Activity 2.15 Customer surveys Session 9 Throughout Activity sheets 2.5 2.12 you have gathered together a range of information about managing and working in a salon environment. This information will help you to design and carry out a simple customer satisfaction questionnaire (see Activity sheets 2.13 and 2.14). You will work with a partner on this task. 1. Identify with your partner and your tutor/teacher/practitioner who your customer survey is aimed at. 2. Check back over all the tables you have completed in Activity sheets 2.5 2.12 to help you plan your questionnaire. These tables will indicate key areas and questions you should be thinking about for your survey. 3. Discuss the final layout with your tutor/teacher/practitioner, making any suggested changes/additions. 4. Gather responses from people using the following methods. Face to face. Over the telephone. Using the Internet (this could be done on the college/school website). Written. Note: You will need to think about data protection here. You may need to reassure those completing your questionnaire that all the information they give you will be for that purpose only, and will be kept confidential. 5. Analyse your findings by answering these questions. How many people completed the questionnaire? How many people did you ask to complete the questionnaire? How many people gave the same answer to the same question? Are there any questions people did not answer? Is there any supplementary information that might be useful? 6. Evaluate your findings. What was your survey about? Was it completed by as many people as you expected? What were the key popular opinions/views from the people who took part in the survey? What question (or questions) was the least important to the people who took part in the survey? What and how could you use any of the extra information? How important do you think customer satisfaction surveys are to a business? 7. Present your findings to your peer group. Choose your method/s of presentation. For example, you might use any of these or a combination: Flipchart PowerPoint Smart board Wipe board Handouts Charts and table. 60 Pearson Education Ltd 2009.
