What You Can Do Instead


While incentives are prohibited, you're encouraged to request honest, unbiased feedback from customers. Here are acceptable ways to encourage reviews:

Acceptable Practices
  • Follow up after purchase: Send a polite message through Elexbig's messaging system thanking customers and gently reminding them they can leave a review
  • Include a note in packaging: Add a thank-you card with a message like "We'd love your honest feedback on Elexbig"
  • Deliver excellent service: The most effective way to earn positive reviews is by providing outstanding products, packaging, and customer service
  • Make review process visible: Ensure customers know how to leave reviews without pressuring them

💡 Remember
Reviews should reflect genuine customer experiences, whether positive, neutral, or negative. All feedback is valuable.
Benefits of Authentic Reviews


Maintaining authentic reviews creates lasting value for your brand:

  • Build credibility: Genuine reviews establish trust with potential customers
  • Increase conversions: Shoppers are more likely to purchase when they trust verified customer opinions
  • Gain valuable insights: Honest feedback helps you identify areas for product and service improvement
  • Improve visibility: Products with authentic reviews perform better in Elexbig's search and recommendations
  • Long-term growth: Trust-based relationships with customers lead to repeat purchases and referrals

✨ Pro Tip
Focus on delivering excellent customer service, quality products, and reliable fulfilment. A great experience naturally encourages customers to share positive reviews.
Handling Negative Reviews


Negative reviews are opportunities to demonstrate your professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction.

Best Practices
  • Respond professionally: Address concerns calmly and constructively through Elexbig's messaging system
  • Acknowledge the issue: Show empathy and understanding for the customer's experience
  • Offer solutions: Work to resolve the problem quickly and fairly
  • Learn and improve: Use feedback to identify patterns and make meaningful improvements
  • Keep it public: When appropriate, respond publicly to show other customers you care about resolving issues
What Not to Do
  • Do not retaliate or respond defensively to negative reviews
  • Do not pressure customers to change or remove reviews
  • Do not offer incentives to modify reviews (even after resolving an issue)
  • Do not harass or repeatedly contact customers about their feedback

⚠️ Important
Harassment, retaliation, or pressuring customers to change reviews is a serious violation of Elexbig's policies and may result in immediate account suspension.
When You've Resolved an IssueIf you've successfully resolved a customer's concern, you may:
  • Let them know they have the option to update their review if they wish
  • Thank them for giving you the opportunity to make things right
  • Continue providing excellent service
