steps to prevent this from happening again.”
“Please accept our sincere apologies for the long wait you experienced due to circumstances beyond our control. We look forward to taking care of you promptly next time.”
CUSTOMER REVIEW SITES – WHO ARE “REVIEWERS”?

Use tools like TweetDeck or Twitter Search to monitor conversations about your company in real-time. To check once a day, set up an RSS feed for a specific Twitter Search to go straight to your Google Reader.
Do this by clicking the little RSS icon after you complete a search. Now, ongoing search results will be sent to your reader.
2) Scan Google Alerts ( 1.5 minutes ): Check your Google Alerts for your company name, products, executives or brand terms. To set this up, enter your search terms and select to receive updates as they happen or once daily. Now, when
people blog about your products, an alert will be sent to your inbox. You can read the articles and respond right away!
3) Check Facebook stats ( 1 minute ): Visit your Agency’s Facebook Insights. This can be found by clicking "more" under the page's main photo. Scan
your fans and page views count. If you are a member of a group, check to see if any new discussions started.
4) Answer Industry-related LinkedIn questions ( 3 minutes ): Search for questions on LinkedIn that you or members of your company can answer. You can set up an RSS feed for specific question categories to go to your Google Reader as well. When you find a relevant question, respond and include a link to your website.
5) Use Google Reader to check Flickr, Delicious, Digg and others ( 2.5 minutes ): Also set up RSS feeds for searches on your company name and industry terms in other social media sites.
