Hi Wallflower28! Reading through their WP, it seems a merchant or advertiser needs to sign up and register for Lina.review, thus, listed goods and services will vary from interested companies who deems reviews are to be essential part of their marketing strategies. And yes, they are ready to be both applauded and critized at the same time (since they willingly entered and signed up for Lina.review).
Well I guess, it is hard to get companies who are willing to criticize. They will not put their reputation in a risk. They have there own reviews and I assure that they always want a liitle bit of criticism but a lot of applause.
Just imagine you are the CEO of a famous company. You completely sold your products in a limited time with a high marginal revenue. Will you put your reputation just to criticize your company? How about some people found out the weakness of it? I guess you will not also put the risk in your name.
As per your last question, i'll say this will very much benefit the consumers arming us with relevant reviews and feedback, but at the same time, will also benefit merchants whose products and services are really worth our coins.
Yes! this is just for the sake of the customers. In order to guide us consumer in appropriate products and services that we will be satisfied. On the other hand, are you sure negative feedback will bring the wellness of the company? It is for those companies who are openminded to cure their lack in service.
I guess the better question here is, with merchants needing to pay for signing up and registration, won't the list of goods and services be limited compared to platforms where participation is free? Is it not possible to keep the platform free to increase and diversify products and services listings?
I guess few firms will just enter with this review. Companies who wanted to have negative and positive feedback. Unless they required to join in this review. For sure, companies that will join this review are those who wanted to advertise their company and has more positive criticism. I know companies will enter here anticipated already the feedback of the customers.
Thank you for answering my questions. I know that I will get more with their WP. I will review the review's platform again and again. Well, we have our own perceptions and this is important to tackle here for the improvements and reliabilty of the project.
