CPR was was looking to leverage customer reviews on individual CPR location websites and needed a solution for requesting, managing, and responding to reviews for all 225 locations. At the time they were using a platform which displayed reviews in an internal facing dashboard which did not provide the functionality needed to leverage customer reviews on their website properties. This platform also used net promoter score ranking instead of a five star ranking. There was definite need to transition to the five star ranking platform that has become standard across most modern customer review sites and more importantly, is what major search engines use. With some of the franchise owners operating multiple locations and others managing one store, they also needed a more customizable solution to their business structure.
In July 2014, ReviewPush worked with MMG’s marketing team to understand the objectives for implementing a new review system. ReviewPush also set up dashboards for each franchise owner to be able to:
Automatically request customer reviews directly from customers by e-mail after a transaction to gather feedback before they leave reviews on 3rd-party review sites
Receive e-mail notifications when a customer leaves a review and be able to see within their dashboard customer reviews only for stores they manage
Set up automatic messaging to encourage customers to share positive reviews on 3rd party review sites
Respond to customer reviews and receive approval to publish the review response, all within the ReviewPush dashboard
Additionally franchise owners operating multiple locations can easily access and reply to reviews for all of their locations.
As part of the on-boarding process – completed in less than a month to launch – the account team conducted training sessions for each franchise owner on how to use the ReviewPush portal and setup embed codes so that each store location can display 3rd-party and direct reviews on their website.
MMG can pull reports showing how each CPR location is performing and see which stores may require additional customer service training. They’ve accomplished tremendous growth in using ReviewPush as part of their new marketing strategy including:
MMG sees the value of customer reviews clearer with ReviewPush. As part of their annual franchisee conference, MMG presented awards to the highest rated store locations. They also plan to feature customer reviews on the homepage of each business location during their next site re-design.
Over 500 restaurants are already leveraging ReviewPush.
