Review campaigns: what is it and how does it work?

Reviewcampagne | Ternair

Customer satisfaction is one of the most important factors in a company's success. One of the oldest marketing strategies still proves to be extremely effective today: word-of-mouth advertising, now in the form of online customer reviews. Nearly nine in 10 consumers report that positive customer reviews positively influence their purchase decision, and although consumers are often suspicious of advertisements, 70% trust online reviews from other customers. Reviews not only influence purchase decisions, but also provide opportunities to keep customers engaged and gain insight into their opinions about your products or services. You can use this feedback to improve your service and prevent customer loss. In this article, we discuss how to set up a successful review campaign and how to optimize it with Ternair.

What is a Review Campaign?

A review campaign is a structured marketing effort aimed at collecting customer feedback. This feedback can be in the form of ratings, reviews or surveys and is often collected after a purchase or use of a service. The goal of a review campaign is to gain valuable insights into customer satisfaction and to share positive experiences with a wider audience, which can lead to increased trust and higher conversion rates.

"Over 70% of consumers are more confident in a brand that displays positive customer reviews."

Why are Review Campaigns Important?

Review campaigns are important for several reasons, namely:

  • Building trust and credibility

    Reviews are a powerful tool for building trust with potential customers. Consumers tend to trust products and services that have positive reviews.

  • Improve online reputation

    Recviews often contain keywords relevant to your business. Search engines such as Google use these reviews to assess the relevance of your business, which can lead to better search results and more organic traffic.

  • Insight into customer satisfaction

    Reviews provide instant insight into what customers think of your products or services. This can help highlight strengths and address areas for improvement, which can improve your product offerings and customer service.

  • Increased Conversion

    Positive reviews can increase conversion because potential customers are more likely to make a purchase when they see that others are satisfied with their experience.

"Companies with lots of positive reviews often see a 20% increase in organic search traffic."

How do you set up a Review Campaign?

Setting up an effective review campaign involves a number of steps:

  • Determine your goals

    Before you begin, it's important to set clear goals. Do you want to measure customer satisfaction, attract new customers or improve your online reputation? Specific and measurable goals will help you evaluate the effectiveness of your campaign.

  • Select the right channels

    Determine where you want to collect your reviews. This can be on your own website, through social media, or on platforms such as Google Reviews or Trustpilot. Each channel has its own benefits and target audience.

  • Use marketing automation tools

    Use marketing automation tools to streamline the process. Tools like Ternair can help you send the right messages to the right customers at the right time. This increases the chance of response and ensures a structured approach.

  • Create an inviting call-to-action

    Make sure your customers can easily leave a review. This can be done by adding direct links in emails, a clearly visible review section on your website, or by using QR codes.

  • Monitor and respond to feedback

    Collecting reviews is only part of the process. Make sure you actively monitor and respond to the feedback you receive. This shows that you value your customers' opinions and are willing to make improvements.

Tips for an Effective Review Campaign

Here are some tips to make sure your review campaign is effective:

  • Timing is crucial

    Request a review at the right time. This could be after a successful purchase, a positive customer service interaction or after an event, for example. Choosing the right time increases the chances of a positive review.

  • Make the process simple

    The easier it is to leave a review, the more reviews you will receive. Avoid lengthy surveys and offer multiple options for providing feedback.

  • Reward your customers

    consider rewarding customers for their time and effort. This can come in the form of a small discount, a chance to win a prize or with loyalty points.

  • Personalize your requests

    Use personal information to make your review requests more relevant. A personalized approach feels less like a generic marketing message and more like a valuable request.

  • Be transparent

    Let customers see what you're doing with their feedback. Share the improvements you've made based on customer reviews. This encourages others to share their opinions.
