Seeking to better understand and act on insights garnered from its retail and digital customer journey, Sally Beauty is implementing a customer experience management program. Using SMG VisitView, a location-level CX survey, Sally Beauty is capturing customer feedback across its retail locations through a post-purchase email invitation.

To keep pace with the continued growth of its e-commerce business, Sally Beauty is using SMG eTrack to capture feedback from both purchasers and non-purchasers about the online shopping experience, measure satisfaction and evaluate conversion rates. Following delivery, the retailer is using SMG PostShip—a post-fulfillment feedback tool—to measure order accuracy, timing and delivery satisfaction.
