How to gather customer reviews
Before you can post customer reviews, you need to receive them. But how do you get customers to give you a glowing review, testimonial, or credit?
Step-by-step method
A few options are possible:
- Include a link to your customer satisfaction survey in purchase confirmation emails
- Create a Twitter account for support requests
- Contact repeat customers personally to get targeted feedback
- Send text messages to customers asking them to leave an online review
- Create Twitter polls and Facebook surveys to gather feedback from social media users.
- Include comment boxes on key pages on your website.
Remember that you may need to encourage past customers to give feedback. You can offer them a discount on their next purchase or give them a reward. Customers want to know what they stand to gain. Give them something in exchange for their time!
