We live in a time where every persons opinions can be seen by millions in an instant; artists and children go viral for their skills, stores will instantly sell out of a product a celebrity was posted wearing, and business can be made or torn apart by online reviews. Now, potential customers will check for online reviews before choosing a company and 88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. It is likely that the majority of new customers a business receives will have searched for reviews beforehand.
There are two types of customers who leave online reviews. There are those who thought the service was spectacular and want to leave a good not for the company, and there are those who are unhappy about the service provided and want to warn others of it and have their voices heard. All too often it is the negative reviews that stand out amongst all the rest, and a mistake the owner may not have even known about can damage the reputation on the company. Luckily, the amount of happy customers a business has usually outweighs the unhappy ones. The trick is to make it easy and rewarding for a customer to leave a positive review.
