Retailer Logos Increase Bizrate Survey Response Rate

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Bizrate uses the logos of the retailers who participate in the Bizrate Customer Feedback & Ratings program. The retailer logo increases consumer confidence, and therefore response rate, to the Bizrate surveys. So be sure that your most up-to-date logos are in our system today! Logo upload is easy.

 

How logos are used in the Bizrate survey process

Bizrate® uses two of each retailers’ logos in the survey process and on our websites. Logo usage with respect to the surveys is free. A small logo is used on the survey invitations (free) and on our site in the comparison shopping search engine results.; and a bigger logo for the surveys and on our sites.

Uploading your logos

Please see the screen shot below for the specifications for the logos. To upload the logos:

  2. Click on the “Account Management” tab.
  3. Click on “Logo Manager” to get to the screen below.
  4. Click on “Submit/Edit Logos” to upload.

 

It may take 48 hours for your logo to be reviewed and approved or rejected. If it is rejected, then you will receive an email notice. Rejection typically happens is the image is outside of the required parameters.
