The vendor states that brands with Yotpo are empowered to create smarter, higher-converting experiences that spark and sustain customer relationships. Yotpo integrates with everyday tools including Google, Instagram, top eCommerce platforms, and other tools in the tech stack.
We love that the Zinrelo program is one of the many reasons that our customers shop with us repeatedly. It helps to give us an edge, compared to nearby competitors, who might not offer such a program.
If you have an ecommerce website Yotpo does the job. It's dependable, easy to install, and you can set up a funnel to get the customer to review your site or product, then ask them to post a review on social media by offering an incentive. If you're a small business this can work as a set it and forget it system that just needs to be checked once in awhile if you are short on time. When you do check in you can push the reviews yourself to social sites. The free version does not do this automatically as far as I know
They are always asking for feedback, so that they can understand what is working well for us, and what isn't working well.
They are pro-active and frequently offer suggestions to us, for promotions that they think would be worthwhile, and help us to keep shoppers coming back.
Though perfectly functional, Zinrelo’s interface seems slightly dated and could use a visual update.
Zinrelo should develop direct integrations with BigCommerce and NetSuite, so all Zinrelo account management can be handled within those platforms.
Zinrelo should allow for custom reasons for the addition of points. Sometimes the the established reasons do not address the situation, and the flexibility to add custom reasons with reduce or eliminate the need to add notes to transactions.
Our organization is very lean and agile and does not have the resources to staff either a Marketing or Customer Service Team member on reviews full time. We know and understand the value of such an individual but are unable to staff a position at this point. This reduces the value of the tool in our eyes.
I think the platform back end could be easier and more intuitive, but we are able to get around and accomplish what we need to with minimal training or guidance. Specifically, we had complications with trying to do something as simple as sending ourselves test emails and adjusting image sizes pulling from our product catalog so that the review request email images would be clear.
Live chat is always ready to help. Even when they do not have an immediate answer, we hear back from them within a reasonable time frame. Communication from the account manager is great as well. The team has been very supportive in listening to new ideas, needs, and updates based on real-time on-site data.
The only other platform we tried before settling on Zinrelo was Yotpo. We never moved to a paid plan before switching to Zinrelo. Compared to Yotpo, Zinrelo was easier to on-board and more affordable. Though Yotpo’s interface was more engaging, there was nothing missing from Zinrelo that justified the the added expense of Yotpo.
We like Yotpo because they offer all of the same features and suite of tools, and they do it at a fraction of the price. We see no benefits in paying a whole lot more money for no added benefit. Yotpo handles our customer reviews perfectly for our needs and gives us everything that we need to manage, respond, and gather reviews for our products and website.
