Every company should care about customer reviews, regardless of seniority and company size. However, just creating profiles on review sites is definitely not enough. Your customers are as busy as you are, so the chance that they will provide feedback on their own is not very high. Unless they are really satisfied or really disappointed. That’s why it is up to you to take the initiative and simply ask for feedback. Once you receive it, don’t forget to respond.

Posting fake reviews on a website is not a good idea for several reasons. First and foremost, it is dishonest and unethical. Additionally, there is a financial penalty of up to 10% of turnover for posting false consumer opinions or recommendations online.

The Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council, known as the Omnibus Directive, imposes many new obligations on entrepreneurs. Regarding consumer opinions and recommendations, the main focus is on the obligation to inform whether and how the company verifies the opinions shared on the website. In the article, together with the law firm KWKR Konieczny Wierzbicki and Partners, we provide advice on what to pay attention to in order to comply with the new regulations.
