Press Release: Free Reports Added to BizRate’s Customer Feedback Program

Free Reports Added to BizRate’s Customer Feedback Program
--BizRate® Research expands its free offering to include BizAdvisor and Comments Classifier --

Los Angeles, CA (September 23, 2009) – BizRate® Research announces the expansion of its free buyer feedback program to include two new reports: the BizAdvisor and the Comments Classifier. These new reports provide online retailers with enhanced insights about buyer behavior and needs.

The two new reports are now available to all of the 4500+ retailers already participating in the BizRate® Research Point-of-Sale and Order Fulfillment Network. The BizAdvisor report helps online retailers efficiently assess and prioritize improvements to key functional areas based on their correlation to key loyalty metrics and future buying intent. BizAdvisor also allows retailers to benchmark the behavior of their buyers against the buyers of other retailers within their category in the BizRate Network. These benchmarks are drawn from approximately one million surveys collected monthly from the buyers within this network. The Comments Classifier report provides more in-depth commentary and examples within each functional area. Additionally, the reports will include data points to augment the retailer’s insights about buying behavior, such as:
· Net Loyalty Scores
· Category Benchmarking
· Correlations and Quadrant Analysis
· Buyer Demographics
· Customer Comments Classified by Tone and Functional area

“These reports provide the foundation for consumer insights development and subsequent action plans. The BizRate® Customer Feedback program is indispensible for online retailers who are serious about prioritizing improvements to their ecommerce experience based on their buyers’ needs,” stated Hayley Silver, Director of Consumer Insights, BizRate Research.

BizRate® Research provides the opportunity for online retailers to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty with its robust assortment of customer feedback tools. The recent announcement of its non-buyer survey and this latest addition of the BizAdvisor and Comments Classifier reports significantly increased the consumer insight tools available to online retailers. The foundation of the Customer Feedback services that BizRate has provided to online retailers for over 10 years, are at no cost. BizRate also offers additional services, including survey customization, for a fee.

Press Release: Free Non-buyer Insights are finally here!

Free Non-buyer Insights are finally here!
--BizRate® Research offers a companion product to its free buyers’ surveys and reporting--

Los Angeles, CA (September 17, 2009) – BizRate® Research announces its new free non-buyer survey and reports product to help online retailers learn more about visitors’ experiences. The new product enhances the information available to online retailers for their end goal of increasing conversion and loyalty.

In response to retailer demand for greater insight into non-buyers, BizRate® created a new non-buyer survey and reports product as an added feature to enhance the suite of consumer insights tools it already offers to thousands of online retailers for free. “BizRate Research’s goal is to amplify the consumer voice such that each online retailer, and e-commerce as a whole, grows through consumer loyalty. Adding a listening post to collect the feedback of non-buyers complements the buyer point-of-sale feedback platform that BizRate has operated for over 10 years and, in doing so, offers retailers a comprehensive suite of customer satisfaction collection and measurement tools,” stated Hayley Silver, Director of Consumer Insights, BizRate Research.

This survey is easy to implement, provides rich information, and protects consumer privacy. Specifically, the non-buyer survey is designed to collect feedback from site visitors, cart abandoners and check-out abandoners. BizRate® Research also provides retailers with actionable monthly reports. When added to the widely adopted Buyers’ surveys and reports, retailers gain the “why” behind customer actions at every on-site touch point. “BizRate Research provides the most in-depth customer feedback and reporting tools for retailers – for free!” added Ms. Silver.

The non-buyer survey and reports product is currently in its beta; broader market release is scheduled for October 1, 2009. Several marquis retailers intend to integrate it in time for the 2009 Holiday season. Lucky Brand Jeans, first to launch the survey in July 2009, experienced a seamless implementation and is already beginning to reap the benefits of the new survey. “We expect those retailers with the code in their QA environments to move it to their live sites shortly,” reported Ms. Silver. “We welcome more retailers to join our program.”
