Questions you’ll want to ask as you design your subdimension strategy include:

WHAT TO COLLECT

‍What will be most useful to shoppers? What topics will benefit from the focus and structure of subdimensions? How can I use subdimensions to help shoppers find the reviews that will be most valuable to them? How many should I collect?‍

HOW TO DISPLAYWhich subdimensions should be aggregated in the review summary? Shown along with the individual reviews? Used to power filters? And how should I configure the filters?

‍INTERNAL USE

‍How do I make use of subdimensions internally for product and marketing insights, or perhaps for CRM enhancement? What additional data should I collect for these applications?
