A dive into Cheers' new employee badges offering, and why it's better than any other badge you've seen.
Introducing Cheers NFC Smart Badges
We’re super excited to announce the launch of our brand-new feature: The NFC Smart Badges! These aren’t your typical employee badges. This does
so much more than just display a name or a company logo. With a simple tap, our Smart Badges open up a world of possibilities for businesses, employees, and customers.
Let’s dive into why we’re so excited
What Are Cheers NFC Smart Badges?
These are tap-enabled badges that use NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. What does that mean? In simple terms, these badges allow customers to interact with your business effortlessly. All a customer has to do is tap their smartphone on the badge, and instantly, they can leave a review, provide feedback, verify an employee’s identity, or even access specific information about your products or services.
Gone are the days of asking customers to fill out long forms or navigate complicated websites. With Cheers Smart Badges, everything is quick, easy, and seamless. It literally gives every employee the power to turn face-to-face interactions into extremely valuable business insights with just one tap.
How Do Cheers Smart Badges Work?
Here’s how it works in real-life scenarios:
Tap and Go: An electrician arrives at a customer’s home to complete a job. Once the job is done, the customer taps their smartphone on the electrician’s Smart Badge. Instantly, a feedback form pops up on their screen, allowing them to leave a review on the spot.
Instant Feedback: A waiter serves a table at a busy restaurant. The customer taps the waiter’s Smart Badge before leaving, and they can quickly rate the service, leave a tip, or even recommend the restaurant to others.
Lead Collection: A representative at a trade show uses a Smart Badge. Attendees tap the badge, which automatically collects their contact information and shows them more details about the products being showcased.
In every situation, the interaction is smooth, fast, and convenient for both the customer and the business.
What This Means for Businesses
If we’re being honest, getting customer feedback is hardly ever easy. It could be collecting reviews, gathering leads, or making sure employees are recognized for their hard work, the methods most businesses use are usually slow and inefficient.
Our Smart Badges change all that.
Here’s what they mean for your business:
Increased Reviews and Feedback: With our Smart Badges, it’s easier than ever to get real-time feedback from customers. The simplicity of the tap-and-go process means more customers will actually take the time to leave a review. In fact, we’ve already seen a 5-10x increase in feedback and 5-star reviews within the first month of using Smart Badges.
Employee and Product Attribution: Cheers Smart Badges allow you to track which employees are getting the best feedback and which products or services are most popular. This data is gold for improving your business. Managers can use it to recognize top performers, provide targeted training, and address any issues proactively.
Boost in Sales and Reputation: Positive reviews and customer satisfaction are key to growing your business. With more real-time reviews coming in, your business’s online reputation will improve, attracting more customers and boosting sales.
Seamless Integration: The data collected through the Smart Badges integrates smoothly with the Cheers platform, giving you a comprehensive view of your business’s performance. This makes it easier to manage customer interactions, track employee performance, and make data-driven decisions.
What This Means for Employees
Employees are at the heart of every business, and our Smart Badges are designed to make their lives easier too.
Here’s what they mean for your team:
Instant Recognition: Employees can receive immediate feedback for their hard work. When customers leave positive reviews or comments, they know who made the experience great. This recognition can be incredibly motivating, boosting morale and encouraging employees to keep delivering excellent service.
Healthy Competition: Our Smart Badges also allow managers to set up friendly competitions between employees. Who can get the most 5-star reviews this week? Who’s going above and beyond in customer service? These competitions make work more fun and also drive performance across the board.
Professional Growth: The data collected from Smart Badges can help identify areas where employees might need additional training or support. This means employees can grow and improve in their roles, leading to better career opportunities and job satisfaction.
Ease of Use: Employees don’t have to worry about complicated technology or extra tasks. The Smart Badges are easy to use, requiring nothing more than a simple tap from the customer. This means they can focus on what they do best – serving customers.
What This Means for Customers
Finally, let’s talk about the customers. After all, they’re the ones who interact with the Smart Badges the most.
Here’s what they mean for your customers:
Convenience: Customers love anything that saves them time and effort. Our Smart Badges do just that. With a quick tap, they can leave a review, provide feedback, or access important information without having to go through any complicated steps.
Confidence: Smart Badges add a layer of transparency to the customer experience. When a customer taps a badge, they can verify the employee’s identity, making them feel more secure and confident in the service they’re receiving.
Personalized Experience: Because feedback can be attributed to specific employees and products, customers know that their input is valued and taken seriously. This creates a more personalized and engaging experience and makes them more likely to return.
Positive Interactions: With the focus on real-time feedback, customers can share their experiences while they’re still fresh in their minds. This leads to more honest and positive interactions which benefits both the customer and the business.
