Why Online Reviews?

In light of all of the events happening in 2020, it’s never been a more important time to figure out how to get your business online and make sure that you are controlling the thermostat of that online content. An article on Business Insider made this very valid point:

“Consumers’ sudden reliance on online shopping coupled with a decrease in people’s trust in advertising (83% don’t trust advertisements) means brands can't afford to not be in control of their reviews and those reviews’ value to marketing.”

Here are a few interesting statistics about online reviews in regards to retail spaces to give you a new perspective:
97% of buyers have reported that the customer reviews that they read will influence their purchasing decisions.
About 5%-10% of consumers will write reviews, which has been shown to influence around $400 billion of the total e-commerce sales revenue.
94% of consumers refuse to do business with a company because of the negative reviews that have been left.
75% of people online trust a business after they have seen a positive review.
Customer reviews can increase conversions by 270%.
