Adding Promoted Products to Your Review Request Emails

Goals and Outcomes

Boost customer retention and increase the lifetime value (LTV) of your shoppers by showcasing related products directly in your review request emails. Adding a Promoted Products section helps drive repeat purchases by surfacing items that are relevant, popular, or frequently bought together. Whether you’re suggesting a complementary accessory or featuring a top-rated item, this feature helps turn one-time buyers into loyal customers.

In this article, you’ll learn how to enable and customize the Promoted Products block in your review request emails.

Promoted Products Overview

The Promoted Products section can be easily added to your review request emails. Yotpo’s algorithm will then automatically select products based on the following criteria:

• Related Products - Items that are commonly purchased together with the reviewed product. For example, if a customer purchased a jacket, Yotpo might suggest complementary products like a scarf and gloves.

• Top Rated - Products with the highest star ratings and the most votes.

• Top Selling - The most frequently purchased products in your store.

Each of these metrics carries equal weight. If there’s insufficient data for one metric, Yotpo will use the remaining metrics to populate the section.

Promoted Products can be displayed in the following emails:

• Review request emails

• Review request reminder emails

• Site review automations

• Targeted review request emails for both site and product reviews

Requirements

For Promoted Products to appear in the review request email, the following conditions must be met:

• At least 3 products from your catalog have been purchased in the last 2 weeks.

• The relevant products must have an image. If there aren’t enough products with images, the Promoted Products section will not appear.

• Products must have price information.

• Products must not belong to the same product group.

Note

Blocklisted products may appear in the Promoted Products section of your review request emails.
