Have you ever bought a product, had a bad experience with its quality, and then felt horrible because you wish you had checked out what others have to say? Exactly! I\u2019m talking about the five-star rating option that you can give depending on whether or not you\u2019ve enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the same with the events market sector. Business-driven serious-minded people constantly think of time as an investment, and truly it is. We need active ROI on time. And how would you get that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are a few reasons why online reviews just work\u2026  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just a \u2018you jump, I jump\u2019 concept, but more like an \u2018I have enjoyed this, and I want you to enjoy it too.\u2019 Now, I don\u2019t mean to sound sassy, but really \u2013 today everyone has a voice and a perspective. And most, if not all are honest while giving feedback about their experience. We are more likely to make a purchase if others (including strangers) feel that it\u2019s a good decision.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust has a part to play<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being successful at hosting an event also means that you get spoken about. This is key to establishing trust and building a robust online identity within your target market. Just like how shoppers usually trust or distrust businesses that have a rating below a certain star, similarly even in the events circuit, the quality or value a certain event brings to its attendees can have an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviews are becoming increasingly essential to decision making  <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What factors play a part in active decision making? In a recent conversation with Sir Martin Sorrell, he referred to reviews as an \u2018online word of mouth\u2019 \u2013 which is powerful. In the traditional days, word of mouth had the credibility to it and today, with technology gaining momentum online reviews can play a crucial role to you attending or passing an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Eventible Score,\u2019 is a unique tool that helps attendees make better more informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
