‘Comparative reviews’ on the rise on SNS are now a structural risk
Recently, SNS, especially Twitter (X), allows users to directly compare specific products with those of competitors.Conclusion type reviewis spreading rapidly.
The re-diffusion structure through short sentences, assertive expressions, and quote functions creates consumer awareness first, regardless of whether it is true or not.
These comparative reviews go beyond simple personal opinions and, if exposed repeatedly,Reputational risk directly impacts brand trust and purchasing decisionsIt works.
Especially in product lines that are assumed to be consumed daily and purchased over a long period of time, such as slow-aging/healthy foods, it is easy for a single perception created on social media to lead to actual sales.
Is this a real review or is it noise that clouds judgment?
The problem is that these reviews may not be actual consumer experiences.
At the same time, some posts use overly conclusive or exaggerated expressions, rather than providing objective information.role in creating atmosphereYou can also do this.
Online, “how often something is seen” has a greater impact than “who wrote it.”
In the process, the individual's feelings suddenly becomeConsumption like majority evaluationThis puts the brand in a position where it is difficult to decide whether to respond or not.
Within this structure, health food brandsCompany PI also experienced unexpected reputational risk.
