How to Use Online Customer Reviews & Ratings to Grow Your Business January 28, 2009

This is one of the most simple and power social media tools that you can deploy on behalf of your business...the use of online customer reviews and ratings. Companies like Amazon use it as a gold standard. Other brands such as Rubbermaid, Sharpie and Graco see it as their starting place for all social media. Why? Because it doesn't cost a thing, yet provides a megaphone effect on word-of-mouth purchase influence directly onto their products and services. It can also provide high rankings in the search engine results, building credibility and closing more sales.

Do you have fans of your business? Can I find what they have to say 24/7? Using third party review sites is a social media "must have" for creating brand reputations that attract the right prospects and convert more sales. Learn the best way to use review sites like Yelp or City Search.

Want to get ranked in Google? Want to gain third party credibility behind your business? We will provide practical advice on how to create and use customer reviews and rating sites to increase your business. Word-of-mouth has always been the largest influence on purchase decisions, and most companies do nothing to extend that potential beyond traditional testimonials.

In this workshop, we will provide practical advice, screen shots, and step-by-step instructions for how to get on and use the top review and rating sites as marketing and closing tools for your business. And it is important to note that this event is appropriate for any business, whether you are B2B, B2C, a professional service, straight retail, highly localized or sell on a national basis.

No charge.
