Tips for your review marketing

• You can share all the reviews you have collected - whether they are service, product or local reviews - with the app.
• Do not use wallpapers with small or distracting visuals. Otherwise you risk compromising the readability of the text.
• Choose a background image suitable to your shop, the reviewed product or the tone of the review.
• Choose night mode if you want high contrast between the text and background image. The text then appears as white against a dark background.
• Share reviews with a length of about one to three concise sentences, or about 20 words. Especially long texts might overwhelm short social media attention spans, reviews that are too short might not be meaningful enough to share.
• Add a short introductory headline or description to your review on the social media platform of your choice, and include a few matching hashtags.
