You might think your product is solid, but there’s nothing quite like real-world feedback to reveal what’s working and what needs a second look. Early feedback isn’t just valuable—it’s crucial if you want your product to thrive. Let’s dive into why starting this process early can be a game-changer for your product’s success.

TODAY’S TIP

Get Feedback From Users

Getting feedback in the early stages lets you address issues before they snowball. Sure, testing internally helps catch some bugs, but real users will always spot things that might fly under your radar. And beyond finding problems, early users can give you insights into what features resonate most with them, sometimes in ways you hadn’t anticipated. Maybe they’re using your product in a way you didn’t expect, or maybe there’s a demand for something you hadn’t planned to include. This early insight can help you pivot or prioritize in ways that really matter.

But how do you get valuable feedback? Start by identifying a small group of ideal users who represent your target market. They don’t have to be many—a handful of engaged users will often provide more actionable feedback than a crowd. Give them the opportunity to test your product, and encourage open, honest feedback. And make it easy for them to share: set up surveys, create a dedicated email, or even hold brief interviews to dig into what they’re experiencing.

As you collect feedback, look for patterns. If one user mentions something, it might just be a personal preference. But if several people bring up the same issue or suggestion, that’s your cue to pay attention. Keep these early testers in the loop; let them know how you’re addressing their feedback. This builds loyalty and gives your early users a sense of ownership, which often translates into long-term support.

Feedback is the lifeblood of a product that truly meets user needs. Starting the feedback loop early gives you a head start in building something people love. So reach out, listen, iterate—and watch your product grow stronger with every round.
