How to turn customer reviews into your highest-performing...

You spent all that effort collecting customer reviews, and now they're just... sitting there.

On product pages. Maybe getting a few views. Definitely not working as hard as they could be.

That custom font you picked? It's showing up as Arial for 40% of your list.

Not all fonts render the same across email clients and most brands don't notice until their carefully designed email shows up as Arial in Outlook. This Omnisend guide breaks down specific font recommendations by email type, step-by-step implementation instructions, and examples from brands using custom typography effectively without sacrificing readability.

What you need to know:

• Email-safe fonts (Arial, Verdana, Georgia, Tahoma) display correctly on all devices and clients

• Custom fonts like Roboto and Montserrat add personality but require fallback strategies

• Different email types need different fonts: newsletters (Arial/Verdana), formal emails (Times/Georgia), promotional content (Trebuchet MS/Georgia)

• Always preview on desktop and mobile, use fallback fonts, and limit your email to 1-2 font families

How to turn customer reviews into your highest-performing marketing asset

Collecting reviews is just the first step. The real value comes from using them strategically across every part of your business.

Most brands treat reviews like a set-it-and-forget-it feature. They turn on a review widget, collect some feedback, and leave it sitting on product pages where only a fraction of visitors will see it.

But reviews are one of the most versatile assets you have. They build trust on your site, increase conversions in your emails, improve your SEO, perform better than branded content on social, and give you free customer research that would cost thousands to get any other way.

Here's how to actually leverage reviews once you have them – so they're working for you across every channel, not just sitting on product pages.

Showcase reviews prominently on your website

Don't bury reviews at the bottom of product pages where no one scrolls. Display them prominently where they can actually influence purchase decisions and reduce hesitation.

Where to display reviews:

• Product pages (obviously), ideally above the fold or in a visible tab that customers see without scrolling

• Homepage featuring your highest-rated products or best testimonials to build trust immediately

• Dedicated testimonial or reviews page that aggregates your best feedback in one place

• Checkout page to reduce last-minute hesitation and cart abandonment

Pro tip: Highlight reviews that mention specific benefits, use cases, or solve common objections. A review that says "I was worried about sizing but the chart was perfect" is gold for hesitant buyers who have the same concern.

Use reviews in your email and SMS campaigns

Reviews aren't just for product pages. They're powerful social proof in any marketing channel, and they can significantly improve engagement and conversion rates when used strategically.

Where to include reviews:

• Welcome emails: Build trust immediately with new subscribers by showing them others love your products

• Cart abandonment emails: Reduce hesitation by showing that others loved the exact product they left behind

• Post-purchase emails: Reinforce their decision and encourage repeat purchases by validating their choice

• Promotional campaigns: Add credibility to sale announcements or new launches by including real customer feedback

Pro tip: Match the review to the customer segment. If you're emailing customers who browsed a specific product, include a review about that exact product to increase relevance and conversion likelihood.

Turn reviews into social media content

User-generated content (UGC) from reviews performs better than branded content because it feels authentic and relatable, which is exactly what social audiences respond to.

How to use reviews on social:

• Share customer photos and testimonials in feed posts and stories to build social proof

• Create highlight reels of video reviews that show real people using and loving your products

• Turn glowing quotes into graphic templates with customer attribution to make them shareable

• Run paid ads featuring real customer reviews instead of generic brand copy to improve click-through rates

Pro tip: Always ask permission before sharing customer content publicly, and tag the customer when possible to increase engagement and encourage others to share their own experiences.

Leverage reviews for SEO and paid search

Reviews generate fresh, keyword-rich content that search engines love, and they can improve your paid ad performance by adding credibility and social proof.

How reviews help SEO:

• They add new, relevant content to your site regularly without you having to write it yourself

• They naturally include long-tail keywords and phrases that customers actually use when searching

• They improve time on page and reduce bounce rates because people spend time reading reviews

• They can generate rich snippets with star ratings in search results, which increase click-through rates

How reviews improve paid ads:

• Google Ads allows seller ratings extensions that display aggregate review scores below your ad

• Ads with reviews or testimonials have higher click-through rates and lower cost per click

• Social proof in ad copy reduces cost per acquisition by building trust before the click

Create a feedback loop with product development

Reviews aren't just marketing fuel. They're product research that tells you exactly what customers want, need, and struggle with in real time.

What to look for:

• Feature requests: What do customers wish your product did that it doesn't currently do?

• Common complaints: What problems keep appearing that you can fix in the next iteration?

• Unexpected use cases: How are customers using your product in ways you didn't anticipate or market?

• Messaging gaps: What benefits do customers love that you're not highlighting in your marketing?

Use this feedback to improve products, refine messaging, and prioritize development roadmaps so you're building what customers actually want instead of guessing.

Reviews are a compounding asset

The more reviews you collect, the more valuable they become. They build trust, drive conversions, improve search rankings, fuel your marketing, and guide your product development – all at the same time.

But only if you actually use them.

Don't let reviews sit idle on product pages. Push them into emails, social content, ads, and customer research. Make them work across every channel where they can influence decisions or surface insights.

Start by picking one place where reviews could have immediate impact – cart abandonment emails, homepage trust builders, social proof in ads – and implement it this week. Then build from there.

Your customers already did the hard work of writing the reviews. Now it's your job to make sure they actually drive results.

DTC wins:

Olive oil brand Graza just became the Official Olive Oil and Mayonnaise of NASCAR, expanding its existing partnership with RFK Racing to the league level.

As part of that relationship, Graza served as the primary partner on Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford Mustang at COTA on March 1 and will remain a full-season associate partner on Ryan Preece’s No. 60 car. The broader NASCAR deal also includes a custom Graza food truck popping up at race weekends to elevate the tailgate experience.
