PowerReviews believes in the transformative power of feedback. Reviews not only help consumers make more informed purchase decisions, but also arm brands and retailers with the data to improve their products and services.
“Transparency and authenticity are fundamental to success in today’s marketplace. Ratings and reviews have created a marketplace in which consumers demand authentic feedback as part of their shopping journey. And now the role and impact of reviews is expanding even further,” said Matt Moog, CEO of PowerReviews. “Historically, reviews have been viewed simply as content that consumers use to find products and make purchase decisions. But reviews are evolving to become an ongoing discussion between businesses and consumers, going beyond just product feedback. At PowerReviews, we believe that ratings and reviews will become the primary vehicle that consumers and businesses use to listen and learn.”
PowerReviews’ mission is to unify and amplify the voice of the consumer throughout the entire shopping journey and across all channels, helping consumers make better purchase decisions and businesses drive sales and improve products and services.
PowerReviews is expanding its offerings to unify the consumer experience: enabling consumers to provide feedback on products and shopping experiences in a single, mobile-friendly platform.
