Time-based push notification works wonders during peak meal hours.

Opt into contactless delivery with Pop-ups

During the pandemic, Gregory's enabled pop-ups to inform its customers about Contactless Delivery to safely handle all orders. This tactic is effective and customers’ enthusiastic response can be seen in the conversion stats of the pop-up.

Enhance customer experience with surveys

The voice of the customers is a crucial input for the company. Gregory’s uses ContactPigeon’s survey tool monthly to gather feedback on customers’ order experience.

The survey comprises a short five-questionnaire sent via email, and the team carefully evaluates all responses. Helping Gregory's identify the customers who faced issues with the products or online experience, provides valuable inputs for future improvements. As a gesture of gratitude, customers who submitted feedback on issues are offered a gift on their next order.
