They say your biggest fans are your current customers. If your clients, customers and/or members love what you do, they are going to tell others. But that doesn’t always happen unless you ask!
Your “raving fans” may only be 2% of your entire client base. Those are the clients who get out there and spread the word about what they love about you.
There are others on the ladder of loyalty. You have your advocates, your members and your shoppers (amongst others). These range from people who love your work but not necessarily tell others about to people who only transact with you once.
Regardless, one of your TOP Marketing Strategies should be getting reviews. People who look for you, look for what others have gained from you and their experience. And there is no better avenue than Google and Facebook. Collecting reviews on those two platforms is key to any businesses success.
We recently interviewed Doren Aldana on the Business Brain Food Podcast. He has been involved with several big corporations and has successful businesses himself.
Doren created a terrific tool that makes collecting reviews super easy to use – a Testimonial Engine.
This is a resource that has helped his clients receive reviews for their business with ease and it also allows Business Owners to filter bad reviews if they don’t want them to be seen.
Every business can benefit from this resource so listen to this interview on the Business Brain Food Podcast.
Doren has shared some great statistics with us during this interview, some of which are listed below:
- 73% of consumers believe that positive reviews make them trust who they are buying from more.
- 79% of customers trust online reviews as much as a personal recommendation from a friend or family member.
- Have a system to make it easy for people to leave reviews, i.e. allow them to do it without needing to create an account with yelp, google etc.
