Trusted Partner Program
Program open to all businesses nationwide August 2020!
Customers need to know your business has prioritized their health and safety to the highest level to rebuild trust and confidence. Giving your customers an easy way to provide your business with how they feel about your health and hygiene standards is a step in that direction.
The Trusted Partner Program enables customers of participating businesses an easy way to provide direct feedback via SMS about their health and hygiene experience. Using a national, text-enabled number, customers simply send a text using the word “SAFE” and a chatbot walks them through a 3-question Health and Hygiene SMS Survey, enabling them to offer feedback about their visit. Businesses can access customers’ results on A Closer Look’s easy-to-use, near real-time dashboard reporting.
Providing an easy method for customers to provide feedback and engage with businesses directly means they’re less likely to use social media and review platforms to voice their concerns
Near real-time dashboard-based reporting and metrics arms you with the necessary information to measure your health and hygiene practices and build loyalty with customers
Straightforward SaaS-based monthly pricing per location allows you to collect unlimited customer feedback for a predictable low monthly rate
