Our mission
The NetPromoterScore® is one of hollu’s key indicators of marketing activities. Our mission was to develop a standardized survey tool that enabled the NPS® to be repeatedly surveyed to check target achievement and performance evaluation.
The following requirements were placed on the instrument:
- Comparability across divisions and periods of the NPS®
- Linking key performance factors and experiences to the NPS®
- Including current topics
- Respondents can be contacted by hollu to discuss new trends, products or any issues that they might face

Sample
hollu customers from the last 4 months
Period
3x yearly since 2017
Our approach
- Survey carried out 3 times per year
- Respondents reply online or by phone
- Potential respondents are hollu customers of the last 4 months
- Reporting in the IMARK Insight Viewer
Overview of procedure:
In the first step, an online standardized survey was developed as a platform to allow current and future topics to be integrated.
The NPS® survey takes place 3 times a year with hollu buyers from the last 4 months. For the survey, we rely on a combined approach with parallel telephone and online surveys. This ensures the widest possible spread and, with smaller subgroups, higher numbers of cases can be achieved. Our algorithm ensures that:
- Customers from all divisions and regions are considered equally
- Every customer is surveyed only once a year
- Sufficiently large sub-samples are available in all three waves
The data is visualized in the IMARK Insight Viewer. The dashboard presents the NPS® data for all periods. The IMARK Insight Viewer allows hollu to analyse customer subgroups and if required, IMARK can undertake in-depth analyses (e.g. driver analysis, cluster analysis, etc.) using multivariate methods.
Insights and Call-to-action
- Assessment of the relationship quality between the customer and company based on the NPS® (across companies and according to subgroups such as regions, divisions, etc.)
- Specification of customer experiences (experiences and satisfaction)
- Insights on relevant and current topics
With the help of the IMARK Insight Viewer and further analysis, results are quickly available and easy to interpret. This has the following benefits:
- NPS® is directly involved in strategic and operational considerations at various management levels
- The tracking approach enables the early detection of undesirable developments and countermeasures can be taken in good time
- Questionnaire flexibility allows current topics to be dealt with promptly and cost-effectively
Respondents can choose to be contacted by hollu in order to discuss negative/positive experiences, questions about the product portfolio or new trends, for example.
