Getting reviews on shop/listings from customers!

[CouplesTherapyShop]

Hello all!

I recently joined Etsy and have been starting to sell a few items, but have gotten zero reviews so far. Any tips/techniques on getting reviews from customers??? Thanks in advance!

After a sale, try sending a thank you with a link to your review option.  A quick reminder such as, "It helps small businesses when you give a review. Please follow this link to let others know how you feel about your experience with us."

Good luck!

Etsy also prompts them, if they opt in for Etsy to email them. I also send a thank you message plus a little note in the package. Although, I think there's a fine line between gently encouraging and being pushy. Some people do not like to be asked to leave reviews, as I've read on forums and in Etsy seller groups.

I haven't had many sales, but when someone buys something they always leave a 5 star review. What I do is send a note and let them know their order is on its way and even leave a little thank you letter inside whatever you send.(doesn't have to be long) I wouldn't recommend sending them an automatic note asking them to review your product either; it can seem a little pushy.

I think the best way is not to prompt them at all if a customer remains happy leaves a review.

Should thankful for raising this question. As @Greekjewls pointed out customers leave review when they are happy. As a new shopper I tired sending an email, one week after delivery, by indirectly asking review a review if they are happy. I never got single review from those. All the reviews I have are natural and almost all got withing a few days after it is delivered.
