Use your own domain as email sender

You should always use your own email domain (e.g., @npstoday.com) as sender on your email surveys. This will give the customer more trust in the survey that they are receiving because it has a sender e-mail they can relate to.

To use your own domain you need to verify that our IP addresses may send out email with your domain. A non-verified email domain results in surveys bouncing or ending in spam. no-reply@npstoday.com is the default domain of accounts, and always safe to send out with.

You can contact support@npstoday.com if you want to know more about setting up your own domain, or to request a verification. In the email you include the desired sender domain and the contact information of your employee who should receive the documentation for setting up the verification.

Increase the volume of respondents

To get more answers you can of cause ad more respondents to your campaigns. Here are a few situations where it could make sense to do that.

Lower the number of throttling days

On campaigns with throttling (anti-spam) enabled you can ask your self if the number of throttling day is too high. with a high throttling period you will block a high number of the surveys that could be send out. Of cause you have to think about the balance between getting more responses and not spamming you customers with surveys, but it is a question you need to ask your self as you get more used to using nps.today and get more experience with the NPS method.

Remember that a short and simple survey will enable you to ask more frequently.

Different stakeholders can have different experiences with your company, why it can be important to get feedback from all relevant stakeholders.
