In this 2025 Toy Forum presentation, Stefan Kolle, co‑founder of FutureLab, explains how companies can systematically capture the Voice of the Customer (VoC) for their smallest users – children and their parents. He distinguishes VoC from traditional market research, emphasizing that VoC is an ongoing improvement process that uses existing customers’ feedback to drive loyalty and revenue. Kolle outlines the unique challenges of gathering insights from children (different perception, strict data‑privacy rules) and presents a suite of low‑friction, multimodal collection channels: voice messages, short videos, QR‑code prompts on packaging, in‑app prompts, in‑game NPC dialogs, messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram), and contact‑center recordings. He shows how AI can turn these raw audio/video inputs into structured data via transcription, sentiment and emotion detection, and real‑time alerts, enabling automated “closing the loop” with customers. Practical examples include an IKEA voice‑booth, QR‑code‑driven video feedback, and NPC‑driven game surveys. Kolle also discusses legal frameworks (EU GDPR, GDPR‑K for children, US COPPA, AI‑EU‑Act) and how to stay compliant while leveraging AI. He critiques the widespread misuse of Net Promoter Score (NPS), argues for a 100 % loop‑closure rate, and demonstrates how AI can automate follow‑up conversations at cents per response. The talk concludes with a call to download FutureLab’s whitepaper and adopt a cost‑effective VoC program that turns enthusiastic customers into high‑value promoters.
