The obligatory stats
Enough quantitative feedback to have a benchmark
Good qualitative answers to learn from
Success!
Also… increased our pool of users to easily talk to in future for research
Success! / Bonus
We’ve started another campaign using the same micro survey for another feature of the application.
We’ll try other tools like Intercom too and compare engagment rates.
Ahead / More campaigns, more tools
