Send Automated Reminder Review Request Emails

Plans: Pro, Enterprise Platforms: Shopify

Overview



Even after you built a perfect, on-brand, and engaging review request email campaign, you still might see low open and response rates. Only some people have the time or willingness to leave a review right away, and even if they intend to leave or provide feedback on their recent purchase at some point in the future, they might lose the notification in their inbox or forget about it over time.

AfterShip Reviews reminder email feature allows you to schedule reminder review request emails after the initial request for feedback to customers who didn’t fill out the survey.
