5 Tips for Preventing Bad Reviews
Provide Great Service
The first step is simply to ensure your customers receive exceptional service throughout their purchase journey. If your customers are pleased with the experience you’ve created, they’re more likely to leave a positive review.
Online Reputation
Reviews on Facebook, Google, or other sites specializing in customer reviews are necessary to monitor and interact with. A good social listening program automates this and can alert you to problem posts.
Ask for Feedback
The first step is simply to ensure your customers receive exceptional service throughout their purchase journey. If your customers are pleased with the experience you’ve created for you, they’re more likely to leave a positive review.
Ask for a Review
Beyond just checking in with the customer on their experience, ask them to leave you a review. It’s nice to offer an incentive, but just asking often nets positive results, and positive reviews can help offset negative ones.
Address Bad Reviews Publicly
If your social listening does uncover a negative review online, post a reply that apologizes for the experience, indicates it’s not up to your standards, and then take the conversation offline by inviting a direct discussion.
