In groceries, beer, and reviews, freshness matters. And by freshness, we mean ‘recency’. If your last review is older than 90 days, you have a recency problem that needs to be addressed.
Increase Revenue
According to Womply Research, businesses with more than 9 ‘fresh’ reviews in the past 90 days earn a whopping 52% more revenue than businesses with stale reviews. Depending on your industry and product or service, having a strategy to acquire more reviews will have a massive impact on profitability.
Lose Revenue
Conversely, businesses with no fresh reviews earn 20% LESS revenue. Like a line around the block for a popular food truck, consumers see a high volume or recent reviews to be a key indicator of a thriving business.
Turn up the volume
When it comes to consumer trust, volume of reviews means more than overall score. While quality DOES matter, in the Womply study, businesses with an above average number of reviews had a much more dramatic revenue gain than businesses with a below average number of reviews.

So if you’re satisfied with that 5-star rating on 4 reviews, don’t get too comfortable, because your customers don’t believe it.
Focus on implementing a reputation strategy for consistent review acquisition that will lead to significant, proven revenue gains.
