Product and service reviews are some of the most important factors which can affect customers’ decision before purchasing products. Having more reviews from customers can help you to easily persuade more customers to buy from you and in turn this increases your sales.
Review Booster can be used to send automated emails to customers after their purchase in order to prompt reviews from them.
