ResellerRatings vs. Sampler

ResellerRatings is a good tool for collecting ratings and quantifying how satisfied a user is with your website. It is relatively easy to implement and get setup and does have some pre-built widgets for adding reviews to your site. ResellerRatings does require a bit of training to get the hang of the administrative interface and it does require support staff to monitor, flag, and respond to reviews that are submitted (which can be a challenge depending on # of reviews and staffing levels).

I have a skincare mini set and would like to partner with Sampler. However, they cannot come up with an immediate solution to suit my sampling needs. This means that their operations are sometimes limited by their current capacity. If the product is of small size, it seems that they are always ready for service.

• The sampler provides great quality sample products with blazingly fast delivery, ensuring we can try various products whenever we want.
• I get to try new brands without wasting the whole product if I don't like using the product. So it is eco-friendly in that way by reducing chemical waste.
• It helps the professionals who are in business administration responsibility, to make a perfect and apt purchase, without any miss.
• One get to learn about a lot of new products, trying them and end up being loyal to the brand/product. So Sampler helps in establishing the necessary customer acquisition part for a new brand.

ResellerRatings support is pretty easy to get ahold of, and we usually got response within 24 hours.

We use both Trustpilot and ResellerRatings, as they handle slightly different aspects of services (product versus service).

The market for sample-type websites is very fluid. There are many companies that pop up one day, then all of a sudden disappear. Sampler has been around for multiple years and has kept the same business model. They're not perfect, but their longevity and their relaxed nature with reviews are why many like them. Whereas other sample and review outlets require customers to write reviews or have items that many customers simply do not want.

• ResellerRatings has had a positive impact on ROI by allowing us to quickly gather user ratings/reviews and integrate the aggregate review with Google's paid search ads (via star ratings showing in ads)
• ResellerRatings has also had a positive impact on our business by allowing us to collect reviews and display on our website without the need for internal development resources and IT work (which would have been very costly for us).
• One thing we had wanted to accomplish through the use of ResellerRatings was to display reviews on our website and provide that detail to Google in a consumable format which would result in star ratings showing in our organic search results. However, we were not able to accomplish this and Google never picked up our rating from the ResellerRating's widgets, so that was a bit of a letdown.
