How do you get more reviews?

[smashradio]

I get a fair amount of reviews, but I’d love to get more. At the moment about 70% of my buyers will leave a review.

I know there’s different opinions about this. Should one ask for reviews when delivering the work, or should one not mention it at all. Should you blatantly ask for a five-star review - or maybe let the buyer know you’d appreciate a positive review of they are happy?

So many opinions, and I’d like to hear your take on this. Do you ask for reviews? Do you just deliver your order without mentioning it? Or something in between?

Personally, I always include a short notice saying something like "If you’re happy with my work I’d greatly appreciate a review. If you for any reason need changes, don’t hesitate to contact me before leaving a review, and I’ll do my very best to help you in any way I can!"
