Social Media Management Leveled Up Review Volume and Star Ratings for a National Direct to Consumer Brand

THE CHALLENGE

Social media management can help businesses monitor their online social conversations without the hassle of relying on in-house expertise while minimizing the cost of staffing. A national direct to consumer brand wanted to engage with consumers more directly through their online social media channels but did not have in-house expertise to manage these marketing channels effectively.

THE RESULTS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT

The client gained immediate visibility into customer sentiment through real-time social media conversations—transforming what was once scattered feedback into a clear, strategic advantage. More than just listening, they were able to build genuine, 1-to-1 relationships with customers through active engagement and timely responses.

Powered by IntelliShop’s online reputation management platform, the results came fast:

• +60% increase in Facebook reviews
• +44% boost in average star rating
• From 0% to 80% response rate in just 90 days

This level of responsiveness not only strengthened their online presence—it established a direct and trusted line of communication with their customers. By consolidating feedback from all major platforms into one powerful solution, the company created a single source of truth for their online reputation and voice-of-customer (VOC) insights.

Why It Matters

When enterprise locations respond to at least 32% of reviews, they see 80% higher conversion rates compared to those replying to only 10%. It’s not just about optics—it’s about outcomes.

Brands that actively manage their social media presence and respond to unsolicited customer feedback are uncovering rich data that:

• Improves operational performance
• Enhances customer experience
• Drives measurable increases in sales

People buy from brands they trust. And trust is built one response at a time.
