The Buyer Surveys Go Social: New Like/+1 Feature

According to the latest Bizrate Insights Social Shopping Survey, 67% of online buyers who use social media read comments/posts/reviews about products, brands, or retailers and 36% click on those posts to find out more information.  Leveraging your social “brand champions”, those who evangelize your product via social media outlets, and making it easy for them to share their experiences, products and purchase can increase exposure and conversion for your site.  Read more about how online buyers are using social media to shop and discover here.

We are excited to provide the opportunity to attract brand champions to your social media platform.  This week we released a Like/+1 feature to a limited audience.  For those included in the limited release, after a customer has completed our Buyer Survey and are invited to enter our Daily Cash Giveaway, they are given the opportunity to “Like” your store on Facebook or “+1” your store on Google+.  This helps the Bizrate Insights Network of retailers not only grow their base of followers but also gain prominence in the most popular search engines.

The Bizrate Facebook Like and Google +1 Invitation

The Like/+1 feature is currently being offered in beta to part of our Network with plans to complete roll-out shortly.  If you are interested in hearing more about the new feature, then contact us at bizrateinsights@bizrate.com.
