Viewpoints Network
Viewpoints Network
Viewpoints Network is a social technology and media company focused on helping consumers make smarter decisions. Viewpoints specializes in building online communities and motivating “social influencers†to share their experiences by writing reviews, blogs, and how-to guides while also participating in forums and contributing ideas that can be voted on.
The Viewpoints Technology Platform is a hosted technology service that helps leading brands engage their customers in a conversation to create online communities that drive organic traffic, increase conversion, provide customer insight and build brand equity. The Viewpoints Technology Platform was originally developed to power the Viewpoints Network’s own ratings and reviews site, http://www.viewpoints.com, one of the fastest growing consumer-generated communities, where consumers share product reviews and engage other like-minded individuals in conversations about the products and services they use. However, the technology was soon in demand from other brands seeking to take advantage of the power of consumer-generated reviews and to build their own online communities.
While there are many consumer review platforms available on the market, the Viewpoints Technology Platform is truly unique because it marries product review features with true social networking capabilities. For the first time, companies can combine social features such as friending, commenting, private messaging, photos, reputation rankings, RSS feeds, and tight connections to social networks, with important customer feedback opportunities such as reviews, discussion boards, blogs, idea submission, voting and ranking.
This combination of services in one platform is particularly important because it meets an unmet need for companies. Brands looking to benefit from rise in social media previously could only participate by having a presence on third party product review or social networking sites. With the Viewpoints Technology Platform, they can now take full advantage of all of these capabilities on their own site to engage and respond to their customers and build long-term relationships.
In total, the Viewpoints Technology Platform helps brands achieve what Viewpoints calls the Triple Bottom Line impact of a strong online community: With better consumer engagement, brands can 1) achieve better insight into what their customers want 2) strengthen their brand and 3) drive profitable sales.
