Literature Review:
Popescu and Etzioni [1] studied the extraction of semantic orientation and
product features from such textual product reviews. Constant et al.
Dellarocas [2] discussed promises and challenges of online WOM networks.
Constant et al [3] on the other hand studied the use of expressive content in
various languages based on Amazon product reviews. The effects of Word-Of-
Mouth (WOM) in online markets were also studied by various works.
Chevalier and Mayzlin [4] studied the effect on sales of WOM-processes based on
online book reviews.
The concept of word-of-mouth (WOM) has been part of the marketing literature
since the middle of the 20th century (Katz and Lazarsfeld, 1955) [5]
but gained additional importance with the rise of the internet. Because the
conventional limitation to a local social network and the fleeting character of
WOM yielded a broad reach and long term accessibility (Breazeale, 2009; Chen
and Xie, 2008; Davis and Khazanchi, 2008; Duan et al., 2008a) [6].

Future work:
According to my opinion, build an research mechanism that increase the
efficiency of reviews to help customers in decision making process & According to
their best suggestions, we update our product. We make changes according to
their necessity.
Also we need to allow to compare the reviews of the customers & the best
reviews is published on our social media pages like Facebook, twitter, Instagram,
Linkedin etc.
And when we are asking for reviews to customers, then remember one thing that
we ask question in a very smooth manner & Obviously because we don’t reply to
every review so give some time to reviews to show your careness to customers.
