If your business is local, the opinion of foreigners could easily change the opinion of the local people. The Internet has made it very easy to access a wide range of information from all over the world. The implication is that if the local opinion of your business is low and a foreigner has a positive opinion about your business, a single post on the Internet seen by just one local person could quickly spread. The same applies to if you have a positive impression locally, but a foreigner has something bad to say about your company. Thus, even if you are just a local store, you should try as much as possible to have a generally positive impression both locally and internationally. One of the ways you can build a positive opinion locally and internationally is through an international review system, where people can review your company.
