Vikan’s Global Customer Satisfaction Survey Shows Growth and Opportunities
Dear valued customers,
New health and safety considerations, accelerated digitisation, technological advances, and new ways of working—the pandemic created many challenges over the last couple of years. With customer service being a top priority at Vikan, we felt it was important to measure our customers’ level of satisfaction with our service and products as the world adapts to these changes.
Our main survey objectives
We greatly value the hundreds of conversations we have with our customers every week, and we appreciate your feedback. However, it is also important to collect objective data through a survey so we can:
- Improve our products
- Increase support where needed
- Learn how we can do better
- Collaborate on new solutions
- Provide you with our signature best-in-class customer service.
I’m thankful to those who took the time to fill out the survey, and I’m delighted to share with you the 2022 scores—our highest customer satisfaction ratings ever.
A survey designed on values
The survey was conducted by email in late April. We polled distributors as well as end-users to get a full overview of the opinions of those who use or distribute our products across the different markets we sell in.
At Vikan, we truly stand by and cherish our company values, so we built the survey to reflect them to get the best measure of how we’re stacking up to our own ideals.
- Customer service and sales support
- Quality and innovation
- Availability of Vikan products
- Hygiene expertise and thought leadership
- Business relationships
For each question, participants were asked to indicate how much, on a scale of 1 to 10, they agreed with a given statement, with 10 being the best score.
For each completed questionnaire, we have donated 1€ to the International Association for Food Protection Foundation (IAFP). The IAFP acts on food safety challenges, contributing to maintaining public health.
Results show we’re stronger than ever, with room to grow
Our survey used a common tool, the Customer Loyalty Index, to convert results into a score that helps us evaluate customer satisfaction over a set period of time. We’re delighted to report very high scores that improved even over pre-pandemic years.
Among Vikan distributors and end-users, we scored an outstanding 81 and 78, respectively. On the Loyalty Index benchmark, scores above 75 are considered “Great.â€
Â
While we appreciate the high ratings and positive feedback we received, we also want to focus on areas where we can grow. We are already hard at work analysing the root causes of areas customers identified that need improvement.
We will:
- Develop more hygiene-specific products
- Increase access to regulatory and other similar documents
- Increase output of and access to expert hygiene information
- Continue to make sustainability a priority
As a gesture of appreciation, we set up a lottery for two generation 9 Apple iPads for those who filled out the survey. Two lucky respondents were chosen by the system and received their prizes. Congratulations to the winners! In addition, we also donated 1,000€ to IAFP.
We would like to thank each and every one of you for taking our customer survey. We will honor the time you spent on it by using your feedback to help us improve.
Best Regards,
Carsten Bo Petersen
Group Managing Director

Material: Ceramic bird feeders are made from clay that is kiln-fired to create a durable and weather-resistant container. Ceramic is an excellent choice for bird feeders because it is sturdy, easy to clean, and provides insulation to keep bird food dry and fresh.
Design: Ceramic bird feeders come in a variety of designs, ranging from simple and traditional to elaborate and decorative. They may feature whimsical shapes like animals, flowers, or geometric patterns, adding charm and personality to your garden. Some feeders are hand-painted with vibrant colors and intricate details to enhance their visual appeal.
Construction: The construction of a ceramic bird feeder typically consists of a main feeding chamber or tray where birdseed is placed, surrounded by perches or platforms for birds to land and feed. The feeder may have multiple feeding ports or openings to accommodate several birds at once.
Size: Ceramic bird feeders come in different sizes to accommodate various bird species and feeding preferences. Some feeders are compact and designed for small birds like finches or chickadees, while others are larger and can accommodate larger birds like cardinals or blue jays.
Hanging or Mounting: Ceramic bird feeders can be hung from trees, hooks, or bird feeder poles using built-in loops or chains. Some feeders come with mounting brackets or stakes for secure installation in the ground or on a flat surface like a deck or patio.
Easy to Clean: Ceramic bird feeders are easy to clean and maintain, requiring only occasional rinsing with water and mild soap to remove dirt, debris, and bird droppings. It's essential to clean the feeder regularly to prevent the buildup of mold or bacteria that can harm birds.
Weather Resistance: Ceramic bird feeders are generally weather-resistant and can withstand exposure to sunlight, rain, and freezing temperatures without cracking or fading. However, it's a good idea to bring the feeder indoors during extreme weather conditions to prolong its lifespan.
Attractiveness to Birds: The design and placement of a ceramic bird feeder can influence its attractiveness to birds. Placing the feeder in a quiet, sheltered area with nearby vegetation for cover can help attract a variety of bird species. Additionally, using high-quality birdseed or offering a variety of food options can entice birds to visit the feeder regularly.
Overall, a ceramic bird feeder is a charming and practical addition to any garden or outdoor space, providing a welcoming environment for birds while adding beauty and interest to your landscape.
