A Selection of the Feedback from Parents on Influence
“I typically only review purchases that I’m either super happy or super disappointed with. The last review I left was for tea towels, which were awful and almost a fire hazard because the material was so bad!”
“I am influenced by online reviews, but you can no longer trust the overall rating as there are so many fake reviews, I find I try to read a few reviews to try to get the feeling if there are any issues of concern.”
“I’m a ‘see it to believe it’ person, so I’d have to physically see the product a mate or someone else has recommended for me to be persuaded to buy the product I’m interested in.”
“Price, Paypal, Trustpilot and numerous opinions/ratings are important. If there are no reviews for a product/service I tend to avoid it and look for well recommended alternatives.”
