Get customers to write reviews of your business



Get customers to write reviews of your business

There is no better way for you to advertise your business than to have your customers doing it for you! Their opinions on whether you are doing a good job or not will automatically tell you if there is anything that you need to change your way of doing things. When potential customers are thinking about whether they are willing to trust you or not, they are probably not going to listen to your own opinion on how good your products or services are; they will look to other previous customers of yours, to see what they think. In fact, in a study that has just been released, we have discovered that almost ninety percent of American internet users will always read online reviews before they make any sort of buying decision.

That is a huge number of people, and you cannot afford to ostracise yourself to the vast majority of consumers by not having any good reviews for your company online – or even worse, by having bad reviews of your company online. Many people trust online reviews because they do not think that they have any sort of agenda, like companies themselves do. However, despite all of this attention on online reviews, fewer and fewer people are actually bothering to write them. This means that all of those people who are looking for positive reviews will not find them – and they may assume that because there aren't any, that's because your company is not very good.


That is why it is so vitally important that you encourage your happy and satisfied customers to leave you good online reviews. Many never bother to do it because they thank you over the phone or in an email, but it would make all the difference to your profit margins if they could put it actually online. If you would like more customers to leave you positive reviews and comments about their experience with your company, then all you have to do is ask! By putting at the end of order emails a link to where they could put a review, half of the work for your customers is already done, which will definitely encourage them to do it. You could also tweet about this, so that your Twitter followers know how easy and great it is to leave you a positive review.
