Can Etsy please make an option for customers to shut off review reminders? Someone left a review that mentioned she didn't like leaving reviews. This is a real issue for some people.
Review reminders and other pesky pop ups are very very annoying. The discerning Etsy customer visits the site for a specific reason, knowing exactly what they want, and when hassled can be extremely annoyed. So annoyed, in fact, that they may leave Etsy and look elsewhere, or knock a star off because they feel pressured. (Also, off topic I know, but when I enter a search, for example a red dress, I want to see a red dress not a blue one or a red coat.)
I agree 100%.
Are you sure that review is because Etsy goaded them into leaving it and not because they couldn't just leave stars and had to write 5 words? To me it sounds like the latter.
She said. I don't like leaving reviews. There should be a way for the customer to be able to shut them off if they irritate them.
I don't like leaving reviews is the 5 word minimum for a review.
I have no problem leaving the stars, but mostly have no desire to write 5 words and have noticed that people who object to having to comment lots of times leave exactly 5 words to express their displeasure.
Personally, I find being badgered for a review extremely annoying.
When I'm exceptionally delighted by a superb creation or incredible service, I'll likely post a review. The same goes - but in the negative, of course - it the item is a forgery or fraud or takes a month too long to arrive.
Nothing else is worth my time reviewing. Supplies and mass-produced items that may be just fine, but rather "meh" go uncommented.
FWIW, it's not just Etsy that badgers. Amazon has repeatedly asked me to review a furnace thermostat. Yep, it works. Can't say it motivates me to heap praise on anyone anywhere.
I find the pop up reminding me to add to my cart an item I favorited, and doing it over and over again until the only way I can get it to stop it to unfavorite the item. It's totally irritating and I fear that it will be so to my potential customers as well. : ((
