Whether you order from mega-online stores or independent retail stores, you may have been compelled to praise or complain about products at some point.

Consumers’ most essential questions about products revolve around the question, “Does the product work for the purpose for which it was created?”

For example, does a shirt fit according to the description’s size? Does a camera take quality pictures? Does the shampoo or conditioner work for your hair type? How long does a matte lipstick last before reapplication? Does this food product arrive fresh and promptly?

These are all questions that most consumers would like to know about products. To provide feedback about products there is an effective way to convey this information to those who rely on honest reviews.

First, explain your product and the purpose for which you bought it. For instance, if you bought a product for an event or to clean your home. Sometimes background details help consumers to decide if they want to buy for the same reason.

Second, explain what you loved most about your product. For example, you can expound on the ease of use, price value, or product quality.

You should write about the features of a product. According to Linnette (2023), speaking about the benefits of the features will engage a reader more than boasting about the features alone.

Third, explain what you found most challenging about this product, if applicable. If you discover no complaints, add any extra information you may want a reviewer to know.

Fourth, offer your input on what could have made the product better. However, if you believe the product is top-notch, then report that.

Fifth, add pictures of the product, especially if you want to display the product before and after assembly. You can also record a short video of the product demonstrating its use.

Finally, review your post before submitting it. You want to ensure it’s free of spelling and technical language errors. Now that I have listed steps to effectively review products, I will also list what not to do.

First, do not include personal information or pictures in your review post that could identify you or anyone else.

Second, only include necessary information that has nothing to do with the product.

Finally, do not use obscene or abusive language, no matter how valid your complaint about a product may be.

If you follow these simple guidelines, you will provide practical and explanatory reviews to help consumers make informed decisions.
