Luxury Brands Highly Affected By Customer Reviews
Cleaning up your store’s act is more important than ever in the age of Web 2.0. The Luxury Institute reports that over 84% of consumers who earn more than $150,000 annually regularly visit websites that review and rate retailers and restaurants.

If you are not socially responsible, bet that consumers will gang up on you online.”
