Optimize your PDP

Help shoppers make fast and confident purchasing decisions

Email review collection

Star of the inbox

Email review collection is the biggest driver of UGC program success. These evergreen, automated emails invite customers to review products they’ve purchased and account for up to 70% of review volume. No one does email review collection like Bazaarvoice. When our customers turn on our In-Mail and Multi-Product Submission features, review volume increases up to 8x. Eliminate barriers to review submission, drive review volume and product coverage, and improve user experience.

Text message review collection

Ask for product feedback like a friend

What was once a trend – consumers interacting with businesses through text message – is now commonplace. Text message review collection helps you collect almost 2X more ratings and reviews by sending requests where your customers are constantly checking. Everyone wins with higher quantities of ratings and reviews flowing in. Shoppers get more of the review volume and recency they crave for finalizing their purchasing decisions and you get more UGC to inform strategic business decisions and boost sales to new all-time highs.
