Reviews and loyalty programs are usually bought as apps and installed in an afternoon. The result is often a widget that slows down the product page, review requests that arrive before the parcel does and a points program customers forget they joined. The tools are capable. The setup is what falls short.
We treat reviews and loyalty as part of the storefront and the customer data model, not as add-ons bolted to the theme.
Reviews and user-generated content
- Collection. Review requests timed to delivery rather than order date, with photo and video prompts where they help shoppers decide.
- Display. Ratings on collection and product pages, filtering by attributes such as fit or use, and questions and answers placed where shoppers look.
- Structured data. Review markup set up in line with search engine guidelines, so ratings can be read by search engines and AI assistants.
- Moderation. Clear rules for publishing and responding to reviews, including the negative ones.
Loyalty and referral
A loyalty program should change behaviour, not just give away margin. We help you decide what to reward, such as repeat orders, reviews, referrals or account creation, and what each reward costs you. Tiers, points and perks are designed around your margins and the natural gap between purchases. Referral programs get the same treatment, with clear rules on who earns what and when.
Integration
We implement Yotpo and work with other review and loyalty platforms where they fit better. Most of the value comes from the connections. Review and loyalty events flow into your email and SMS platform. Balances and perks show in the customer account and, where the platform allows, at checkout. For omnichannel brands, in-store purchases count toward rewards. Widgets are loaded in a way that keeps product pages fast.
We also look at the reporting. Review volume and rating by product, loyalty enrolment, redemption and the repeat purchase rate of members against non-members show whether the program is earning its cost.
Reviews and loyalty are part of our conversion rate optimization service. They feed lifecycle marketing flows directly, and in-store rewards connect to our omnichannel and POS work.
