Honest feedback is welcome whether the experience was positive, mixed, or something we should improve. Optional prompt: Was the product page missing any detail that would have helped? Review link: {{review_link}} Thanks, {{store_name}}

SMS / short message version

Hi {{customer_first_name}}, thanks for your {{store_name}} order. If you have had time to try lamp, textile, shelf, or room accent, an honest review would help us improve: {{review_link}}. Positive, mixed, and critical feedback are all welcome.

Use SMS only when you have appropriate consent and unsubscribe handling for your jurisdiction and messaging tool.

Review request guardrails

  • Send only after the customer has actually received or accessed the product.
  • Ask for honest feedback, not a five-star review.
  • Make support available when something went wrong.
  • Do not filter customers based on whether they seem happy.
  • Disclose any incentive clearly if your business uses one, and follow platform rules.

Why this wording works

ask a neutral improvement question after a return. It keeps the ask direct while respecting that real customer feedback may be positive, mixed, or critical.

No fake claims: Use actual customer feedback only. Do not display reviews, testimonials, user counts, or ratings that are not real and permissioned.
