Online Reviews:

Professor:
So, Dennis, what changes have you seen in marketing recently?
Dennis:
Well, as you know, customers love to post online reviews of products
these days. These reviews are now just as important as traditional
advertising. Maybe even more important. TV advertising is as useful
as it was before, of course. On the other hand, newspaper ads

much less effective than they used to be.
Professor:
Hmm. That’s interesting. . . . I’ve spoken to some marketing people
who aren’t as positive as you are about online reviews.
Dennis:
Really? I’m surprised. There are certainly some concerns with
online reviews. For example, satisfied customers are less likely to
write reviews than people who have had a problem. This means
there might be more negative reviews than positive ones. But online
shoppers are wiser now. A few negative opinions are not as harmful
as they used to be. Also, the positive reviews can be as valuable as
ads. If a customer loves a product, he or she will endorse
it just as
