We live in a fast-paced world where it is easy to find out what other people have to say about services and products. This is why reviews are so important for businesses; online reviews are the new form of word-of-mouth advertising! According to online survey sites, 87% of consumers say positive online reviews have reinforced their decision to purchase a product or service. 80% of consumers say negative online reviews have made them change their mind about purchasing a product or service recommended to them. Your opinion is much more powerful than you think so if you aren’t submitting online reviews about businesses that you recommend, you should start!

Your opinion is much more powerful than you think, so if you aren’t submitting online reviews about businesses that you recommend, you should start! The most supportive thing you can do for a local small business is to submit a positive 5-star review on sites such as google, yelp, facebook, yahoo, or directly to their website. On the flipside, you should also consider sharing experiences that are not positive so others don’t experience the same thing. It is also very telling to see how a business responds to a negative review.
