BMW looks beyond tick-box surveys for customer insights

BMW Group UK has deployed a new multi-channel-capable textual analysis tool to drive deeper analysis of customer feedback

Following a six-month trial, BMW Group UK is rolling out Feedback Ferret’s end-to-end, multi-channel customer feedback analysis tool across the country.

Feedback Ferret takes customer feedback and conducts a textual analysis, delivering insights on trends and feedback themes to Web-based dashboards. It's capable of combining customer data from multiple channels including social, online and offline surveys, call centre notes and email.

Other Feedback Ferret clients include Nissan, Harley-Davidson, AXA, Lloyds TSB and Swiss Re.

BMW UK has a star-rating system for its dealerships, which lets customers rate their experience on a scale of one to five, as well as leave comments about the service they received. The value of Feedback Ferret will be in giving BMW the ability to understand the reasons for the ratings given by customers.

“This system will really help us to understand the reasons why customers give us the scores they do, so that we can make real improvements to our customer experience, and continue to improve profitability by doing what our customers want," said BMW customer strategy manager, Jonny Combe.

The six-month trial period used data from sales, after-sales and product satisfaction surveys from BMW, MINI and Motorrad BMW Bikes.

BMW has now started to move beyond 'tick box' forms, implementing shorter customer surveys but allowing space for meaningful textual feedback that can be analysed using Feedback Ferret.

Insights from the Feedback Ferret system will also be fed to BMW's factories within 24 hours of a customer leaving comments.

Marketing prowess versus the enigma of the metaverse

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.

More than money talks in sports sponsorship

As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
