The challenge: ensuring verified feedback
For The Pinball Company, the primary hurdle was gathering reviews from confirmed purchases. Given the nature of their business, where products like pinball machines and arcade games often involve lead times for delivery, ensuring that customers could provide feedback only after receiving their items was critical. Without this, they risked sending review requests prematurely, leading to a lower response rate and potential customer dissatisfaction.
The solution: Feefo’s tailored review platform
When searching for a solution, The Pinball Company found Feefo’s platform to be the perfect fit. Integrating seamlessly with their WooCommerce website, Feefo offered the ability to capture verified reviews while also synchronising with Google Shopping to display product ratings. The ability to manually control when review requests are sent proved transformative. By waiting until customers had received their games, the company saw a significant improvement in review participation and accuracy.
The results: increased sales and customer confidence
Since implementing Feefo, The Pinball Company has experienced tangible benefits. Verified customer reviews on their website and Google Shopping have instilled greater confidence in potential buyers, particularly for high-dollar items like pinball machines. This trust has directly translated into increased sales, reinforcing the importance of authentic customer feedback in the buyer’s journey.
Beyond sales, Feefo’s platform enabled The Pinball Company to refine their operations based on customer input. For instance, feedback about setup instructions has been relayed to manufacturers, ensuring a smoother experience for future customers. Additionally, the company’s commitment to timely responses to customer inquiries has strengthened their reputation for exceptional service.
