Gamified Review

Consumers seek dynamic forms of advice with interactive reviews

Implications - Understanding the importance of word-of-mouth exposure in an age of social media, many apps are offering the opportunity for consumers to share dynamic reviews and ratings. More than a written review, these apps allow for in-depth, interactive and crowdsourced methods of determining which product or service is right for consumers, indicating the continued importance of peer-to-peer feedback in purchasing decisions.
Workshop Question - How could you make the review process for your products or services more interactive for consumers?

3. Community-focused Book Review Platforms - Apps that bridge the gap between book clubs and review sites by creating a digital space for people with a shared love of reading to connect provide opportunities for authors and publishers to build a community and promote their books.
Industry Implications
1. E-commerce Platforms - Interactive reviews, product review social platforms, and community-focused book review platforms can provide new opportunities for e-commerce businesses to engage with customers, promote their products, and build a community.
2. Design Products - Platforms like Hurated, which provide product ratings curated by designers and other tastemakers, create opportunities for businesses that sell design products to connect with customers and gain exposure for their products.
