From feedback to reach: ImmoScout24 relies on the voice of the community

AUSGANGSLAGE
ImmoScout24 is the leading platform for real estate listings in Switzerland. With the launch of their new app, the company presented existing users with changes — some familiar functions were temporarily unavailable. The expectation: an increase in negative feedback. In order to deal proactively with the situation, ImmoScout24 was looking for a solution to pick up customers in a targeted manner, address dissatisfaction and at the same time make positive experiences visible.
ZIEL

Intercept negative votes before they become public
Frustrated users should be given a space to share feedback — before they vent on review platforms.

Activate positive voices in a targeted manner
Satisfied users should be specifically motivated to share their positive experiences — for example through recommendations or app store reviews.

Make existing users aware of the new app
ImmoScout24 wanted to attract existing customers to the new app through recommendations from satisfied users — and thus build trust through social confirmation.
Einsatz Empfehlungs- und Feedbacklösung hypt
With hypt, an automated feedback loop was integrated directly into the app launch. After using the new app, users received a targeted email asking for feedback.
Dissatisfied customers were guided by multiple choice questions, were able to optionally get rid of their frustration in free text form and leave their contact details. At the same time, they were informed about the planned return of missing functions — this created understanding and trust.
Satisfied customers, in turn, were given the easy opportunity to recommend the app and leave a review in the App Store — an active community building that helped the company positively shape public perception.
