When selling on Amazon, one thing may impact
your performance more than anything else: product reviews. Not only do they
govern how the platform ranks your listing, but they also influence whether
people decide to make a purchase.
Managing and maximizing these product reviews is
an essential component in creating a successful Amazon sales space. One of the
best ways to keep things in order is through email automation.
Why Product Reviews Matter
Amazon is the largest online marketplace in the
world. Selling your products on a site this size means your product can be
potentially viewed and purchased by a much larger number of people than you
would be able to generate on your own.

Product Reviews and Email Automation

email automation can come to the rescue.
As soon as an order gets shipped, you can
automate an email to the customer providing attachments and information
including, product instructions, insights, and product care. You can also
include contact details, asking the customer to contact you should they have
any concerns, questions, or issues. This strategy can help you prevent negative
product reviews from showing up on your listing.
The delivery of the product does not necessarily
mean the end of your efforts. Depending on the product and average shipping
times, you can automate an email to be sent shortly after the product has
arrived. The email is to check that everything is okay with the product and ask
that the customer leave a product review. It is important that you NEVER ask
the customer to leave a positive review. Asking directly for a positive review
goes against Amazon’s Terms of Service and

review about their experience with the product.
