Using Farmigo's Store Comments to Gather Testimonials

2/7/2014

 
Did you know?
  • 70% of customers consult reviews or ratings before making a purchase (Business Week, 2008)
  • A highly-rated product will increase the likelihood of purchase for 55% of consumers (Econsultancy, 2010)
  • 63% of customers are more likely to purchase from a site if it has ratings or reviews (Evoc Insights, 2006)

Having strong customer testimonials to add to a page while people are exploring can be a very effective tool to boost sales! Great news: you can use the Farmigo system in order to start getting testimonials from your customers!

Using your Web Store to Gather Customer Testimonials

You can do this by activating a comments box in your webstore. To do this, follow these steps:
    1) In your dashboard, go to "Settings"
    2) Go to the tab, "Store"
    3) In the field, "Store comments label" put text encouraging members to leave a testimonial. 

Here are a couple examples of what you could say:
  • Let us know how our farm has made a difference in your life!
  • Leave a review to let us know how we're doing!
  • Tell us about your experience with our farm!

*Important Note: Web store comments need to be collected on a weekly basis

Any comments you receive through your store comments box will be attached to a member's weekly store order, and can be accessed through your Labels and Distribution reports. Make sure that when you download your Labels or Distribution report, you save the comments in a memorable location, as they will disappear once the delivery day passes!

Tips for Selecting Testimonials

  • Try to find testimonials that cite specific benefits of ordering from your business- a testimonial that says "Your convenient pick up locations save me hours of shopping time on the weekends!" is a lot more effective in convincing people in the power of your produce than, "Great product! Love what you do!"
  • Include names, locations, and photos as much as possible. Assigning the testimonial to a real person helps to instill trust in the credibility of the review.
  • Don't over-edit!! Making light edits for grammar and punctuation are OK, but make sure that you leave the content and tone of the message as it is.
