Tips On Enticing Customers To Write Reviews



Positive reviews can make or break your business, and in today's world reviews play an even bigger role for your potential customer base.  Lizzio Development Group reviews are positive and abundant, but some other businesses aren't as lucky.  A lack of reviews for your business can make it almost invisible in the eyes of the public, so you need to try to get the customers that you already have to share their opinions.  If you want to get more reviews for your business, try following these tips.

Ask a happy customer

Do you have a repeat customer that always sings your business' praises?  Did you recently help a customer with a problem that had been troubling them?  Happy customers are the exact kind of people you want writing your reviews, and when you have someone who is happy with your products and services you should encourage them to write the review. You don't have to make them any lofty promises or go with a gimmick, simply tell them that you're happy that you could help them and that a positive review would be appreciated. 

Use social media

If your company has an account with Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or another social media site you could be using your account to help get good reviews.  Plan to do a free giveaway in exchange for positive reviews.  A simple status that says something along the lines of "Leave us a review, once we get 10 reviews we'll be giving away something for free" can be enough to entice people to write a review.  It doesn't have to be something expensive, a free t-shirt or a gift card can be enough to attract people.

Incorporate review requests into communications

Sometimes all people need to get motivated to write a review is a friendly reminder.  If your customers are part of an e-mail newsletter, put a few sentences at the bottom of each email you send that kindly asks customers for reviews.  Put a few links on your website that direct them to a contact us form so your customers can easily submit a review.  A gentle reminder that you need and appreciate reviews can be all you need to get them.
