ModernComment is a social media marketing platform that makes it easy for businesses to enable their customers to recommend them online through social media. Word-of-mouth has always been the best form of advertising and ModernComment helps businesses grow their word-of-mouth referrals. Many companies ask their customers “would you recommend us to a friend?” We turn “would you recommend” into “I have recommended.” Using our proprietary technology, customers answer a few quick questions and their selections are automatically turned into a published recommendation. The survey takes less than 60 seconds, has no typing required, and is accessible via any device.
