We are primarily an internal customer relations platform that encourages communication between businesses and customers. The process of communication starts with a review. A review can be requested by the business or simply sent by the customer through the business's website.

Our mission, first and foremost, is to promote open communication with your customers. This ultimately leads to improved quality and a stellar reputation!

We're not like the typical 5-star review system. We believe there are two kinds of reviews. Either the customer is completely satisified, or the customer has a concern. While a satisfied customer is always nice, a concern is the review that's most important. It's not something to be feared or dreaded, but to be treated as an opportunity for improvement. We don't endorse negative feedback that simply takes a jab with no intent of finding a resolution.

We arm you with the ability to chat with your customers about concerns as well as publishing all your raves on your own website.

No website? No problem! We also provide you with your own ThumbsYup^® website.

Share your personalized "Request a Review Link" ^* whenever you can!

Here are some ideas:

1. Simply request a review through email by using our handy request a review tool.
   You can find this tool in your account "Get Reviews!" under your "Request a Review" tab.
2. Add a subtle request to your email signature (see "How do I create an email signature..." below).
3. Embed reviews in your own website with HTML code we provide.
