They play a big role in helping consumers choose products. They also help Amazon with closing sales. That\u2019s why Amazon sends reminders, encouraging customers to provide feedback, right down to the packaging used for shipping products.<\/p>\n<p>While hordes of positive reviews don\u2019t always mean you\u2019ll be completely thrilled with your purchase, they are good indicator of which products to buy. A lack of customer reviews typically tells shoppers one of two things.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The store doesn\u2019t sell enough to receive reviews.<\/li>\n<li>The business isn\u2019t confident enough to allow customers to review products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An abundance of positive reviews, mixed with little-to-no negative ones, raises red flags as well. Is the merchant moderating reviews and purposefully disapproving every negative one?<\/p>\n<p>Reviews matter. And every online store needs them. Customer reviews answer questions that are never considered in product descriptions, promotional videos, and features lists. The more in-depth the reviews are, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Reviews not only help instill confidence, but they answer the most-asked question about products that are priced competitively: Are they\u00a0cheaply made, or just less expensive?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89320\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89320\" class=\"size-large wp-image-89320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/amazon-ikross-570x337.jpg\" alt=\"Bluetooth keyboards for smartphones and tablets typically run $60 or more in local stores.

Seasoned shoppers don\u2019t just look at the rating of a product (i.e., the number of stars it has received). Reviews paint a more detailed picture.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a Hohner Blues Band harmonica on Amazon has 4.5 stars. The reviews, however, explain that while it\u2019s good for what it is, the item is a low-end instrument. In short, it\u2019s good for beginners, but it wouldn\u2019t be the best gift for a friend who plays in a real band.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89319\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89319\" class=\"wp-image-89319 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/amazon-bluesband-570x426.jpg\" alt=\"Reviews tell shoppers if a product is worth purchasing for their specific needs.

Such reviews help convert shoppers.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Getting Products Reviewed<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to get customers to review items they\u2019ve purchased is to reach out to them. Follow-up emails and reminders when they revisit the site are good ways to grab their attention. You can also offer points or bonuses if they take the time to submit an honest review. (Asking for a review in the order confirmation email is a waste, in my experience.)<\/p>\n<p>When asking customers to review products, make it easy. Include a simple form that collects only what is necessary, such as these items.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A headline for the review (if supported).<\/li>\n<li>Content for the review (don\u2019t limit the number of characters).<\/li>\n<li>First name plus last initial, or username.<\/li>\n<li>Number of stars (or related symbol).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ideally, customers should be able to upload photos or video, but not all systems support attaching media. If your shopping cart only provides the basics, there are many third-party services that can tie into existing ecommerce sites. Some will even handle the approval process for you.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of shopping carts, while it\u2019s typically easy to export products and categories from shopping carts, that\u2019s not always the case with product reviews. Should you ever want to change carts, make sure you can take customer product reviews with you. If your site doesn\u2019t currently collect reviews, take the time to make sure that data can be exported properly. And make sure the shopping cart you\u2019re moving to allows for their import. Or, you can opt to go with a hosted reviews service you can take with you.<\/p>\n<h3>Instilling Trust in the Review Process<\/h3>\n<p>It is important that shoppers see the reviews posted as honest. Approve negative reviews so long as they are written respectfully and don\u2019t include content visitors may find offensive. A negative review can also help sell products \u2014\u00a0some may point out features that are lacking, yet are not important to every customer.<\/p>\n<p>Other problems may be viewed as user error instead of product failure. It is seemingly impossible for a product to be so loved it receives only\u00a0five stars, from every review. Shoppers know this.<\/p>\n<p>It also helps to respond to reviews that leave questions unanswered. And sometimes an apology is in order. In other words, embrace opportunities to show visitors that you legitimately care and operate the business with integrity.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_89318\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89318\" class=\"wp-image-89318 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/amazon-bad-review-570x283.jpg\" alt=\"Merchants that take time to address legitimate complaints fare better.

Among the most common questions answered in reviews are full dimensions, color accuracy, battery life, and true sizing. That means reviews do more than just convert \u2013 they can actually help cut down on returns.<\/p>\n<h3>In Summary<\/h3>\n<p>No matter how small the store, real product reviews are valuable user content that can help convert more visitors into buyers.
