Review best practices

Prevent. Is there an issue that you've been meaning to address? Don't delay as most negative's can be easily avoided, whether it be improving your delivery options, updating your product details or updating your contact details.

Respond. No matter how hard you try, you will not please everyone, Sorry. Now we've got over that, most Review services will allow you to respond - this will help in two ways. Firstly to show that you care about addressing the situation to not only the customer, but other prospects looking through your reviews. Also it will help you keep on top of which reviews have been acknowledged and worked on, making sure you'd don't slip behind.  

React. The feedback is in, mostly good, some bad. Either way react - is there a product that's not living up to expectations? Feed it back - use the reviews to improve on where things have gone wrong. When things go right, for example a customer service has gone above and beyond, highlight it in story, on a blog, anywhere visible. Either way make use of this customer data.

Ways to convert your Reviews to sales

Already got reviews you'd like to showcase, what next?

Use them to your advantage. Use them to across your business to attract new customers and reaffirm old ones that they can purchase from you with confidence.

Social Proof. Show prospects the fruits of you labour by showing off your reviews in stories, emails and Ads, ultimately conversion rates. Trustpilot have a case study confirming this on their website, where SendCloud have seen an uplift since updating their ads with Trustpilot Logos, reviews and scores.
