Why you should add customer reviews to your website (especially if you’re an ecommerce business)
We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again: most digital ads don’t pack the same punch as they used to.
With that in mind, there’s never been a better time to rethink how you can instil trust across not only your top funnel communications, but throughout the entire customer journey: from ads and retargeting campaigns, to email promotions, all the way down to your checkout page.
Over the years, we’ve learned that perceived trust matters quite a bit for success in ecommerce, with some early adopters of omni-channel social proof enjoying a 94% increase in CTR in the competitive space of non-branded search terms. On top of that, displaying customer reviews across your marketing touchpoints also helps to increase basket size, reduce abandonment, and boost onsite conversions.
When you make third-party validation part of your strategy on every channel, you boost customer confidence and demonstrate that your brand values customer feedback. What results is improved trust around everything having to do with your brand, and by extension, a higher likelihood that consumers will buy what you’re selling.
