Have you ever bought something on Amazon that had a 1-star rating – or no ratings at all? Me neither. Have you ever bought something on Amazon that you liked, but did not review it? Guilty as charged! Customer reviews can be critical to product success, especially when it comes to the first 10. But collecting them can be difficult. In this episode of The Commerce Marketer Podcast, I am joined by the CMO of Sellerlabs, Jeff Cohen. We are going to talk about strategies for collecting those first 50 ever-elusive Amazon product reviews. We’ll discuss under-utilized tactics, ways to add value for your customers, the Early Reviewer Program, what’s going to get you into trouble on Amazon, and more. You’ll hear about: • Why your first ten reviews are so critical to success. • What you can and cannot do when asking for reviews. • Amazon’s Early Reviewer Program: Is it worth it? • Under-utilized tactics that go into collecting product reviews. • Brand versus reputation and how it impacts product sales. • How your product category can determine your review strategy. • How to add a personal touch with customer messaging. • Ways to use your product listing to help encourage reviews.
