Subject: Your Ratings & Reviews
Hey friend!|Hey Brand Manager!|Hey HR Leader!|Hey Business Owner!
It only takes a few clicks (or swipes of a thumb) for people to form an opinion about your business. And that translates to…
…gained or lost sales.
…gained or lost followers of your brand.
…gained or lost job applicants.
Whether it is reviews on Google and Yelp for local retail, Amazon and Walmart.com for products, or Glassdoor and Comparably for employers, online reviews matter. Stars precede dollars. Reviews are the currency of online success.
Your star rating and total number of reviews instantly shape perceptions and reinforce a purchase, or cost you a sale.
😈 Negative reviews can damage your business 📉

⚠️Sales can cut in half on Amazon when ratings drop from 4.3 to 4.2-stars (CITATION).
