Automated Product Reviews: A Game-Changer for E-Commerce
Collecting customer feedback is crucial for e-commerce businesses to improve their products and services. Automated product reviews offer a convenient and effective way to gather this feedback. With CM Commerce, online retailers can send review requests via email campaigns, making it easy for customers to leave their thoughts directly in the email. This streamlined process can increase participation and the quality of reviews.
Key Benefits of Automated Product Reviews
- Dedicated landing pages: CM Commerce’s automated review requests direct customers to dedicated landing pages, ensuring a seamless reviewing experience.

Real-World Example: How Company X Boosted Their Reviews
Company X, an online fashion retailer, leveraged CM Commerce’s automated product review system to improve their customer feedback process. With Zapier, they automated workflows to trigger review requests after purchases on Shopify, their e-commerce platform. By implementing this strategy, Company X observed a 50% increase in review participation within three months. Moreover, the quality and depth of reviews improved, helping to enhance customer confidence and boost conversions.
Social Proof: A Powerful Tool for Further Encouraging Reviews
Positive social proof, such as displaying the number of reviews, star ratings, or top reviews on product pages, can further encourage customers to leave their feedback. CM Commerce’s review widget (help.commerce.campaignmonitor.com/s/article/how-do-i-set-up-the-reviews-widget) allows businesses to showcase this information prominently.
Ethical and Sustainable Practices
While automating e-commerce product ratings can bring significant benefits, it’s important to adhere to ethical and sustainable practices. Here are some tips from CM Commerce’s blog:
- Encourage reviews, but never buy or falsify them.

- Offer incentives cautiously, ensuring they are compliant with platform rules, and avoid influencing the content of the review.
