Still the best way is ask them personally whats up, why they use or don’t use your product I regularly get smth like - i opened, didn’t get how X works, closed and never use again And until I ask to show me what they try to do with the product I often get no idea what the problem is

One effective way to gather valuable feedback for a new product is by hosting virtual focus groups with potential users. This involves bringing together a small group of individuals to engage in a live discussion about the product, allowing for immediate feedback and insights. By creating a collaborative and interactive environment, you can capture authentic reactions and ideas that may not surface through traditional feedback channels. This approach not only fosters a sense of community among participants but also provides a platform for open and unfiltered communication. We are building a marketing AI called Contentify AI. It's free and easy to setup. Check it out on my profile.

@solyou I haven't given this method enough credit. It's also great as it allows all stakeholders to get a point of view that they made not have thought of.

Hey @leopaz8 The best ways to gather user feedback for a new product are: Surveys: Ask users questions about their experience with your product. Interviews: Talk one-on-one with users to get detailed thoughts. Focus groups: Bring a small group of users together to discuss the product. User testing: Watch people try out your product and note their reactions. Analytics: Look at data on how people use your product. Social media: Check what people are saying about your product online. Customer support: Pay attention to the problems users report. Reviews: Read what users write about your product on websites or app stores. Feedback forms: Give users an easy way to share their thoughts on your website or app. Beta testing: Let a small group try your product before it's fully released.

Analytics are key but don't forget about good old user testing! Get real people using your product and observe their behavior, ask for their honest feedback. Combine quant data from analytics with qual insights from user sessions. Also, quick in-app surveys can help gather targeted feedback from users in the moment.

If it's user analytics, I can also very much recommend Posthog. It's very powerful and affordable too. For user feedback, as in what users think about your product, I think Product Hunt is a good platform for that. You can launch here and see what the PH community thinks about your product. All the best!
