Hi Lorna, The ongoing silence to this thread suggests to me that maybe nobody has yet ventured into this in any formal way. Personally I hate customer satisfaction surveys like the plague. Having said this, I often ask one-off or occasional hirers "Was everything alright?" when (or if) I see them at the end of their booking. And when encountering a regular hirer in person, I may ask them "How's it going?" Occasionally I've had hirers volunteer feedback on their own initiative. Not so long ago I had a very nice thankyou card from a regular hirer when they finished using us, others may send Christmas cards with appreciative comments, and some of the feedback is, of course, constructive criticism - which I always try to address and do something about. The problem I have with formal surveys is that they proliferate the excessive quantification of the quality of people's work. In the end of the day, if I keep getting new prospective hirers to contact me on the basis of our place having been recommended by existing or former hirers, then I know that I'm doing something right, even if my customer satisfaction survey average rate may have dropped from 4.3 to 3.9 out of 5.

Dear all,
May I ask how, and how often, any of you conduct customer satisfaction surveys amongst hirers? Who in your structure does it (warden/premises manager, or someone from the LM), and what are you hoping to get out of it?
Any experiences would be very welcome to hear!
Thanks, Lorna.
