Approximately 76% of people trust online review sites to validate their purchases. With
that high of a percentage business owners are begging for positive reviews about their
product or service, but lack the social media and marketing power to make that happen.
So how do you get these positive reviews that you’re business needs?!
Sadly there’s no magic formula to pull positive reviews out of a hat, but here are some helpful resources
that can drastically increase your businesses chances for receiving positive reviews:
1. Incentives – Offering an online discount or purchasing incentives not only improve your chances
of making that potential client a customer; it sets you apart from the competition increasing the
odds of a returning customer and positive reviews!
2. Review Follow Up – Staying in touch with previous customers is a great way to keep them
coming back and spreading the word of your business to others. Check back in on your reviews,
comment back to your customers, and see the magic for yourself!
3. User Friendly – Making your review sites easy to use and simple to navigate greatly increases
your chances for reviews. Customers that experience a tough time trying to leave a review tend
to get discouraged and could hurt your chances of good feedback!
4. Social Media – Using popular resources like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, are great ways to
broadcast your business to potential/past consumers and entice them to visit your business!
5. Ask – It never hurts to reach out past clients and ask them if they enjoyed the experience to visit
your review sites to leave a positive review.
