johnalet Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hello everyone, I have it in mind to reach out to my old contacts on Fiverr; those who at one time bought my gig and those who only messaged to enquired about it but never bought it. My intention is to remind them of the services I offer in case they have task related to the gigs. So my question is; does doing this also violates Fiverr's ToS? Remember, these are contacts that some have ordered for my gig before. Thank you as I await your response 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If they report you for spam, you could get your messaging disabled, or your account banned. Yes, they're old contacts, but unless they've asked you to send them a reminder, you'd be sending them unsolicited messages, and that's not allowed. 9 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't spam your buyers, anyway. It's not a good way of marketing. What you can do instead, if you have access to Seller Plus, is to send out coupons to your best buyers, to get them to return. But I would strongly recommend that you don't reach out to previous buyers with anything unless they ask you for it. 7 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you stopped hitting him, and messaged him. However like they said, it is spam. But you are using "Knock" incorrectly. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it once in a Norwegian movie from the 60s, where they made fun of the american police being a bit trigger happy. The local "sherrif" fired his shotgun at the ceiling, yelled "yes sir" and put on his hat. (Our police wasn't even armed regularly until just a few years ago, and it's still being debated if they should have access to firearms or not without keeping it locked in a safe in the back of the car and having to ask the central for permission before taking it out - just for a bit of context on Norwegian culture lol) @newsmike Edited August 30, 2021 by smashradio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashradio Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Just now, newsmike said: The Vikings would not recognize the place. This is true. But then again, regular people can't carry firearms either in most cases. If you carried one to the store (a buddy of mine in Texas will wear his magnum to the supermarket, for whatever reason) you'd be arrested. Unless you shoot the police before they have time to get their weapon permission, that is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you, one tends to be a bit more polite in settling a dispute when both parties are strapped. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo316 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Is it allowed to reach out to past clients to let them know about a new gig, extra or offer discounted services? If allowed, does anyone do this? Is it profitable? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwriter Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It's risky. Some sellers do it and don't get into trouble, but unless the previous client explicitly told you that they want to be informed about your new gigs, extras, or discounts, it's an unsolicited message. If just one client reports you for sending them an unsolicited message, you could get an account warning. 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above is from the Terms of Service at the bottom of the Fiverr main page under Violations. 8 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandmedics Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It's allowed but you have do it in a very sensitive way because buyer's get furious when you contact them pinching your new offer to them while some will gladly place an order. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animie_video Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Well, I must say that it depends what kind of relation you had with your client. Like in my case, I have few clients who like to be very "To the point" and most of our conversation is about just the order, while few of them ask what else do I do or can provide and say that they might need them in future. So, I contact such clients later on. Makes sense, right? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
