The importance of reviews on an e-commerce site

By Mauro Fedele
The importance of reviews on an e-commerce site

In Italy, 60% of Italian consumers read online reviews before making a purchase (source: E-commerce Consumer Behaviour Report). Therefore, this tool represents an important marketing lever that requires careful management by merchants, as the opinions of other consumers, their advice, and their ratings are now a fundamental driver for purchasing decisions.

Without an invitation from the merchant, customers tend to write a review only in cases of very positive or very negative experiences.
It becomes important instead to encourage customers to write their comments about their experience with the company and the products purchased, because even responding to a negative review can be a plus, an example of the company’s seriousness.

However, a potential customer arriving on your site might doubt that so many positive reviews are truly real and reliable. Relying on a Certified Review Aggregator provides an additional guarantee, an important opportunity to increase sales and offer customers a fully trusted shopping experience.
For this reason, the Open2b e-commerce platform allows integration with the certified review system Feedaty.

Feedaty helps more than 1,500 companies every day to enhance their online reputation through the collection, certification, and publication of customer feedback.

  3. SEM campaign optimization (stars in Google AdWords/Shopping ads): certified reviews automatically feed stars into AdWords and Shopping ads, attracting users with an immediate savings on cost per click.
  4. Better customer relationship management. Feedaty offers the ability to manage negative feedback with a dedicated mediation path to find the best solution.
