#4: Loox

Loox is a Shopify app that helps you import customer reviews into your store.

Loox is a very important app to have installed on your store. The reason is that it plays a major psychological factor in your website.

You see, most store visitors, before they become customers, look through your store for social proof in an attempt to justify an action they are expected to take.

Some others just use this information to anchor their overall brand perception,

And most just fear missing out on major, life-changing opportunities as your reviews may imply.

Having reviews is also a part of the format your store is meant to follow for optimal conversions.

Research made by the Spiegle Research Centre noted a 270% likelihood of purchasing a product with at least 5 reviews compared to a product with no reviews.

In all having customer reviews is important as it can grow your store’s trust and credibility.

Loox doesn’t only allow you to import reviews to your store, they also offer you the following:

A reward program for every customer who submits an image or video review to your store.
Beautiful templates that match your store theme — including carousels and badges.
The opportunity to get more sales with one-click referrals and social proof upsells.
Reviews syncing to and from Shop App, to other shop apps.
