Marketing ace and friend, Bob Gutermuth (founder of Dialog Marketing) shared this recent experience with a Houston pizzeria. Reports Bob, “We left our feedback via a comment card that the waitress asked us to fill out. The very next day I received the following email from the restaurant:”
Dear Bob,
We have been receiving customer feedback from our comment cards. Our top complaints are:
1. Too Loud – Due to our 22ft ceilings it tends to make the store seem loud. We are looking into different ways to muffle the sound.
2. Past service – We have done an entire rehire for all servers the past 2 weeks and have seen a drastic increase in customer satisfaction toward service.
3. High drink prices – We are changing prices on our drinks to the following:
Boylans Soda’s from $3 to $2
Honest Tea from $3 to $2.50
VitaminWater from $3 to $2
1/3 Liter Spring Water and Sparkling Water from $3 to $2
1 Liter Spring Water and Sparkling Water from $7 to $64. Need a diet cola – As of today, we have added the Diet Cane Cola to our menu!
Thanks for everyone’s input.

Loyalty Tip: Don’t just ask for feedback. Put it to work! And circle back with customers to let them know how their feedback is being used to improve the customer experience.
