Automate Jewelry Review Requests By Integrating Lightspeed & Podium

Jewelry stores rely heavily on their reputation to attract new customers, retain existing ones, and succeed in such a competitive industry. A major component of your jewelry store’s online reputation is your online reviews. That’s why it’s crucial to ask your customers for feedback after every jewelry purchase. 

However, this process can be time-consuming, especially for small businesses. 

That’s where a Lightspeed and Podium integration comes in handy. 

In this blog post, we will explain what Lightspeed and Podium are and why you should use this connection to automate review requests after every jewelry store purchase.

What is Lightspeed? What does it do for your jewelry store? 

Lightspeed is a cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) system designed specifically for small and medium-sized retail businesses, such as jewelry stores. It allows you to manage your inventory, sales, customer data, and employee shifts from a single platform. 

Lightspeed also seamlessly integrates with various other tools, such as accounting and e-commerce software as well as other platforms for jewelry businesses like Podium. Its user-friendly interface and customizable features make it an ideal choice for jewelry store owners who aim to manage their business operations efficiently.

How to Automate Review Requests After Jewelry Purchases With Lightspeed and Podium

Once you’ve set up the integration, you can automate the review request process after every purchase using Podium. Podium will send a review request via text message to the customer after they complete their purchase in your store. The review request includes a link to your business’s online review platform, and the customer can quickly leave a review on their phone. 

This process saves you time and ensures that every customer receives a review request, which can boost your online reputation and attract new customers.

4 Tips for Automating Jewelry Store Review Requests With Lightspeed and Podium

Here are four best practices to keep in mind when automating your jewelry store’s review requests with Lightspeed and Podium. 

1. Make sure review requests are timely.

You can customize the review request settings based on your preferences. You can choose the number of hours after every purchase to send the review request, the language of the message, and the delivery method. When customers receive the review requests, they can leave reviews on popular review sites like Google, Yelp, or Facebook in just seconds. 

2. Personalize all review requests.

It’s essential to personalize your review requests for customers to provide feedback. Use their first names to create a more meaningful and personalized message. You can also include the product or service they purchased in your message. Personalization can increase the chances of customers leaving reviews. And with Podium, personalizing review requests is done for you. 

3. Follow up on review requests.

Sometimes, customers may forget to leave reviews despite receiving requests. Following up with them can prompt them to take action. Podium has a follow-up feature that allows you to send follow-up messages to customers who haven’t left reviews. With the intelligent automation feature, you can customize the follow-up messages based on specific customer behaviors.

4. Analyze your review performance.

After setting up the review request system, it’s essential to analyze the review performance regularly. Use Podium’s analytics tools to track the number of reviews, the review ratings, and the review responses. You can use the data to improve your product or service quality, provide better customer service, and attract new customers.
