In today’s digital age, customer reviews are the new word-of-mouth. Think about it: before you try a new restaurant or service, you probably check online reviews, right? You’re not alone. According to Gartner, a whopping 78% of buyers do the same thing. Online reviews hold immense power, swaying purchasing decisions and shaping brand perception. So, how can you leverage this power to your advantage? Enter the magic of Online Reputation Management (ORM).
The Review Reality Check
Let’s face it, negative reviews happen. A disgruntled customer, a misunderstanding, or even a temporary service hiccup can all lead to less-than-stellar feedback. The good news? It’s not a business death sentence. The impact of those reviews, however, depends on how you handle them. Here’s a dose of reality:
- 67% of consumers won’t buy from a business with just 1-3 bad reviews. Ouch! That means neglecting your online reputation can cost you dearly.
- 80% of consumers change their mind because of negative reviews. One bad review can snowball into a wave of lost sales.
- On the flip side, 75% of consumers trust a company more with positive reviews. Positive reviews build trust and credibility, making you the go-to choice.
