WebLinc partner Bazaarvoice recently wrote on their blog about Free People’s strategy of highlighting the site’s top reviewers. By rewarding this group of dedicated customers, Free People gives other reviewers a spotlight to aspire to, and helps shoppers find reviewers whose fashion profile most closely matches their own, creating a new source for trusted upsells.

Says Megan Koons, web marketing analyst at Free People:

“I have noticed that the reviews are a bit more creative. Customers seem to be excited at the thought of possibly becoming a ‘Top Featured Reviewer’ in the future.”

The blog post went on to say that Free People saw a staggering 93% increase in review volume in the first week of launch.
