(Newswire.net — April 12, 2013) Newcastle, AU — Online Reputation Survey: In a recent survey conducted by online reputation management firm IrevealTV, a local business chamber group of 35 business owners from varying industries were all asked what kind of online reputation they had built online. The results indicated that 95% of business owners were not aware of what kind of online reputation they had achieved, nor what kind of impact their reputation would have on their future business online.
The popular question raised by the majority of business owners upon the conclusion of the local business survey was; “Well how many customers am I driving to my competition?”.
Recent studies have indicated that 80 percent of consumers have avoided a product or service based on poor reviews and 90 percent have bought a product solely on good reviews. Consumers will still go online to confirm details and compare their options when making a purchase online, regardless of which advertisement first grabbed their attention.
Reputation Awareness: In a recent interview, Brian Savic, CEO of local online reputation firm IrevealTV, responded to the question “Why don’t business owners realise they are so vulnerable online these days?” responded with the following statement: “We understand that It’s hard enough for business owners to run their business profitably and stay focused on providing a successful product or service, rather than worrying about what to post on Facebook or Tweet next.
Every business has its own challenges and knowing how to take control of your online reputation requires the right information and the best guidance.”
Brian Savic went on further to say: ” We also understand that having a bad online reputation was a costly problem being faced by many business owners today and there was an urgent need for a solution. After 6 months of research, development and a sizeable investment made by IrevealTV, the launch of our free Reputation Awareness Project is live and will allow us to help local business owners take control of their online reputation and dramatically decrease the amount of business being lost due to bad reviews.”
Bad reviews are becoming an increasing and very costly problem faced by business owners today. Regardless of whether the bad reviews have been posted by a disgruntled customer or competitor, the negative impact on the profitability for that business and its future success is immediate.
Reputation Awareness Project: The Reputation Awareness Project is a free suite of the latest information tools to help business owners understand how vital a “good reputation” is for today’s business to be a success online. The free tools consist of online reputation training, a reputation eBook and access to the IrevealTV proprietary reputation search engine. When accessed the reputation search engine searches the entire web and delivers an online reputation report that reveals the online reputation score and any bad reviews currently posted online for that business.
