Customer Feedback Loop vs Engagement Loop 🔄

These loops serve different but complementary purposes:

Customer Feedback Loop

• Focus on improvement
• Two-way communication
• Product/service development
• Problem identification
• Long-term changes

Engagement Loop

• Focus on user retention
• Continuous user actions
• Feature utilization
• Habit formation
• Immediate rewards

Remember: While engagement loops focus on keeping users active, feedback loops ensure you’re building what users actually want. Together, they create a complete system for growth and improvement.

👆 By the way, the most successful companies often combine both loops – using engagement to keep users active and feedback to keep them satisfied. This creates a powerful system where customer input drives improvements, and those improvements drive more engagement.
