Abstract
Checking online reviews before purchasing has become a no-brainer today, with

86% of consumers reading reviews before visiting a local business (BrightLocal,

2018). More than just a way of knowing what to expect, reviews can also encourage

consumption (Chevalier & Mayzlin 2006), or encourage consumers not to consume:

43% of consumers will not use a business if it has less than 4 stars (BrightLocal,

2018). Previous research demonstrated that reading online reviews before

purchasing is a way to reduce purchase risk by seeking more information from a

third party (Chakravarty, Liu, and Mazumdar 2010). Consumers appreciate being

able to read Online Customer Reviews (OCR) because they find them to be a more

credible source of information than the usual sales pitch (Dewenter and Heimeshoff

2015). More than useful, customer reviews are also extremely powerful, being a

one-to-many means of communication, between one writer and many readers

(Litvin et al., 2008).
