Consumers are gradually starting to ignore sales pitches and tune out the invasive marketing methods that many businesses still employ regularly. And subsequently, these changes have made way for a new method of bringing in new customers – inbound marketing. Inbound marketing has recently become a very popular method of marketing among digital-first businesses, especially in terms of content marketing – which is considered a subset of inbound marketing. As a result, many content and inbound marketing tools have since been developed to make these strategies more efficient.

Collecting and analysing feedback is one thing, but bringing it to a profitable conclusion by taking action is what makes the whole feedback process worthwhile. We refer to this last step as ‘closing the feedback loop’. This is a key concept in managing the online customer experience, which is why it’s important that this step is not overlooked. It’s also imperative that this step is carried out as efficiently and effectively as possible. To do this, close collaboration is often required. The question is, what does this collaboration look like?

Can a large incumbent company rediscover how to act like an agile start-up?
I believe the answer is yes, though success depends largely on another question: Can the executive team learn to get out of the way?
Behaving like an agile start-up implies speed, a sharply defined mission, and a deep understanding of customers. Those qualities allow a company to consistently formulate the right strategy and execute it cleanly—but also to pivot decisively when conditions change.

This is the fifth of the eight-part episode tutorial on the topic MEMS and Sensors Marketing, Oxymoron or Opportunity. The topic of this episode is putting the “s” back into MEMS and the challenges of doing so. Welcome back to those who have been following this bi-weekly tutorial series and a cordial welcome to those who are joining us for the first time.
It is interesting to consider that this tutorial series focuses on the theme of ‘oxymoron’ from a marketing perspective. Additionally, and for this episode, the topic of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) itself is truly another oxymoron or misnomer from several perspectives...

Our client, a major manufacturer of various simulators, hypothesized they had an opportunity innovate on how doctors trained for a particular set of invasive medical procedures. For decades, training for these types of procedures was carried out using plastic models or pig cadavers, but neither captured the look and feel of the human body, and both involved considerable expense. In some countries, students trained on actual patients, which had its dangers. Was there a better way? The innovation team at this leading simulator manufacturer had built a prototype that used a dramatically different technology – 3D virtual reality simulation – but needed to test its appeal with end users and purchase decision makers.

Customer feedback is information coming directly from customers about the satisfaction or dissatisfaction they feel with a product or a service. Customer comments and complaints given to a company are an important resource for improving and addressing the needs and wants of the customer. The information is procured through written or oral surveys, online forms, emails, letters, or phone calls from the customer to the company.
