The Single Tactic that Can Boost Your Sales by 58% or More!

If you want to sell more products online, and you’ve done everything right in making sure that your website is a secure, professional place to do business, consider adding this feature.  You could boost your sales by 58% or more!What do today’s hottest online retailers have that your site doesn’t? 

“A HUGE customer base!” You might answer.  But how do you think they got all those customers in the first place? 

One answer:  Reviews.

People subconsciously want to know what others think - especially before making a big purchase.  We often read reviews from others as a way to either validate our decision or inform us on another, alternative choice. 

Adding product reviews to your website - whether you’re selling a real, tangible product, or an online service, is also a great way to build community and encourage interaction with your web site visitors. 

Customers who read, and leave, reviews tend to buy more - and are more loyal to your business. And isn’t that what every online business owner wants?

But how do you make sure that the reviews are real, honest and appropriate? 

Here are three ways to ensure your site doesn’t get overtaken with junk posts while making sure real comments are heard and used.

1. Make Customers Register and Login to Leave a Review - Generally, people posting spam or smut won’t bother to register.  This ensures that you weed out the imposters while building your referral list.

2. Use Those Reviews - In your brochures, marketing material, anywhere you can.  Great reviews are a testament to your products or services, so share them with the world!

3. Encourage Participation - At first, you may notice that people aren’t leaving many reviews or participation is slim at best.  Offer discounts or free samples to reviewers to encourage them to participate. 

Even if someone leaves a less-than-favorable review, you should probably leave it - as long as it’s honest.  Many companies have discovered product flaws or service gaps that they otherwise wouldn’t have known about were it not for the disheartened customer that took the time to vent!

So how do you add reviews to your own site?  Through a professional web development company - of course!  If you’re interested in adding a review feature to boost your sales, why not get a free quote now and tell us what you have in mind?  It’s free!
