MONTCLAIR, N.J., Sept. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Online customer reviews have a huge influence on how people perceive a product, service or company; on their willingness to try it; even on its visibility in search engines. Yet many marketers and business owners are still convinced that reviews "just happen."

The Marketer's Guide to Customer Reviews by Jon Hall upends the conventional wisdom. This first-of-its-kind book teaches marketers and business owners how to turn online customer reviews into an addressable marketing channel, and why they should get started--now.

Written by the founder of Grade.us, the leading "review funnel" solution for marketers, The Marketer's Guide to Customer Reviews draws on decades of in-the-trenches experience, as well as the latest research and best practices for reviews across sites and industries.

"This book is so timely," says Cheryl Conner of Forbes.com. "Research is increasingly showing the role customer reviews play in the sales and marketing world. Jon Hall's book is spot-on, and should be required reading for every professional who is running a business or selling a product or service, whether online or off, within our current connected world."

"Reviews are today's social proof and can make or break a business," says John Jantsch, speaker and author of Duct Tape Marketing. "The Marketer's Guide to Customer Reviews is one of the first publications to show you how to take advantage of this increasingly important channel."
