Mothercare saves up to £100K a year by choosing Snap Online
The UK’s largest mother & baby retailer Mothercare, pride themselves on having a unique understanding of their market sector. As an international and respected brand with over 45 years experience, they constantly work with experts to ensure they offer the latest innovations and product developments. To increase their knowledge and to gain more in-depth customer insight they are recruiting a panel of their past and existing customers. Snap’s NEW online survey management and analysis tool – Snap Online, was recently chosen to survey this expanding panel of parents. This decision has already saved the company £5–10K per survey project, resulting in a total saving of between £60–100K a year on outsourcing costs.

A fresh new-look for Snap Training in the UK
As from July, you'll be able to check out our great new UK-based training courses with a new, easy to follow, Level structure that matches your knowledge of Snap to the course you attend.
As a company, we listen to our customers and try to incorporate the feedback we receive into our product development and services. To reflect this, our UK-based training courses will be structured into three levels – Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. This new format has been designed to make it easier for you to assess which course is most suitable for your level of Snap experience, for example, to attend a Level 2 training course, you must first have completed a Level 1 training course.

The NEW Mobile Surveys course will include how to set up, publish and design surveys using mobile interviewing platforms such as tablets, PDAs and kiosks.
