Likelihood to Recommend Como has taken us into the digital age with our rewards program and this is invaluable to us and our customers. The app has enabled us to steadily increase our business by continuously personalizing our customers' experience. We were able to turn a sleepy Thursday in mid-March into the second highest number of sales and buying members with a spur of the moment text campaign.
Read full review If you need an excellent mechanism to collect and publish customer reviews, Yotpo is the best that we have found. We love the feature set that is provided, even if you are using the basic membership to get started. Where it is really good is the collection and managing of reviews. The email request setup is simple and easy to use. The publishing and commenting on reviews can be managed easily in the backend. It syncs up nicely to our website providers, and we have used it on a few different platforms without any problems. The pricing on it is also very competitive when you price it out against so of the other big-name players in the space.
Read full review Pros Como allows you to customize your rewards program to fit your exact needs. Customer support is always available to answer any questions. Training to use the app is very detailed and helpful. You have all your data at your fingertips on the Como Dashboard. Read full review Yotpo alerts us by email when a new review comes in which encourages us to log in and check the Yopto dashboard to see if anything needs tending to. With one click we can publish a Yotpo review to our website, than another click and it pushes the review to Twitter, and Facebook. Even the free version has lots of useful features. Read full review Cons We have multiple locations so the billing is a challenge for me. I receive one bill and have to break it down by location. Some of the sections on the dashboard are hard to navigate. Read full review The customer photos are too small. We'd like to be able to display the photos that customers upload as much larger. They're almost thumbnails. Yotpo widgets slow down site speed so we can't use any of them. The only one we can use is the reviews page. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Our organization is very lean and agile and does not have the resources to staff either a Marketing or Customer Service Team member on reviews full time. We know and understand the value of such an individual but are unable to staff a position at this point. This reduces the value of the tool in our eyes.
Read full review Usability I think the platform back end could be easier and more intuitive, but we are able to get around and accomplish what we need to with minimal training or guidance. Specifically, we had complications with trying to do something as simple as sending ourselves test emails and adjusting image sizes pulling from our product catalog so that the review request email images would be clear.
Read full review Support Rating Live chat is always ready to help. Even when they do not have an immediate answer, we hear back from them within a reasonable time frame. Communication from the account manager is great as well. The team has been very supportive in listening to new ideas, needs, and updates based on real-time on-site data.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We were considering several loyalty platforms and Como had the most positive attributes for our needs. Como is integrated with our POS system which was one of the biggest selling points for us. It's just one extra step to attach Como to a sale at the POS, points and rewards are all right their on the customer display kiosk for our customers to redeem. No credit cards are required for our customers to use the app and loyalty program, others platforms require a credit card to be attached to the customers account whether they can make in-app purchases or not.
Read full review I have only used one other service prior to Yotpo (I don't remember what it was) and Yotpo outperforms them. Yotpo is really intuitive and easy to navigate/install from a Shopify user perspective. When Pixel union releases their customer review service I may try it out since they are my theme provider and it may integrate more seamlessly.
Read full review Return on Investment We have seen sales increases up to 31% when running campaigns. Our customers love the rewards in the app and will spend more than they came in for to get to the next rewards level. We are able to turn a slow sales day into a record breaking day with a targeted campaign. Read full review We got complaints about not having enough pictures of projects. Yotpo completely negated that complaint with the UGC implementation on our website. If my memory serves me right, 98% of our customers directly interact with some Yotpo widget on our site. That's a lot. Read full review ScreenShots
