10 Creative Ways to Ask for Customer Reviews (That Actually Get Results!)

by Dec 9, 2024News

You know how important customer reviews are, and you probably often think of asking and often don't.  But asking for reviews shouldn't be hard or awkward. It should be just a standard part of doing business.  So, with that in mind, I thought it would be a good time of year (after all, the holiday season is busier for most) to come up with 10 creative ways you can ask your clients for reviews that don’t rely on the usual “please leave us a review” message.  Here’s how you can make it easy, fun, and effective with 10 Creative Ways to Ask for Customer Reviews (That Actually Get Results!)

 

1

Add a Review Link to Your Emailed Invoice

After sending an invoice, add a friendly reminder and the review link directly in the email. For example: “Thanks for your business! If you’re happy with our service, please take a moment to leave a review [here].” It’s an easy ask while they’re already engaged.
2

QR Code on Printed Receipts

Add a QR code to your printed receipts that links directly to your review page. Clients can scan the code with their phones on the go, making it super easy for them to leave a review.
3

Add a Review Reminder to Your Email Signature

Make it part of your ongoing communication. Add a short, non-intrusive reminder in your email signature: “Happy with our service? Leave us a review [link].” It's subtle and visible in every email you send
4

Include a Call to Action on Your Business Cards

Print a small note on the back of your business cards that says, “Loved our service? Scan to leave a review!” Include a QR code linking to your review page. Your clients will appreciate the easy access when they need to refer back to you.

Request Reviews By Text (SMS)

Send a text or an sms after a successful service or interaction, thanking them for their time. Include a direct review link and say something like, “It was great working with you! A review from you would help others discover how we can help them too!”
6

Create Custom “Review Request” Thank-You Cards

After a project is completed or a service is delivered, send a handwritten or personalised thank-you card with a subtle nudge: “We’d love to hear about your experience with us. Please take a moment to leave a review [link].”
7

Promote Reviews on Social Media

Post a story or a feed post on social media asking your followers to leave a review if they’ve worked with you. Make it interactive—“If we’ve worked together, drop a review and let us know what you thought!” Include the review link in your bio or a swipe-up link.

Ask for a Photo with Their Experience

Instead of asking for a review, ask your clients to share a photo of themselves using your product or service. For example, “We’d love to see how you’re enjoying [our service/product]! Share a photo of your experience and we’ll feature it on our website/social media. Plus, it helps others see how we can help them too!” You can even make it fun by creating a hashtag that clients can use when posting on social media, making the request feel like an engaging, interactive experience.

Set Up a "Review Request" Sticker in Your Shop

If you run a physical store or service location, place a well-designed sticker on the counter or at the checkout that encourages customers to leave a review. You can say, "Loved your visit? Scan this code to share your experience!" This makes it clear and easy for them to take action in person.
