The Bottom Line Write like ME to be correct.
All reviews require an extensive description of the item being reviewed, no matter how unnecessary, or self-evident, this may be. "This book is 5.25" x 8.25"..." And describe that description! "This is slightly larger than a sandwich!" No "Very Helpful" if you don't! It is okay to be completely wrong, so long as you are enthusiastic. "Doritos snack puffs are a top choice for my toddler! [Several paragraphs describing shape of puffs, ingredient list, other info cribbed from packaging] I really appreciate how Doritos flush the toxins from my body!" Exclamation points and verbosity FTW. No review is complete without a personal touch, and consumption should be as conspicuous as possible. Did it fit in your car's trunk? NO! It fit in your BMW's trunk. If you can't write very well, distract by using lots of boldface type. If your aunt uses this tissue and she gave you a square when you visited, it's fair game for a review. So long as you are aware of the product, that's all the experience you need with it. If you have been on the site for longer than eight months, it is imperative that you add comments after rating with "helpful" information about what would make you change your rating. "Where are the ingredients? I would change my rating to Somewhat Helpful if you typed in more of the product packaging." Always ask that the review be fluffed out and padded in lieu of being made more interesting or useful. Don't worry about inconsistencies between the advertising and glaringly obvious product shortcomings. Ingredients: rice flour, sugar, ascorbic acid = "As the package says, these are very nutritious. 100% of the RDA of vitamin C!" Did you have a problem while using the product that was in no way the product's fault? It is totally okay to give the product two stars and in lieu of a review offer a story about your day. "And my husband had terrible gas for weeks after our trip to Arizona! And even though that was probably NOT the fault of the Applebee's corporation, I still cringe every time I think of the disgusted look the waitress gave DH..." Please note that I am never personally guilty of any of the above.  |
