Absolute Digital Media Reviews the Effect of Online Recommendations
(PRWEB UK) 24 July 2013 -- The article, UK Consumers Listen to Strangers for Online Advice, published June 12th in eMarketer reveals that the research, conducted by Adobe Systems found 44% of internet users in the UK to take on board product or brand advice from customer forums. Demonstrating a relatively thin gap between trusted recommendations given by friends/family and those from strangers, the study also found that 50% of web users selected product comments as their preferred source of review. Interestingly, opinions given by Facebook friends came second.

“As well as instilling trust in your potential customers, glowing reviews from happy customers are also a great way of adding original content to your site regularly.

One of the best ways to encourage your customers to leave positive reviews on these sites is by interaction through social media, possibly using incentives to inspire your audience.”
