Our take
User-generated content has become one of the biggest forces in online shopping and many people are turning to reviews from real customers instead of polished advertising campaigns. But that creates a challenge for brands, which now have to manage huge amounts of customer content while keeping it authentic and trustworthy.
Bazaarvoice is helping brands collect and share customer reviews, ratings, photos, and videos across online stores and social platforms. And its latest TikTok Shop integration allows brands to automatically place trusted customer reviews directly onto product pages, helping build trust and boost sales from day one.
Founded in 2005, Bazaarvoice now works with more than 13,000 brands and retailers worldwide, showing just how valuable authentic customer feedback has become in eCommerce. As shopping and social media continue to merge, demand for trusted user-generated content is only expected to grow, so its only likely Bazaarvoice will continue to grow too.
