What percentage of your buyers leave you reviews?

[mayasayvanova]

I just noticed they have that statistics in the new analytics (I know they had kind’a had it before, but it wasn’t that clear). For me, it’s 67% of my buyers left me reviews. So I was just wondering is that an average number, do you guys have more or less?

To encourage my buyers to leave me reviews, I add this sentence to the delivery message (after I’ve told them that they can contact me with any questions or concerns about the order, of course):

Alternatively, if you are happy with my work, I’d appreciate it if you mark the order as complete and leave a Fiverr review.

I never say “leave a good review”. A few times it has backfired and people have left bad reviews. Sometimes they would leave a 4 stars review. But I figure I can learn from the feedback and at least the ones who are happy do leave great reviews.

So I was just wondering if this sentence is something that’s really working or if 67% is just an average percentage for review-leaving.

Thanks for your help!

My all time review percentage is 72%.
In the beginning I used to request reviews and tried various methods but I haven’t done that in a long time. My review percentage has stayed consistent throughout and from other sellers I think somewhere between 60-80% is the average.

92%.

It ALL depends on your concluding remarks upon delivery.
(Mind you, I DO NOT ask by buyers for a review, BUT there’s always ways to phrase a statement so that you get them to think about it and have them act upon it)

When buyers who don’t leave a review come back for another order I tax them by not giving them some advantages I would normally grant them. It’s kind of a you-did-not-leave-a-review-tax.

97%… I think if you are beginner then yes you need to send these type of messages because you are in need of reviews and to build your profile.

Love that lol! 🙂 most of my return stop leaving reviews after the first couple of orders, I feel it’s kind of ‘I already said what I had to say’

How do you deal with that?

[mayasayvanova]

Ok, I feel bad now! It’s obviously on the lower end 😦 must do something about that

[zubairfb]

92% and I do ask them in polite way… “It will be great if you could rate the order”…

[deesajn]

68% and I don’t care any more.

What about this “if you like the end product consider leaving feedback” does this sentence violate the fiverr terms and conditions ?

So asking for a review violates Fiverr’s terms and conditions?

When I was beginner yeah, I send these type of messages “Hi sir, if your like my work give me a feedback so I’ll improve my service” that message always give me 5 Star rating + excellent feedback but now I’m not sending these type of messages.

[dianagrigore]

89%. I never ask for reviews.
You want to add a review, be my guest. You don’t want to add a review, it’s ok as well.
I don’t always remember to review the things I bought online so I understand 🙂

It really depends on the amount of orders.

I once had a bigger project where I agreed with the buyer to split it into a couple of smaller custom orders, because I don’t do big orders on Fiverr. The left a 5 five star review after each order, until they gave me a 4-point-something review on one.

This was the moment where I immediately stopped working for them. Their project was annoying anyway and there is no place in my daily life for that kind of negativity, lol.

WoW , guys im new to the community here but this is funny ,wish i knew you guys are here earlier ,lol. Anyhow i must agree new users like I really need those reviews at first ,we have 3pic’s and 5 txt box to get the users for a full on paid expiriance

66%. I found it made no different soliciting overtly, subtly or not at all, and I don’t really care. It’s nice to get a glowing review, of course–but equally, I wouldn’t want to encourage someone steaming with anger about my “housewife” style writing to scream about it in a review (Fiverr removed that one as it was a load of bullpoop from an illiterate who couldn’t even attain housewifely English).

“housewife” style writing

Still makes me laugh! That was the funniest review I had ever read! 😆

Yeah, that was all kinds of crazy. I’m pretty long overdue a new crazy to talk about touches wood furiously even my latest bad buyers have turned out to be quite professional and reasonable and we’ve eventually fixed everything (it’s always down to miscommunication, and I can deal with that–but not if the buyer turns into a banshee)

My percentage is 76% ☺️
