Customer feedback is very important to every eCommerce store owner. As much as possible, we want to keep our customers happy with our products and services. And to know what they think is very valuable as this creates a growing relationship with them.

Aside from making them feel that their thoughts are valued through feedback, this also helps the store improve.

Through customer feedback, we can gather information that:

  • Allows us to discover why customers purchase from us
  • Shows what is important for the customers
  • Shows the factors that affects their purchasing decisions
  • Let us know what gives them satisfactions and/or dissatisfaction
  • Highlight any area of the store that needs improvement
  • Will improve our products and services

And when we learn and take actions from all of these feedback from customers, the store could generate more and many more satisfied and happy customers.

A happy customer is indeed a loyal customer.

And these types of customers spread stories of their good experiences from you. And this will keep the store growing.

To collect feedback information from them, we need to create a survey that a customer can fill out. We can then read their answers, and learn from their opinions.

Now gathering feedback from customers comes handy with a great help from Google Docs. It is free and very easy to use. Here are simple and straightforward steps that you can follow so you can create your very own Google Feedback Survey form for your store.

How To Create Feedback Survey With Google Docs

Before anything else, make sure you have all your survey questions prepared and listed. Then follow these steps to create your Google Survey form:

Step 1. Go to drive.google.com using your store’s Gmail account login.

Step 2. Click on Create and select Form from the list.

Step 4. Choose a title that fits your store and a theme that complements your store’s theme or atleast closely to your store’s theme. Make sure you choose a theme that does not contradict the type of store that you have. Like if you sell wedding gowns, a form with book as theme would be inappropriate and vice versa.
