While social media is critical for purchase inspiration, consumers increasingly trust and rely on reviews and recommendations when deciding what to buy. But, it’s not just star ratings – product photos, videos, and other forms of social proof paired with written reviews are driving purchase intent and enabling customers to evaluate personalized experiences about a product, its features, and expected performance.

Yet, with only a small percentage of marketers including ratings and reviews as a part of their overall influencer marketing strategy, there’s a massive opportunity for incremental value and success.

  • 90% of consumers have been influenced by an online review by the time they reach the point of purchase.
  • 43% of consumers noted that an influencer’s rating or review is more credible than a non-influencer generated review.
  • 85% of influencers would share a rating and/or review after creating content.
  • 70% of influencers would not charge more for a rating or review after creating content.

 

By prompting influencers, who have just shared their product experiences on their own channels, to submit a product review as well, marketers can improve efficiencies and better integrate social proof at every touchpoint of their consumer experience. Mavrck customers have seen, on average, a 4.7 – 4.8 star rating and a 34% projected sales lift per product by incorporating ratings and reviews as part of their influencer marketing strategies.

The quality and quantity of your product reviews have equal power to increase sales. From trend-setting sneakers to toilet paper, our platform and best practices have been tested and proven by leading brands and the consumers who power them.
