Timing is Everything when asking for reviews

What? You’re still not actively asking customers to leave you a review? Let me take a minute and ask you "why?". If the answer is that it’s all too hard, then you are correct. Building customer reviews is hard, takes effort and is 100% worth it.

Did you know, that the timing of your review request is one way to make reviews not only easier to get, but sincere and impactful.

That's why this July we're running the Timing is Everything Reviews Challenge.


The Power of Customer Reviews

Customer reviews have become an integral part of the modern consumer's decision-making process. Before purchasing a product or service, potential customers often seek out authentic feedback from others who have already experienced what the business offers. Positive reviews can instil trust and confidence, leading to increased sales and customer loyalty. Conversely, negative reviews, left without a reply and response, can have a detrimental impact on your brand's reputation. Therefore, businesses must actively seek and manage customer reviews to harness their potential.

The Art of Timing

While asking for reviews is essential, the timing of your request can significantly influence the response you receive. It's crucial to choose the right moment, one where you have delivered exceptional value and exceeded customer expectations. Timing your request after a positive experience ensures that customers are more likely to provide feedback that reflects their satisfaction.

If you’ve done a great job during the end of the financial year; when you've successfully addressed your customers' needs, provided prompt and efficient service, and demonstrated genuine care, they are more inclined to reciprocate by leaving positive reviews. Customers might just be waiting to be asked. By waiting until this opportune moment, you increase the chances of receiving reviews that are not only positive but also sincere and impactful.
