SuggestionBox is an application that businesses, organizations and non-profits can use to gather feedback from the public. It is an easy and automated way for organizations to listen to their customers, understand how their customers feel, respond to their questions and concerns, and connect with them. SuggestionBox is also an accessible way for customers to connect with businesses as well. The beauty of the SuggestionBox application is that it strives to make sure that the connection between the customer and company is not broken. Oftentimes, customers can feel that their feedback evaporates into a void and no one addresses their concerns. SuggestionBox works to make customers feel like their opinion is being noticed and that the organization cares. This in turn makes the customer service management process easier and more effective for organizations. SuggestionBox also has collaboration tools built into its packages so companies can work with their base on improvements or issues. Also SuggestionBox makes it easy for companies to promote their personal SuggestionBox.com page through sub-domains, customization features and a growing community of "suggesters."

SuggestionBox seems different since it intends to help both the customers and the companies communication better with one another. Some applications simply focus on making customer service more manageable for the companies, and others are simply an outlet for customers to complain without intending for a true resolution.
