Introduction

1.1Background of the study

To achieve a set of organizational goals and objectives, companies conceptualize, design, and implement various strategies. These strategies can be corporate, business, or functional. Marketing strategies constitute one of the functional strategies amenable to application by contemporary companies in order to enhance performance. Marketing has been defined and conceptualized in various ways, depending on the author’s background, interest, and education. For example, marketing can be seen as a matrix of business activities organized to plan, produce, price, promote, distribute, and market goods, service, and ideas for the satisfaction of relevant customers and clients. marketing strategy is important for the success of any organization, whether service- or product-oriented. Marketing strategy is a method by which a firm attempting to reach its target market uses to attract customers. Marketing strategy starts with market research, in which needs, attitudes and competitor’s products are assessed and the firm concentrate its limited resources on the greatest opportunities to increase sales and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage (Nymous, 2006).Marketing strategy must focus on delivering greater value to customers and the firm at a lower cost however quantifying the return on investment from marketing expenditure on activities such as advertising, promotion and distribution is one of the most complex issue facing decision makers.

Feedback marketing is the process of the marketing department allowing customers to give transparent details about their experiences with a product or service. Companies that implement feedback programs are in tune with their customers. They get their customers entrenched in their products and brands. And when customers feel that they have a voice, they are more likely to be loyal.

Not utilizing feedback from customers can paralyze a company. Paralyzed companies are unaware of customer attitudes and future trends. This is why it is imperative that companies create strategies on how to receive feedback from their customers. Customer feedback is important to small businesses. It lets you know what your customers think of your products and services and provides a basis for taking action to improve any weaknesses in your business that affect customer satisfaction. A customer feedback strategy has two main elements: gathering the feedback and taking action based on the feedback. (https://smallbusiness.chron.com)

Develop a strategy that shows customers you welcome their feedback. Provide a feedback mechanism that is easy to use, such as a simple form on your website or a card that customers can mail free of charge. Encourage feedback by offering customers an incentive such as free entry into a prize draw. Publish feedback on a product or service review page on your website.

It’s no secret that displaying testimonials from happy customers on your website can be a huge advantage for your business. A Nielsen survey showed that 70 percent of people trust recommendations from complete strangers online. This moves them closer to engaging further with your brand and becoming a potential customer (Nielsen, 2011)

Customers who are already poised to buy are 90 percent more likely to decide on purchasing a product after they have read reviews from previous buyers.
