In this quick, but super handy blog post I’m going to give you a free and effective email template for if you’re wondering how to ask a customer to remove negative feedback on Amazon.
So let’s get into it…
Someone has left you a negative customer review on your listing and it’s affecting sales. This could be due to a problem with your product, your listing communication, or you’ve just been unlucky enough to have sold to an unreasonable or cranky customer (unfortunately, this always happens at some point).
What should you do?
I’ll assume you are going to do the usual due diligence by quickly identifying and rectifying any issues with your product with the help of your supplier, and pre-empting any issues in your listing copy (without affecting your rich marketing language and scaring off your customers).
But first you need to urgently stop the leak!
Asking a customer to remove their negative feedback can be an effective way to solve the problem, if only while you fix any bigger issues.
Here’s a template for the email and how you could potentially turn the problem around to your advantage…
