Web Survey Service launched at Demo 99

New service Launched at Leading Technology Conference

INDIAN WELLS, Calif., February 8, 1999--CustomerSat.com, Inc. launched today at Demo 99, a new Web-based service to help marketing and support professionals quickly grasp and respond to the needs and preferences of visitors to e-commerce and customer-support Web-sites. Trial use of the system, called Web Survey Service , is available free of charge.

Visitors to CustomerSat.com's Web site, www.CustomerSat.com , can design a professional, ready-to-use Web-based questionnaire in minutes. A pop-up browser window placed on any Web site then invites and captures responses to the survey. Survey results, including cross tabulations and graphs, are available immediately.

"We want people to experience just what an easy-to-use and powerful customer research system Web Survey Service is," said John Chisholm, CEO of CustomerSat.com. "That's why we are offering it free of charge for either the first 60 days or up to 1,000 survey responses."

Chris Shipley, Executive Producer of the Demo Conferences advised, "To assure success, every e-commerce and support site should collect and respond to detailed feedback from visitors continuously. CustomerSat.com was invited to Demo 99 because their Web Survey Service makes this possible easily and cost effectively."

"The CustomerSat.com Web Survey Service allows us to tailor surveys directly to our customers' interests, based on the specific area they are seeking information on our website," said Mike Massey, manager, Services Web, N.E.T. "As a result, we have had a dramatic increase in response rate - tripling within the past month. This allows us to fine tune our information and programs more quickly as part of our customer satisfaction program."

Easy-to-Design Questionnaires

Designing a questionnaire with Web Survey Service is fast and easy. A menu of professional survey questions is available and five types of survey questions can be created. Two proprietary features of the Web Survey Service provide the ability to arrange survey questions for best effectiveness. By selecting the "Reorder Expert," questions are automatically sorted to reflect the expert knowledge of a seasoned market researcher. A unique Web click-and-point technique allows repositioning of any question on the survey. Upon completion, the questionnaire is immediately available for use. Online help is available for detailed assistance.

Pop-up Window and E-mail Survey Invitations

A simple and effective way to request survey participation is to use a pop-up browser window that engages Web-site visitors. After the questionnaire is designed, a single line of HTML script can be placed on any Web page to present visitors with a browser window containing the survey. The frequency of this pop-up window can be adjusted to appear to every Web site visitor down to just one visitor out of every 100 visitors for heavy-traffic sites. The survey URL can also be sent via e-mail to invite participants to the survey.

Real-time Analysis with Cross Tabulations

Web Survey Service reports are generated and updated in real time on password-protected Web pages. Reports for free-trial users show frequency distributions, statistical mean scores, verbatim comments and cross tabulations to all pairs of questions. Complex cross tabulations, quadrant charts, trend lines, and factor and regression analyses are available to contracted Web Survey Service users.
