Organization and Nature of Operations	Organization and Nature of Operations Bazaarvoice, Inc. (“Bazaarvoice” or the “Company”) is a network that connects brands and retailers to the authentic voices of people where they shop. Bazaarvoice was founded on the premise that the collective voice of the marketplace is the most powerful marketing tool in the world because of its influence on purchasing decisions, both online and offline. The Company’s technology platform collects, curates, and displays consumer-generated content including ratings and reviews, questions and answers, customer stories, and social posts, photos, and videos. This content is amplified across marketing channels, including category/product pages, search, brand sites, mobile applications, in-store displays, and paid and earned media, where it helps clients generate more revenue, market share, and brand affinity. The Company also helps clients leverage insights derived from consumer-generated content to improve marketing effectiveness, increase success of new product launches, improve existing products and services, effectively scale customer support, decrease product returns, and enable retailers to launch and manage on-site advertising solutions and site monetization strategies.
