Email #3: Request Feedback and a Positive Review
Interval: Typically sent 16 days after order was placed. Your customer will have been using your product for a couple of weeks and hopefully will have raised any concerns with you.
Purpose: This email’s main purpose is for you to reach out to the customer to get them to leave a positive review for your product.
Call To Action: There are two schools of thought on how to best request customer feedback for reviews.
– The first method is to send an automated email which asks the customer to leave a review. This is great as it’s fully automated but runs the risk of encouraging a user who doesn’t like your product to leave a negative review.
– The second method is to ask them to email you feedback directly. Then if it is positive feedback you can manually reply to their email and ask them if they’d be so kind as to leave it as a review. This way you are only encouraging positive reviews for your product.
IMPORTANT: We encourage all users to use the second method which we’ve found encourages great reviews and minimizes the chance of reputation damaging negative reviews. The choice though, as always, is yours.
