Today we are launching the public beta of our new Ratings and Reviews system and we are really looking forward to your feedback.
Receiving and analyzing your product/service Ratings and Reviews captured on your website is often critical to the success of your organization. We are going to make this process even easier. We are happy to announce our new version of Ratings and Reviews that will help you generate word-of-mouth in a more interactive way. Our new system is ideal for mobile, and more engaging for your customers, but that’s not all.
You can add custom questions to your product review process, which can result in more accurate responses, so you can better analyze your results. Each question type will create a more engaging experience for your customers regardless of the device they are on.
We talk a lot about mobile optimization for Ratings and Reviews and why it is so important. More than 38% of our clients are now completing reviews on mobile devices.
If for some reason you didn’t think mobile was important before - it’s time to think again.
Throughout 2016 we made a lot of improvements to help you build your Ratings and Reviews system, and we are excited to announce this new version. Our set of prepackaged themes and styles make your Review and Q&A look beautiful. Besides giving reviews a great new look, the themes are also "Responsive". Responsive is a design approach to developing websites that allow your webpages to automatically adjust to fit on different size devices. This means it will look great no matter where your customers view them—be it a phone, tablet, or computer.
You can find new integration code under the Setup tab using the Active Widgets dropdown menu.
Your feedback is most welcome. Please let us know what you think about the changes.
If you find anything that we can improve upon - please let us know.
We have just upgraded our website to better serve our clients. We have upgraded our servers to make the loading the Review widget faster and more reliable. A few weeks ago we upgraded much of the core infrastructure in our data center. We’re always reorganizing, tuning, checking allocations, and generally optimizing code and infrastructure wherever we can.
Other Improvements
This month’s release also includes a number minor of bug fixes.
Email server upgrade.
One of the biggest challenge when running your own email server is keeping any emails you send from being classified as spam by the receiver. One of best ways to prevent phishing is to be proactive by employing domain name authentication. Authentication serves to protect your brand by providing a valid identity on a sending domain. Once authenticated, receivers then use it as a foundation for applying reputation and accreditation as well as a tool for more accurate filtering. We are happy to announce that we have rolled out DKIM authentication on behalf of all our clients. Top global webmail providers such as AOL, Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail & Yahoo are now incorporating DKIM into their filtering algorithms. This enhancement will improve our follow up email delivery process. Please check your follow-up email conversion report in the future - you will see the difference.
DKIM, or DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a cryptographic approach to authenticating email. It was developed in part to solve some of the issues that SPF can’t solve, such as forwarded email. This is an important step in the fight against phishing as spammers are no longer able to use disposable and transient IPs and hide behind a made-up domain.
