NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 19, 2016) - Influenster, the leading product discovery and reviews platform that hosts authentic reviews, announced its partnership with Bazaarvoice, the consumer-generated content solution provider creating one of the world's largest shopper networks. Of the 10 million+ unbiased reviews on Influenster, more than 30 percent of them have been generated over the past year. Through the Content Acquisition Partner Program, product reviews written by users through client campaigns via Influenster.com and the Influenster app are pushed to the Bazaarvoice network that syndicates the reviews with thousands of global brand and retail websites.
The collaboration between Influenster's proprietary reviews platform and Bazaarvoice's syndication platform allows marketers and brands to be able to generate and syndicate product reviews from consumers more efficiently. Clients of both Influenster and Bazaarvoice are now able to activate and manage content generated by users on Influenster and push the reviews to retailers through Bazaarvoice. Through this partnership, reviewers now have a greater impact on consumer opinion and brands benefit from the amplification of word-of-mouth.
"Having built Influenster as product discovery and reviews platform that hosts over 10 million reviews today, we're excited to take Influenster to the next level through this partnership with Bazaarvoice to provide retailers with the ultimate solution to generate and push their product reviews while forming deeper connections with their consumers," said Aydin Acar, CEO and co-founder of Influenster.
"Delivering more consumer-generated content in more places helps our clients enhance the shopping experience for consumers," said Aaron Bollinger, vice president of Partnerships at Bazaarvoice. "Through our partnership with Influenster, we can syndicate significantly more review content to the brand and retail sites in our network for shoppers to engage with."
