NPS Score and Issues
You will now see a new NPS section on your monthly dashboard pdf.ย NPS (Net Promoter Score) measures the loyalty of the customer base with a score from -100 to +100, which comes from customers answering โWould you recommend Fruugo to your friends or family? โ 0-10 options (very unlikely - very likely).ย If score 0-6 we ask them to comment on their experience of shopping with Fruugo.ย This customer feedback is requested 30 days after the order was updated as shipped.ย If a significant number of customer feedback requests are received (over 30 in one month), your NPS score will be displayed on your dashboard along with a breakdown of the NPS issues by type.ย ย A good NPS score is over 0, but anything over 50 is excellent.ย A negative NPS score (below 0) indicates you need to make improvements. The NPS score impacts the marketing of your products on Fruugo.ย Therefore, it is vital you take action to improve your NPS if negative, to prevent action being taken on the account.ย Accounts with persistently poor NPS may be suspended.
Please see an example of a negative NPS score with significant responses on the dashboard along with some information on how to prevent and resolve the major NPS issues.
