Getting reviews on Amazon is a very hectic thing to do. You do so much work, from creating your own business online and the customers rarely ever leave any reviews. It’s an unfortunate event. You must wonder why this happens. Here are three reasons why –
- They Forget
Customers can be very forgetful, and it is not on purpose. It is not an excuse and it does not mean that your customer didn’t like your product. They genuinely forgot to leave a good review. Now if you put yourself into the customer’s shoes – you buy a new product and absolutely love it! Is the first thing that will pop into your head being to give it a good review? You might want your family and friends about it, but that’s it.
The best way to generate reviews is by sending them emails and contacting the customers to gain reviews. This will remind them to put in a good word after their fabulous experience. The customers won’t feel bad, in fact, they will be happy to hear from you as long as your emails are meaningful and you don’t spam.
If someone has a bad experience with your product, the first thing they will do is to review it on your listing page. This can be very bad for your sales. So this is where your emails help. The customers can review them personally and get their problems solved and it helps in avoiding negative feedback.
If you are active on all your social media profiles, which can also ensure that your customers don’t forget to reply. There are high chances that your customer will see your post and remember that he needs to give a review.
- They don’t know how to review
Some people who use the internet and Amazon on a daily basis, it is very difficult to process the fact that some people cannot use the internet as properly as we do. This means that some people who purchase your product do not have the knowledge of how to leave a response and where to, even if they really want to. So, it is always better to make things as easy as possible.
Since it is your website, your product and your review, you need to make sure that everything is easily accessible. So, when you send an email to people and tell them to leave a review, add a direct link to where they can leave the feedback. This becomes easier and wastes no time. And, that way you can let the customers remain at ease as compared to when you make them find the place to review your product and not be able to find it, hence dropping the entire decision altogether. It’s better to remain on the safer side.
Social media can play a big role in generating good responses. Many people use social media and if you remain active there, it can be of great help to your business and lead to good reviews on Amazon.
- They don’t have time
This is one of the biggest problems that affect everyone. In such a speedy generation, people barely have time for themselves, forget having time to click on a website and give a review. And if someone buys something online, it is obvious that they don’t have the time to go to shops and purchase the product themselves.
What you can do is set up an email campaign which it is straight to the point and simple. Don’t add huge amounts of texts as it bores users. They see large sentences and think, “nope, gotta put the phone down.” This is not a good response. Use a punch line which reassures your customer that it won’t be time-consuming to leave a response. That way, they know that it won’t take more than two minutes to leave a good feedback on your product.
Conclusion
These were the three main reasons why people don’t send their reviews and responses to your products. But, if you follow this procedure, it will become easier to get reviews and hence, it will also help you in increasing the sales of your products.
