Measure Patron Satisfaction with the Net Promoter Score℠ Module
What's the best way to learn what your patrons think about your library? Ask them!
NPS® is a metric for tracking patron satisfaction with your institution and its services. This brand-new add-on module for LibAnswers will be launching by the end of 2023!
With the Net Promoter Score℠ Module, you can:
- Collect feedback from patrons who visit your website, attend library events, chat with staff via LibChat, and more.
- Understand any unhappy patrons and make targeted improvements.
- Review positive comments to give your fans more of what they want.
The NPS® Calculation
Each NPS® is calculated based on how patrons respond to your survey question. Subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters yields the Net Promoter Score℠, which 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!
Why NPS®? The NPS® Module uses standardized 0-10 rating scales and calculations. This makes it easier than ever to analyze your survey responses, make comparisons, and gauge how satisfied patrons are with your services over a period of time.
The Basics of Setting Up the NPS® Tool
- Decide what you want feedback on. You can create unlimited surveys tailored to different library services, departments, events, branches, and resources – the possibilities are endless!
- Build your survey(s)! Each survey is a single question on a 0-10 rating scale, with an optional follow-up question for comments.
- Distribute the survey to your patrons and watch the responses start rolling in.
- Analyze your survey ratings and track your score over time. Use the filters on your NPS® Reports dashboard to see how different sources, surveys, or email campaigns impact the score.
