We regularly review our customers’ satisfaction with our services, range, and production. Our blog post offers a glimpse into the results of our latest customer satisfaction survey.
Once again, the Kuusamo Log Houses Experiences survey provided us with valuable information about our customers and their experiences. The mindset of our company is based on the desire to develop our operations, services, and range into an even better entirety. This cannot be done without the most important element – you, our dear customers!
Because of this, we once again conducted an extensive customer satisfaction survey, the results of which came in this spring. The Kuusamo Hirsitalot Experiences customer satisfaction survey focused on our customers in Finland in 2018-2020; the survey is a follow-up to the respective survey in 2018.
At our request, the customer satisfaction survey was conducted by the consulting and research company Innolink using e-mail questionnaires and telephone interviews in spring 2021. The number of responses was impressive – 535.

The primary source of information on Kuusamo Log Houses
In this regard, the Internet, general recognition, recommendations, and various events were emphasized.
In keeping with modern trends, information about us was primarily searched for on the Internet. It should be noted that a significant share of the respondents knew us from before or had learned about us from recommendations of a friend/acquaintance. These three options were clearly emphasized in the responses. Fairs and other events constituted the fourth most popular way for finding information about Kuusamo Log Houses.
What three factors influenced the choice the most (choose three most important options)
As regards the “three factors influencing the choice the most”, it can be said that our strength consists in expert salespersons. The expertise is evident especially in understanding of the special features of log construction. Expertise comes through experience. The majority of log houses used as holiday homes are modified and designed by us to meet the individual needs, which means that experience plays an important role in making of the choices in the early stages of the project. The choices made during the sales process and good design also have a significant impact on the price of the log building.
Modifiability of the building, log quality, and the general fluency of co-operation played an important role in the responses.
- Price (47 %)
- Seller’s expertise (36 %)
- General fluency of co-operation (34 %)
- Modifiability of the building (34 %)
- Log quality (33 %)
- Versatile range (22 %)
In the respondent’s opinion, what is the best thing about the building they acquired?
We asked our respondents to tell in their own words the best thing about the log building they had acquired. In addition to quality, the log material, model, modifiability, individuality, and the whole complex were emphasized in the responses. Below are examples of the responses.
