I just got an oil change for my sedan at a franchised oil lube place. There was a toll-free phone number on the receipt to provide them feedback.

I must admit, I was a little reluctant to place the call because I knew the survey would be conducted by an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. These types of surveys always exhaust me with providing a description for your scaled answer selection each and every time they ask a question.

In these busy times, I believe the best customer feedback solution from a response rate is that of an on-line solution. These types of surveys allow a consumer to provide feedback on their own time and the completion rate is much higher than surveys taken thru an IVR system. An on-line customer feedback solution will also give you better data to analyze and can capture the all important verbatim comments from the consumer.
