But honestly, it is these honest/candid reviews that put us on our toes to do better. We wouldn't have improved this much if not for the fear of negative reviews, lol.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hattylolla.com/2015/08/modern-day-religious-manipulations.html" rel="nofollow">Modern Day Religious Manipulations</a>@ilolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034184376612190658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-9563192243603785182015-08-17T05:10:28.791-04:002015-08-17T05:10:28.791-04:00Great post Berry!

As a business owner I know how heart wrenching it can be to see bad reviews but I try and use it as a tool for figuring out where we can improve our services. No one can be perfect 100% of the time and people's tastes differ too.

I can't put a face to the comments and it could be a promoter, rival or just bad belle putting them up. No matter how it may be, I love when people critic me (constructive) though than the praises. It keeps me on my feet. Too much praises can make one complacent. But most naija businesses are just sinply complacent with how their customers feel about their services regardless of if the reviews are good or not. Biko, give us more reviews.

I think language is important especially from the writer perspective. Also being honest helps, you need to be an open book to write a review or own a platform like this and others. <br /><br />I loveeee this post. A lot of people need to read this.<br />www.livinginlekki.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205021074165317897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-41902820703729112162015-08-12T16:59:02.117-04:002015-08-12T16:59:02.117-04:00Thanks for your comment Nedoux.

That said, there are some shortcomings that can be completely avoided or improved on, e.g. a hotel I stayed in didn't have a bath mat in the shower and I slipped and almost fell.

Other times you dislike something and another person loves it. <br /><br />Yeah, I also think that some business owners make up fake IDs to say good things about their product. I remember on a food blog, one particularly bad review had a ton of people come to attack the writers and saying the restaurant food was great.

Personally, I depend on reviews to help me decide prior to purchasing certain goods or services- imagine if someone gave a less than sincere review of some really expensive lipstick and I went ahead and purchased it.<br /><br />The truth is that businesses who are more keen to hear about the critical reviews over the glowing reviews are the ones who really want to make an extra effort to improve. That's really what counts when it comes to customer retention.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this well written post.Nedouxhttp://www.nedoux.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-19583822840656468712015-08-12T08:55:18.798-04:002015-08-12T08:55:18.798-04:00Truth is bitter you know.

I think we (biz owners and reviewers) should all learn to grow with critiques and improve on our services in the said areas sometimes, no one (biz) can perfectly satisfy everyone but we can try tho. <br /><br />www.dleonalife.blogspot.com DLeonaLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880850786609169360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924600384444388546.post-82660182750058589252015-08-12T07:53:17.063-04:002015-08-12T07:53:17.063-04:00Preach Berry!

It's all subjective, it could be horrible for me and great for somebody else. I even feel someway about good reviews sometimes when someone says oh she tried this or that on my recommendation and it was crap. But that's life. Focus on your product and your service. I once reviewed a product once and it wasn't a good review. In the days that followed, I had new commenters talking about how much they loved it. I suspected that that was the work of the product manufacturer, being shady/ childish but oh well. It's really not personal. An Afrikan Butterflyhttp://thekinkandi.comnoreply@blogger.com
