Where would our businesses be if we didn't listen to our customers? In the graveyard of failed businesses, that's where. Customer feedback is essential to offering customers products and services they actually want to pay for and to making sure you don't lose the customers you already have.
But it's difficult to get customers to number in philippines surveys, and it's time-consuming to approach them for research interviews.
So how should you collect feedback?
In this post, we dive into the options for creating a feedback portal that will help you organize customer feedback in one place.
What is a customer feedback portal?
A customer feedback portal is an application, player or website that customers can use to give feedback about the business at any time.
It is very different from a survey, market research session or focus group because they all take place during a set time. On the other hand, a feedback portal should be easy for customers to find and use whenever they want.
Whenever you have an idea or feel frustrated about something, you can visit their portal and send a message.
Below is an example of a board where customers can not only submit ideas but also view other customers' ideas and comment on them.

SaaS companies , eCommerce businesses , and event hosts can all benefit from using a dedicated portal to proactively collect customer feedback.
Below is an example from the popular accessory brand Fossil.
