Abstract

The extensively debated Net Promoter Score (NPS) originated in consumer marketing to measure brand loyalty. It has become a ubiquitous method to assess user sentiment across many industries, products, and services.

NPS collected via email campaigns consistently produces lower scores than via in-app intercept method. Case Studies outlining these differences are discussed.
