Earlier this week we hosted an eCommerce Webinar featuring conversion rate expert and COO of AWA digital, Johann Van Tonder, joined by Feedback Expert at Qualaroo, Michael Nadelman. We had an in-depth discussion on how teams can capture and use feedback to reduce their shopping cart abandonment rate and, ultimately, drive conversions.
We’ve broken up the webinar into mini topics with the recording with relevant summaries and helpful articles that can help you apply these best practices on your own web properties.

Q&A
1.When it comes to segmenting your audience, how do you prioritize which visitors you reach to first?
2. How do you prevent survey fatigue? How often do you typically wait before asking a question to a user on your site?
3. What targeting capabilities does Qualaroo have?
Here are just a few of our favorite sound bites from their conversation.
“Customer complaints…[are] one of the most actionable pieces of insight. In fact, I’m more interested in hearing from people who want to complain and have something negative to say about the site than those who have something positive to say.”
“I’ve asked the team of optimizers at AWA who have been doing this for years. Consistently they say this is the question and the mechanism that gives them the most actionable [insights], the jewels.” See the question Johann is referring to below!
Johann’s three principles for driving sales, not distractions:
- Ask questions that are real-time and context-sensitive
- Embrace negative feedback
- Ask follow-up questions
