What are Express Reviews?
|
| |
Express Reviews are short, concise reviews that sum up a reviewer's experience quickly. A single express review would likely not contain enough
information for a shopper to make a buying decision. Express reviews are useful to consumers in aggregate. They are used by consumers to backup what they have
learned from the reviews.
