Everybody goes online to research a product before they buy it. According to a recent online study done by Lightspeed Research, less than one-third (27 percent) of respondents said they had not conducted online pre-purchase research.
Despite the popularity of Facebook and Twitter, only 7 percent of survey respondents look for product reviews from friends on social networking sites. “Despite their role in our digital lives, social networks don’t yet seem to be the place where Word of Mouth is delivering its full power,” says Naor Chazan, Marketing Director, Americas at Lightspeed Research. “Consumers turn most readily to search engines, Consumer Reports, shopping websites, and review communities for their research, while social networking sites sit at the extreme opposite end of the spectrum.”
Bellino Me is an attempt to integrate social media with an online research tool for the consumer.
Like all other forms of social media, the product review is a response, not a talking point. Small businesses cannot match the manpower and resources of the giants. However strength is in numbers. Bellino Me is a marketing platform for small businesses and professionals in health, fitness and beauty products to come together to show off their superior products and build a community around their brands.
