In 2024, businesses had to send an average of <strong>17 reminders<\/strong> to get just one review, up from 16 reminders in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s behind this trend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Customers are busier:<\/strong> With their inboxes flooded with emails and texts every day, it\u2019s easy for your review requests to get lost in the noise or ignored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More selective customers:<\/strong> People now carefully choose where they leave reviews. They don\u2019t review every business they interact with \u2013 only the ones that really stand out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete evaluation of experience:<\/strong> Sometimes, customers want to make sure they&#8217;re truly satisfied with a product or service before sharing their thoughts. They might want to test it out for a while or see how it holds up over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not wanting to share publicly:<\/strong> Some people feel a bit nervous about sharing their opinions publicly. They might worry about what others will think or feel uncomfortable with the idea of their review being out there for everyone to see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forgetfulness and distractions:<\/strong> Even happy customers can forget to leave feedback unless reminded. As life gets busy, things slip through the cracks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the biggest takeaway for businesses like yours is that one review request isn\u2019t enough anymore. You need to understand these reasons to craft friendly, persistent reminders to get noticed and collect those valuable reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year-1024x518.jpg\" alt=\"Average review reminders by year.\" class=\"wp-image-59860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year-1024x518.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year-768x388.jpg 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year-810x409.jpg 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year-1140x576.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/average-review-reminders-by-year.jpg 1284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-email-vs-sms-which-is-more-effective-for-follow-ups\">Email vs. SMS: Which is more effective for follow-ups?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to reminding customers to leave reviews, businesses usually rely on two main channels: email and SMS. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email is the go-to choice for most businesses, accounting for <strong>60%<\/strong> of review requests. It\u2019s affordable and allows for personalization, so you can write a heartfelt message or add specific details about the <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/customer-experience\/\">customer\u2019s experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, SMS drives higher engagement, with a <strong>38% <\/strong>response rate compared to <strong>27% <\/strong>for email, even though it&#8217;s used for only <strong>40%<\/strong> of review requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, SMS isn\u2019t as effective as it used to be, with click rates slipping from <strong>8% in 2023 to 6% in 2024<\/strong>. This drop could be due to customers getting tired of too many messages or being cautious about spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the best approach? Using both <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/sms-vs-email-review-requests-2025\/\">email and SMS review requests<\/a> strategically can yield the best results. Email is great for building long-term relationships, while SMS works well for quick reminders that prompt immediate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-1024x662.png\" alt=\"Rates of email vs. SMS review requests.\" class=\"wp-image-59862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-1024x662.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-1536x993.png 1536w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-2048x1324.png 2048w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-810x524.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Email-requests-vs-SMS-requests-1140x737.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-industries-rely-more-on-review-request-follow-ups\">Which industries rely more on review request follow-ups?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some industries need to remind customers to leave reviews more often than others. Birdeye\u2019s <strong>State of Online Reviews 2025<\/strong> report found that businesses in Beauty &amp; Wellness, Finance, and Real Estate send more reminders than initial requests. But why do these industries rely so heavily on follow-ups?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all comes down to the nature of their services. Unlike buying a product online, these industries involve more complex decisions and longer-term experiences. Let&#8217;s break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Less urgency:<\/strong> Services in these industries often don\u2019t prompt immediate feedback. Therefore, customers may not feel compelled to leave a review right after a solan visit or financial consultation, as the impact of these services may take time to materialize.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complex experiences:<\/strong> Buying a house or investing in a financial product involves a lot of deliberation and consideration. Customers might need time to process their experience before sharing feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long evaluation periods:<\/strong> With services like these, customers often wait to see how things play out before deciding whether to leave a review. Follow-ups help ensure that customers eventually share their valuable feedback.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>By sending reminders, businesses in these industries can collect more reviews and build a stronger <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/online-reputation-management\/\">online reputation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-1024x608.png\" alt=\"Industry-wide trends in review requests in 2024.\" class=\"wp-image-59864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-1024x608.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-768x456.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-1536x912.png 1536w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-2048x1216.png 2048w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-810x481.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/INTERNAL-IMAGES-Topic-2-Industry-trends-in-review-requests-1140x677.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-automation-help-you-collect-reviews-efficiently\">How can automation help you collect reviews efficiently?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Collecting reviews can be a challenge, especially when customers need multiple reminders.
