Product Reviews, Seller Feedback and Customer Questions
Transcription
A shopper browsing on Amazon has an enormous selection of products to choose from, but how could they gauge from an largest Sortman which item is the right one for them? How could they know which products are top seller? One simple approach is to look at the number of reviews or product has received. A customer can get an estimate of how popular the item is by how many people have left feedback when compared to the number of reviews from a similar item, be sure to compare to products in the same category.

So on average, about 3% of shoppers who purchase a product will leave a review. A sharper can also read through the comments to determine if past purchases are happy with their selection.
An overall high rating is a good measure of customer satisfaction. Another approach is to look at best sellers within each category. Amazon flags, a bestseller banner above products that are selling well. Amazon’s complex algorithm chooses to category best sellers through the number of sales to product generates.
Positive reviews and they complex number of other metrics known only to Amazon bestseller rankings change frequently, and some cases hourly. And they are only measured against items within that specific category. So the more positive reviews your products have, the better chance of being flagged as a bestseller within your category, you have.
Amazon also uses other banners called Amazon’s choice or number one new release to denote top category sellers Amazon’s choice, automatically selects products based on prime eligibility, product reviews, pricing availability, and other criteria. There is no application or enrollment for Amazon’s choice.
And the selection process for these categories is another one of Amazon’s mysteries. The badge appears and disappears on product detail pages. It’s relatively unknown. Why some items are chosen over others. But the more positive product reviews you have, the better your metrics are within Amazon system and the better chance your products have of being flagged as Amazon’s choice.
