MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--()--Mint.com users have a new, easier way to talk to each other – and to the company’s product team. Mint.com, a leading online personal finance service from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), now incorporates a new Get Satisfaction customer community as part of its award-winning product. Get Satisfaction lets Mint.com users obtain answers, share ideas, and connect with each other and with the Mint.com product team -- all without leaving their account.
“We’ve already received more than 50,000 suggestions from users since launching Mint.com. That's a staggering amount of community participation”
“Customer feedback helps improve Mint.com,” said Aaron Forth, product director of Intuit’s personal finance group. "Get Satisfaction is the next step in customer relations and support. It encourages customers to provide open and transparent feedback, and we’re eager to see how they respond, especially as we welcome Quicken Online and TurboTax users and others following the recent Intuit acquisition."
With the Mint.com user base approaching 2 million people, Forth said it’s crucial to establish a seamless platform for dialogue. Get Satisfaction’s open API enabled the Mint.com product and customer service teams to create a custom solution within the product. As a result, customers avoid time-consuming, one-on-one e-mail support and get help in a friendly online forum, both from employees and from other customers.
"We’ve already received more than 50,000 suggestions from users since launching Mint.com. That's a staggering amount of community participation," said Forth. "We expect Get Satisfaction to help our community become even more engaged. It’s built specifically to encourage the kind of participation we want as we grow."
Customer feedback has been essential to Mint.com’s unprecedented growth in the financial software space. Frequent product upgrades and dedication to user-experience-driven design principles help people save and do more with their money. By responding directly to customer needs, Mint.com has created a product so effective that more than 90 percent of users say they have changed their financial habits as a result of using the service.
“Mint.com's integration with Get Satisfaction is a natural fit,” said Thor Muller, chief technology officer at Get Satisfaction. “We’re both committed to creating friendly and compelling online user experiences and we're delighted to be able to provide Mint.com with a way to scale up and serve their customers with a tight integration of Get Satisfaction.”
