5 legit methods to help you get reviews on Amazon
Reviews are essential for selling on Amazon, and here are a few methods to get them without breaching any rules.
Method 1: Amazon follow up emails
One of the easier ways to get some organic reviews is through follow-up campaigns. These campaigns consist of a sequence of emails sent at certain intervals and that allow you to “persuade” the buyer to leave feedback.
You can set up a campaign and send emails manually, or you can use one of the many Amazon feedback services available online.
Regardless of your choice, keep in mind that you must write the emails according to the community guidelines. This means no compensation for a review and no mentioning of any negative feedback your client has already left.
Method 2: Amazon Vine program
If you’re an Amazon vendor and have a stellar quality product, the Amazon Vine program is a great way to get genuine ratings.
This is an invite-only program in which vendors give their products to shoppers selected by Amazon. These Vine Voices will then write a review on your product and publish it.
Before adhering, know that you can’t remove a Vine review, you will be forbidden from contacting the Vine Voice, and such a review can’t be changed. Most importantly, there is no guarantee that it will be a positive one.
Method 3: Product packaging insert
Another simple method to ask for a review is to use product package inserts. These are small cards with your company name and brand story on them; at the end of the story, ask your buyer to leave a review.
Method 4: Reach out Amazon top reviewers
Getting a review from an Amazon top reviewer would mean higher chances to have it approved without delay. To reach them, you can go on the Amazon’s Top Customer Reviewers page and create yourself a file with all listed emails.
Alternatively, there are online tools that do the same thing for you.
Once you have the list, write a nice email with a few things about your product and a link to it. Remember that according to the current Amazon rules, you can’t give your product for free, offer a very high discount, or offer any compensation for the review, so you’ll have to pay attention to how you write the email.
You can either hope that those interested in your product will buy and review it, or find an alternative and face any potential consequences. If you don’t want to have your account banned, we suggest the former.
Method 5: Get from friends of friends
The last method to get reviews on Amazon is from friends of friends. There are many ways to do this. For instance, you could ask your friends to put you in contact with their friends; give them money to buy your product and review it.
Just remember not to ask for a review someone living in the same city as you do. Amazon will usually look with suspicion at such reviews and may delete them.
