Businesses need to understand that customer needs, experiences and expectations are an integral part of improvement. Qualitative feedback adds depth and context to customer motivations, emotions and behaviours; here are a few effective methods for collecting qualitative feedback:

1. Interviews: Conducting one-to-one interviews provides an in-depth examination of customer opinions, which can be held in person, over the phone or via video streaming, allowing for deeper probes as well as observation of nonverbal cues for greater understanding

2. Focus Groups: Focus groups are small groups of people discussing perceptions and experiences of a product, with the objective of obtaining rich feedback and generating deeper insights - particularly useful when reviewing new ideas or existing products.

3. Open-ended Surveys: While most surveys are quantitative, including open-ended questions allows customers to express themselves more fully than multiple-choice answers alone.

4. Customer Observation: Watching your customers use the product can reveal insights that they would not convey directly. This method is useful for improving user interfaces or physical layouts.

5. User Experience Tests: UX testing for your digital products involves seeing how users interact with the website or app while participants describe their thought processes aloud, offering instant usability insights.

6. Social Media Monitoring: Different social media platforms offer real-time, candid feedback that can provide valuable insights. Monitoring brand mentions and analyzing comments can provide invaluable intelligence.

7. Comment Cards and Feedback Boxes: When placed in physical locations, customer cards and feedback boxes empower customers to provide honest, anonymous feedback that they might not share face to face.

8. Email and Customer Support Interactions: Analyzing feedback from emails and support interactions often provides valuable insights into areas for improvement in an organization.

9. Net Promoter Score (NPS) Follow-ups: Post NP questions, asking why customers rated as they did. This can reveal detailed qualitative data that can identify strengths and improvement areas.

Integrating these different methods within a SaaS platform like Tone can considerably simplify the process.
