About What is Watchtower?
Watchtower is a survey platform for the mobile world. Present single question surveys that customers complete immediately from their smart phone or tablet. Two survey types let you choose how and when you are notified of new responses.
'Prompt' type survey responses are visible from your online dashboard. Prompts work well for collecting customer opinions for making future business decisions.
'Alert' type surveys send an immediate notification email when the response is recieved and are visible from your online dashboard. Alerts are appropriate for situations where immediate action is necessary.
Single Question, Many Benefits
Unobtrusive
Watchtower in unobtrusive. A Prompt or Alert is a single question and list of responses. Free form responses that collect feedback in a customer's own words are also available (and optional). A typical Watchtower Prompt or Alert is completed in less than 15 seconds. By keeping it simple, customers are able to quickly provide their opinion and continue with their day.
More Opinions
Traditional surveys collect the most extreme opinions, both positive and negative. Watchtower empowers the middle ground giving better insight into the majority of your customers. The single question Prompt takes seconds to fill out. By lowering the level of effort, more customers are empowered to voice their opinions.
Focus
Traditional surveys result in information overload. So many questions are asked that actionable feedback must be distilled from the maelstrom of data. Watchtower Prompts focus on a single aspect of your business and explicitly reveal areas that require focus.
Place Everywhere
Watchtower Prompts and Alerts are web based and optimized for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. An interaction begins when a customer scans a Watchtower QR Code or taps a Watchtower NFC Tag with their mobile device and is taken to the Prompt or Alert through their device's web browser.
Watchtower QR Codes are simple black and white images that can be placed just about anywhere including menus, postcards, signage, billboards, business cards, receipts, letters, websites, etc. A Watchtower QR Code is linked to a single Prompt or Alert. Customers use the camera on their mobile devices to scan the code and access the Prompt or Alert.
Watchtower NFC Tags are small adhesive stickers that contain a microchip linked to a single Watchtower Prompt or Alert. Customers touch the Watchtower NFC Tag with a compatible mobile device to access the Prompt or Alert.
With Watchtower QR Codes and Watchtower NFC Tags no typing or URL entry is necessary. Customers simply scan/tap and provide feedback.
Shorter Service-to-Feedback Intervals
Place at the point of the interaction
Prompts and Alerts are designed to be taken immediately while the customer’s experience is still fresh in their mind. Customers no longer need to go home and enter a long URL and cryptic redemption code into a web browser. With Watchtower, access to a Prompt or Alert is direct and instant by simply scanning/tapping a Watchtower Code with a capable mobile device.
More honest responses
By placing Prompts closer to the point of customer interaction, responses are more honest and unfiltered. Time skews a customer’s opinion, amplifying or dampening their original reaction. Watchtower gathers more honest responses by recording customer feedback directly after the experience, often before they have left your business.
Be proactive with customer issues
Alert type surveys deliver feedback to managers immediately. If a problem is reported, corrective action can occur in minutes instead of days or weeks.
Simple to Create
A Watchtower Prompt or Alert is simple to create and manage. Using the online Editor a basic business user can create a Prompt or Alert in a matter of minutes. A live preview displays exactly what a customer will see and experience.
Once finished, Watchtower QR Codes are available for download in a variety of sizes and in a format that is easily incorporated into printed collateral or signage.
