Why Terrible Online Reviews Are Actually Good For You

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Everyone loves a compliment – especially marketers, who light up when people say great things about their brand or products.

But even the most beloved products attract disparaging comments. Customers might not understand how your product is supposed to work, or perhaps they had the wrong expectations based on your marketing copy – or maybe they just really don't like your products. But whatever the source, one thing is certain; if you open the door to customer conversations, you will attract the occasional one-star review. And you should be grateful when you do.

Beauty Marks

Thursday, September 1, 2011

One of Estée Lauder's favorite sayings was “Tell-a-phone, tell-a-graph, tell-a-woman,” based on her strong belief that once a woman tried and liked a product, she'd share it with friends. This conviction led Mrs. Lauder to pioneer the “free gift with purchase” tactic so popular in cosmetics marketing to this day. And it also shows she would have been a strong believer in the social media strategy her namesake corporation is employing today.

Rubbermaid trusts reviews

Thursday, September 1, 2011

Since 2008, Rubbermaid has been using social commerce service provider Bazaarvoice's Ratings & Reviews program, which allows customers to comment and post reviews of the company's products on its site, as well as syndication of the reviews to retailer sites like Walmart.com.


The company's marketing team decided that with the growing importance placed on these reviews of CPG products, Rubbermaid should incorporate the voice of the consumer into its traditional print advertising and offers as well.

Zapos, Zappoz, or Zappos: Why Typos Are Good For Your Brand

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Do customer reviews peppered with grammar mistakes and typos hurt your brand and dampen sales? Zappos – and a growing number of online brands – think so. Companies “clean up” customer reviews based on the rationale, supported by recent research, that well-written reviews, whether positive or negative, sell more products. The problem is that a New Yorker reader skimming reviews of a jazz CD has a very different view of “well-written” than a tween shopping for a cute Katy Perry tee. Both want the review to be authentic, informative and useful – but the tone and word choice couldn’t be more foreign to the other. By trying to impose a uniform standard on a very diverse audience, companies that “correct” customer reviews are making a big mistake.
