Chose IZEA
We selected IZEA because of the price. We wanted a platform that would cost less than the one we were currently using.
Bazaarvoice is overall a quite strong ratings and reviews platform. If you have a national brand and want to integrate ratings and reviews into your website, Bazaarvoice should be in your consideration set. If you have a small business or a tighter budget, you may find Bazaarvoice too robust or expensive of a platform. If your brand gets a lot of organic product reviews, Bazaarvoice will be a helpful tool to increase brand credibility and search engine rankings. If you need help getting consumers to review your products, Bazaarvoice offers sampling programs. These programs can get very pricy depending on how many SKUs you are looking for reviews on. Bazaarvoice also has a proprietary platform where they collect consumer reviews for many brands, and once you have the Bazaarvoice ratings and reviews platform, you may be able to purchase reviews of your products and have them sync to your website without having to run a sampling program.
TapInfluence is a great influencer marketing tool that has made lives so much easier and therefore I would recommend it to everyone to use it because of its great database search function which makes it an optimal option for users. It should work towards their customer service support so that all users do not have to go through any problem. If you are ready to get hands-on the functions then the only condition is that you have to be willing to pay the hefty price too which I feel is a little outrageous.
Bazaarvoice Curations makes it incredibly easy to pull in content from multiple social media platforms for us to review.
Once the content is pulled into the Curations dashboard, our marketing team can very easily scroll through all the images and decide which ones we would like to feature on our site.
Curations also makes it very easy to tag any of our products in the images. We are able to do this manually, but Bazaarvoice also offers the option of letting their team tag the products they see in our images.
IZEA has changed the overall game of influencer marketing.
IZEA is so much more popular than any of its major players in the market.
IZEA is the best way to identify appropriate influencers for influencer marketing and this software has overall solved the main hassle and problem of everyone.
It is a wonderful tool that provides effective services.
I love the automation in this influencer connection service. TapInfluence has an automated process in which it recommends influencers who can do very good publicity for my business sector. This feature is very important to me since in this way the advertising will reach people who will really take that information into account because it is of interest to them.
The main panel of TapInfluence has divisions where I can see all the influencers who are working for me, in addition, in this individual panel I can know all the advertising that each of the influencers has done and see what traffic that advertising has generated, I can know the views that advertising has had and the clicks it has obtained. It is very important to be able to consult all this data from the main panel, so I can know what performance each influencer is giving me.
TapInfluence offers me a very stable communication service, where I can constantly converse with each of the influencers who work for me and with the influencers that appear in my "recommended" window.
Their login to their portal is awful. They are working on creating a single sign on experience but right now there are different usernames and passwords depending on what dashboard you are attempting to access.
They could probably spend more time optimizing the cost of their initialization script. The size of the JavaScript concerns me.
They could work on their deployment and preview tools. The time for our staged changes to show on the live site doesn't seem to be as quick as it should be and the preview tools don't take into account the site's CSS files for display.
It is also crucial to understand the cons associated with TapInfluence so that the overall software can be improved in a much better way. In my opinion, TapInfluence should give a considerable amount of attention to their customer support service as it needs to get a lot better.
Software like TapInfluence should be very easy to use due to its intuitive interface but I feel that here it is difficult to use especially for beginners.
We are happy with the product and really just need to optimise our deployment of it on an ongoing basis. There is a lot of functionality prebuilt within Bazaarvoice which we want to have on our site, and to recreate this in our platform would take significant effort which is not practical for us.
I'm sure all processes and program can improve, however Bazaarvoice has reached a very easy usability level and hope this continues as the product improves over time.
The Bazaarvoice team is always available via call, email, or any other platform to provide help, guidance, or to push or ask for the task we set earlier. They are talkative and easy to share information and discuss issues if there are any. Thay may have more out of box solutions for easy implementation, but as a whole, and regarding support I am satisfied.
Even though both PowerReviews and Bazaar Voice are capable of fulfilling the aforementioned needs, PowerReviews also provides free trials. PowerReview's style options aren't always user-friendly, but the app is worth checking out if aesthetic concerns aren't top of mind. Bazaar Voice, on the other hand, sounds really professional and is remarkably simple to use.
This has had a positive impact on the way the company identifies user issues and complaints more easily/readily.
The negative impact is that departments seem to put a lot more expectations on our customers than this tool can provide (e.g., replies and follow-up), meaning that we aren't as able to provide additional information when requested.
It's uncertain whether responding to reviews adds a lot of value when all is said and done. Reviewers rarely adjust their ratings, even if/when we sufficiently address their concerns or resolve issues.
IZEA is a great tool for influencer marketing and it has some great benefits for everyone related to influencer marketing.
It is a great and affordable way to discover new influencers from different backgrounds so easily and swiftly at your fingertips.
Cost effective platform.
The software has an innovative way to promote products and expand the market in a safe way. IZEA has a large network that makes you connect to new and different people just at your fingertips.
Our company has managed to be more recognized nationally, we have been recognized by a totally reliable company and with very efficient real estate services, thanks to the publicity that the influencers have achieved in TapInfluence.
We have obtained more clients in our company. Thanks to the extensive publicity that influencers have made, more clients come to our company every day to ask questions and to access our real estate services.
We have improved the display of the influencers' advertising reach. This has helped us to know which influencer has been more profitable and how much audience has obtained the publicity.
