Why Use Reviews: Use Cases & Benefits
Reviews and testimonials that users share online are an exceptionally valuable form of user-generated content. When placed strategically, they can increase appeal to more customers at different stages of the digital sales funnel. They can increase lead generation and conversions. They can make an enormous dent in your appeal to get consumers to trust you, which is the first step towards building a loyal community and brand ambassadors.
While it’s hugely beneficial to place reviews in general on your site, it’s incredibly powerful to be able to source all your reviews from a large number of sites and share them in one place. You don’t have to depend on users visiting Yelp and Google and Facebook in order to see your best reviews; you can broadcast them on your site or in your store live.
Featuring live, dynamic reviews in-store can directly impact your sales and client rapport– especially when the reviews are specific to your location.
When we say live, we mean it. Reviews are sourced continually, allowing for new reviews to be uploaded in real-time, creating dynamic customer testimonials that you can feature in a number of ways. Positive reviews on specific mediums now have much larger reaches, creating additional marketing touch points that can be used in your favor.
All reviews and testimonials are additional content sources that can be added to your TINT displays to craft the narrative you’re looking to tell. Examples of use cases include:
- Featuring reviews and testimonials of your brand, quality, and customer service on the homepage of your site
- Placing relevant reviews on specific product pages
- Placing relevant reviews near specific products on live displays in your store
Since many reviews are specific to location, you can use the reviews pulled to appeal to local consumers, showing them that while the brand is great, your specific store is excelling in customer service, too. This can help individual locations shine and increase traffic.
Ultimately, reviews will provide written, direct affirmation detailing exactly why customers love your brand. These can have a bigger impact than a quickly-posted Tweet or a UGC image shared on Instagram of your product; they’re telling other consumers why your brand and your product are so great, and that value can’t be overstated.
