I also write Tripadvisor &amp; Yelp reviews, both positive &amp; negative.</p> <p>ETA- if they are very strong positive, or negative, I always make sure to send it to the company directly too and usually wait to see how they respond (if it was negative) and indicate their customer service accordingly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946974 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:34:11 +0000 ElbieKay 946974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost never write reviews, other than a few extreme travel experiences (in both directions). I get annoyed when I am asked to complete online surveys. My time is worth something. If a company wants me to take the time to give them feedback, then I would expect to be compensated for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946964 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:28:17 +0000 HabesBabe 946964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be a golden Yelp Elite, but I canceled my account about 2 years ago? I just got tired of it. I still check Yelp every now and then for reviews of new places I'm thinking of checking out, but I take them with a grain of salt. I just found that there are too many sheeple on Yelp, so I don't rely on those reviews as heavily as I used to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946942 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:19:17 +0000 mlm2934 946942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for etsy purchases cause I like to support small business crafters :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946898 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 17:01:30 +0000 T-Mom 946898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: gap, loft, piperlime, nordstrom, etc really anywhere I buy online.

Most of the places we stay tend to be TA gems that we'd never think to stay at without the reviews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946726 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:49:27 +0000 sunny 946726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I occasionally do when I receive exceptional service... Both exceptionally great and exceptionally terrible!</p> <p>I've also written reviews for favorite stores/service providers when I feel like their Yelp review is bad because of a single review. My eye doc is great and he had only 2 Yelp reviews and one of them was really poor and not for any good reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946720 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:47:17 +0000 autumnlove 946720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rely on them but I never write them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-write-online-reviews#post-946716 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:46:38 +0000 Happygal 946716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I like writing reviews on Yelp. It makes me happy to feel like I'm promoting a good business, and satisfied to share about bad experiences. I was raised to exercise the power of the pen, and my family loves to write letters and reviews.</p> <p>My husband, on the other hand, doesn't like that I write negative reviews. He was raised, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," and thinks bad reviews can negatively impact businesses. He tells me I could be messing with someone's livelihood, and they may have just been having a bad day. (Can you tell who the softie is in this pair?)</p> <p>What about you? </p>
