Why Testimonials and Reviews Are Important for Business
It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in – testimonials are an indication of the quality of your products and services.
A whopping 84% of consumers trust online reviews, which provides them with first-hand knowledge about a brand. If your company has an onslaught of negative online reviews, then your business will suffer tremendously.
This is because the majority of online users are using Google to find info about a brand before doing business with them. About 82% of smartphone users consult with the web before making a purchase in-store.
But it’s not just in-store purchases online reviews affect. Eighty-eight percent of consumers conduct online searches before making a purchase from both online and physical stores.
By taking charge of your online reputation and displaying testimonials on your website, you can help convert more visitors into paying customers.
