Your New Favorite Feedback Tool

 

What Is NPS®?

Net Promoter Score℠ is an industry-standard metric used to gauge satisfaction with an institution's services, products, or the institution overall. Each response includes a rating on a 0-10 scale, plus any comments from an optional follow-up question.

The NPS® Module gives you the tools to:

  • Create unlimited surveys tailored to your institution.
  • Bring your surveys to the patron at the point-of-service.
  • Understand your unhappy patrons, then make targeted improvements.
  • Review positive comments to give your fans more of what they want.
  • Track your institution's scores over time.

Why NPS®? NPS's appeal lies in its standardized simplicity!

Survey setup is quick and painless, and the standardized 0-10 rating scale allows you to easily analyze responses, make comparisons, and measure patron satisfaction over time.


The NPS® Calculation

LibAnswers automatically calculates your NPS® based on how patrons respond to your surveys. Your scores can range from a low of -100 (if every patron is a Detractor) to a high of 100 (if every patron is a Promoter).

Detractors (score 0-6)

Dissatisfied patrons who can potentially harm your library's reputation through negative word-of-mouth.

Passives (score 7-8)

Satisfied but unenthusiastic patrons who won't positively or negatively affect your institution's reputation.

Promoters (score 9-10)

Cheerleaders who will promote your services to others – pay attention to what they like so you can keep up the good work!
