Do Online Reviews Affect Customers Differently When They Are Actually Read?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Customers can now share their experiences and opinions with different services and products by writing online reviews, sometimes in real time (i.e., while experiencing the product). Since information provided by other customers is often seen as more noteworthy and trustworthy than advertisements from the firm (Bickart and Schindler, 2001; Blazevic et al., 2013), customer reviews are believed to have a significant influence on customers’ purchase decisions (Zhu and Zhang, 2010).

Research presented at the 15th International Conference in Advertising (ICORIA) which was held in Ljubljana (Slovenia) in July 2016.
