freundliches Feedback
I don't know what to do about freundliches Feedback. Is it positive feedback (if so, I need another word for positive Resonanz) or was it "freundlich" of the participants to send in their comments, or has it a specific meaning in marketing? I found this example http://www.unternehmerinnen-blog.net/2008/07/viele-freundlic... But as I am unfamiliar with what is actually meant, I am asking the KudoZ experts for their help.

Proposed translations
positive feedback; response encouraging
We have taken your comments to heart and are pleased that the response has been so encouraging.
"positive feedback" and "encouraging response" are both such strong idioms in English that they are hard to get around without sounding awkward or forced.

kind feedback
| Thank you, polyglot. This is probably the nearest in meaning,but surely the feedback itself can be neither "freundlich", nor "kind", only the people who take the trouble to give it? But then, marketing speak has its own logic... |
