Allowing potential customers to see reviews can increase your conversion rate. But should you allow negative product reviews on your site and risk turning buyers away, or only allow positive reviews and risk appearing dishonest? It\u2019s a tricky question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever method you choose, you definitely need to have reviews on your website and product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-social-proof\"><strong>What Is Social Proof?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless src=\"https:\/\/share.transistor.fm\/e\/5f585ead\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/social-proof\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Social proof<\/a> is a psychological phenomenon that has been studied extensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It centers around the idea that the more people there are doing something, the more likely it is that others will do it as well. This is known as the &#8220;bandwagon effect.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social proof can be used to influence people&#8217;s decisions in a variety of situations, including product purchases, brand choices, and even political elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For ecommerce brands, social proof is a marketing method that involves others promoting your products or services in some manner. It is one of the most powerful tools of persuasion that sellers can employ on their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reviews: Positive reviews from customers can help to build trust and credibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testimonials: Testimonials from satisfied customers can be a powerful way to persuade potential customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social media mentions: When people mention your products or services on social media, it can help to create a buzz and attract new customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand ambassadors: Brand ambassadors are people who promote your products or services to their own social networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited-time offers: Limited-time offers can create a sense of urgency and scarcity, which can lead to more sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we are going to dive into one specific element of social proof: product reviews. But, keep in mind that for all tactics, the best way to use social proof is to be authentic and genuine. People can spot fake social proof a mile away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-are-ecommerce-product-reviews-so-important\"><strong>Why Are Ecommerce Product Reviews So Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every brand owner should know that there is nothing more valuable than a happy customer. Given the general level of distrust online, product reviews can be the first step to building trust and establishing a relationship with a potential buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As shoppers, we tend to consider reviews as more trustworthy than the copy written by the seller. After all, in most cases, the reviewers are giving their honest opinions about the product without any ulterior motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/online-review-statistics\/329701\/#close\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a 2023 survey from BrightLocal<\/a> found that <strong><em>49% of customers<\/em><\/strong> trust product reviews like they trust recommendations from their loved ones. In short, they have the power to make or break a sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fera.ai\/blog\/posts\/online-product-review-statistics-ecommerce-stores-need-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Another report<\/a> also noted that as the price of a product increases, the importance of reviews also increases. Specifically, \u201cwhen reviews were displayed for a lower-priced product, the conversion rate increased by 190%. However, for a higher-priced product, the conversion rate increased 380%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a huge impact that any ecommerce manager would be silly to turn their back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t enough to convince you of their importance, if an ecommerce store doesn\u2019t have product reviews, customers will go elsewhere to find them, such as Amazon or product review websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is bad news for any ecommerce store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When customers go elsewhere for reviews, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/5-ways-active-lifestyle-brands-are-losing-online-sales-and-how-to-win-them-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brand loses<\/a> control of how the product is portrayed, as well as surrounding details such as product specifications, key benefits, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also usually means that the consumer will purchase the product from the website where they found the reviews and had their questions answered instead of purchasing directly from your ecommerce store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom line: You need ecommerce product reviews.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this raises the critical question: How do you get your customers to write reviews?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-motivate-customers-to-write-product-reviews\"><strong>How to Motivate Customers to Write Product Reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want customers to write reviews, the first step is pretty obvious: ask them to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prime shoppers for reviews by letting your customers know three things immediately after the transaction is completed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You want them to be 100 percent satisfied with their purchases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If they aren\u2019t satisfied, you want to know so you can correct the problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once they are completely satisfied, you would appreciate an honest review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should have a system in place that automatically asks customers to review your products after they\u2019ve had them for a certain length of time. Obviously, you don\u2019t want to ask too early because they won\u2019t have had enough time to enjoy the benefits of the product. We often recommend asking for reviews as one step in a series of<a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/insights\/5-post-purchase-emails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> post-purchase emails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A review request email asks the customer to leave a review of the product or to rate the experience they had with you. To show your appreciation, you can offer them a gift or store credit. This will not only strengthen the trust and positive relationship, but it will also encourage them to come back for future transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This email from Hollister is a perfect example of a request review. They offer customers a chance to win $100 in store credit in exchange for the review and already included a CTA button that the customer has to click, making the process very enticing, straightforward, and clear for the customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"396\" height=\"512\"

Key<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to ecommerce product reviews, quality and credibility matter greatly. Well-written, thorough, thoughtful reviews will help the customer make an informed purchasing decision. On the flip side, short reviews that lack substance won\u2019t do much to motivate the customer to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">42% of people<\/a> are confident that they have encountered fake reviews. Therefore, the most effective reviews\u2014the ones that seem the most authentic\u2014tend to be balanced reviews. The customers are generally happy with the product without seeming as though it\u2019s the greatest thing they\u2019ve ever purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data seems to back this up. To quote the Spiegel Research Center: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIs five stars \u201ctoo good to be true\u201d in the eyes of consumers? According to our research, it is. Across product categories, we found that purchase likelihood typically peaks at ratings in the 4.0 \u2013 4.7 range, and then begins to decrease as ratings approach 5.0.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing whether or not to purchase, the average rating customers tend to expect is, <em>at least<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/online-review-statistics\/329701\/#close\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3.3 stars<\/a>. If you get a rating lower than this, the customer will probably consider a competitor instead. In other words, no one expects a product to be perfect, and if a product only has glowing, five-star ratings, customers will suspect that something is off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your goal is to secure in-depth reviews that go beyond \u201cFive stars \u2013 great product.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s one more thing to consider: Grammar and spelling actually matter a great deal when it comes to reviews. The quality of the review matters to customers making purchase decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One final reason to make every effort to secure good reviews is that it will help in your overall SEO efforts. User-generated content, such as reviews, are looked upon favorably by Google and can help you outrank your competitors in Google searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do everything in your power to secure well-written, in-depth, thoughtful reviews from your customers. Not only will they boost your conversion rate, but they\u2019ll also have a significant impact on your SEO efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more information on how you should go about leveraging product reviews on your site?

But what happens after? Here are three ways you can make use of product reviews and boost your conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-turn-product-reviews-into-a-useful-tool-for-customers\">1. Turn Product Reviews Into A Useful Tool For Customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of letting a review stop at a star rating, ask the shopper for useful information. For example: How did the product fit? And was it true to size? Then turn that data into a tool to help other customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a real example from one of our clients at The Good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ecommerce clothing brand was receiving customer reviews, but after user testing and research, our team hypothesized that adding fit based on customer reviews would give customers more confidence when purchasing a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we ran a test that added a size and fit scale based on customer ratings, and it was a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the lift in per session value, implementing the winning variant to all users would produce a lift in annualized revenue of over $276,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"product review winning test\" class=\"wp-image-105498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4-133x75.jpg 133w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2-4.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, using the reviews to help customers gain confidence in the size and fit of their purchase both improved the user experience and increased transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-feature-best-sellers-amp-elevate-reviews-to-the-homepage\">2. Feature Best Sellers &amp; Elevate Reviews To The Homepage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Product reviews can live across your site, not just on the product page. And sometimes, elevating best-selling items on the homepage helps narrow \u201cwindow shoppers\u201d narrow down the options and get a clearer path to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen this work well across clients, here is an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After seeing in research that users were presented with too many options on the homepage, we hypothesized that elevating reviews and best sellers would increase visibility of social proof, increasing users&#8217; likelihood to engage with content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"best-selling products winning test\" class=\"wp-image-105499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7-133x75.jpg 133w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3-7.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding best-selling products higher on the homepage allowed users to see ratings and the number of reviews on their top products and made them more likely to purchase. The result was over $200k in additional revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-include-reviews-throughout-your-site\">3. Include Reviews Throughout Your Site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another winning strategy for implementing product reviews on your ecommerce site is to build them into category pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen that social proof on category pages breaks up product tiles and gives more visibility into brand differentiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one client specifically, we hypothesized that showing content blocks with social proof and brand differentiators on filter (category) pages would improve users&#8217; likelihood to convert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"social proof winning test\" class=\"wp-image-105500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5-133x75.jpg 133w, https:\/\/thegood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4-5.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If implemented, the variant, which added content blocks in between tiles to elevate social proof and brand differentiators, would produce over $255,000 in annualized revenue gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just three of many winning strategies we\u2019ve found for clients. How you implement product reviews will depend on your customer, product, and brand. But hopefully, these examples can help inspire you to not just slap them on the product page and be done with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, consider how your customers would most like to see the reviews, and what would help them make a purchase decision (or drive them further down the funnel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-manage-negative-reviews\"><strong>How to Manage Negative Reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inevitably, you\u2019re going to get negative reviews from time to time; that\u2019s simply part of the ecommerce business. However, there\u2019s a growing need for transparency today. No business should seek negative reviews, but allowing the positive and the negative to co-exist on your site adds authenticity for your customers. It\u2019s how you handle those negative reviews that can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Learn from them. Criticism can be a valuable teacher. Assess and improve upon your product. Examine what customers are not satisfied with, and how you can start to improve on that. Negative reviews, believe it or not, can actually end up benefiting your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Approve the bad reviews. Yes, it might be tempting to delete them, but don\u2019t. The reality is that if you only have positive reviews on your site, you lose credibility with customers. Nothing is perfect, and customers won\u2019t believe that you or your products are. If they don\u2019t see a single negative review, they\u2019ll become skeptical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> It\u2019s important to only approve negative reviews from verified buyers. If you don\u2019t have a system for verifying reviewers, what\u2019s stopping your competition from going on your site and leaving a series of negative reviews?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong> Respond appropriately to negative reviews. This doesn\u2019t mean that you have to offer a full refund in every case. It simply means that you need to express real interest in the problem and put a good-faith effort into fixing it. You want to show customers that you genuinely do stand behind your products and take problems seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Respond with gratitude to positive reviews. If a customer takes the time and effort to leave you a positive review, you should take the time to acknowledge it and express your appreciation. If someone said to you in person, \u201cI love your products and tell everyone about them,\u201d wouldn\u2019t you thank that person? Treat your online customers in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-product-reviews-are-essential\"><strong>Product Reviews Are Essential<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In an age of abundant choices, product reviews are more essential now than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They function as social proof, demonstrating that your products are trustworthy and likely worth purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They improve the overall user experience on your website, boost your conversion rate, and aid your SEO efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t know where to start with collecting
