The online market is becoming increasingly competitive, and it is crucial for stores to adopt techniques to stand out. The case of CentralAr is an example of this.
Despite being a leader and reference in the air conditioning sales segment, with over 33 years of experience, the company still faced challenges and needed an increase in sales, as well as an improvement in its review platform and customer service. It was for this reason that, in early 2022, CentralAr entered into a partnership with Vurdere, which has been a success ever since.
History of the Partnership
"We were looking for a modern and technological tool that would combine good usability for customers to write reviews and bring more engagement and visibility to new audiences, instilling confidence in those browsing the website. When reading a review, they should feel represented by the content, helping them make a decision to purchase the product.
We decided to partner with Vurdere due to the trust conveyed by their sales and technical team throughout the negotiation and presentation of features and functionalities. We were also aligned with Vurdere's vision for future technological advancements, as well as the integration with the customer's social network.
We started the partnership by implementing the Social Expressions and Social Reviews tools. These tools not only allow customers to evaluate the purchased product and ask questions, which we can directly answer within the platform but also enable them to mark that they already own or would like to own the product. All of this is seamlessly integrated with their social network, where the algorithm identifies other customers with similar profiles browsing the same product and displays recommendations with the closest match. The implementation of these tools was transparent to the user, without any issues that hindered the project's progress. Moreover, the Vurdere technical team was extremely efficient from start to finish.
The experience provided by Vurdere, involving comments and reviews within the social network, generates great engagement and security for customers. It highlights the strengths of each product and the customer's experience with CentralAr.com.
We have been in partnership for almost two years now, and it is impressive how Vurdere always seeks to innovate, improve the tools, and present these improvements in a simple and clear manner to us. It is also worth noting that their result presentations are very effective in showcasing the progress of reviews, comments, and customer engagement, all accompanied by excellent customer service!"– Pedro Augusto Lopes | Innovation Coordinator
