After-project email template

Copy three after-project email variants, with timing, subject lines and practical advice for an honest request.

When to send it

After acceptance and a short period of use.

Subject lines and opening

  • A few words about {project}?
  • A quick question about your experience with {business}

The complete request

Subject: A few words about {project}?

Hi {name},

Now that {project} is in use, would you share what working together was like? A few honest sentences about the process or result would help someone facing a similar brief.

{collection_link}

We only publish with your permission. Thank you,
{sender}

The shorter note

Hi {name} — Now that {project} is in use, would you share what working together was like? A few honest sentences about the process or result would help someone facing a similar brief.

Share here if you would like: {collection_link}

Thank you, {sender}

The context-first request

Hi {name},

If you have two minutes, what should someone considering {business} know about your experience? Now that {project} is in use, would you share what working together was like? A few honest sentences about the process or result would help someone facing a similar brief.

Your own words are best. Publication is optional: {collection_link}

{sender}

Why this works

Ask about a completed deliverable rather than requesting generic praise.

Avoid this mistake

Do not bundle the request with a payment reminder.

Replace every placeholder and choose a channel the recipient expects. ProofWall does not send these messages for you. Email notifications and automated request campaigns are not part of this version.

Keep permission separate

The collection form asks for permission to publish. Never treat a reply to a private message as permission to post their name, company or words. Disclose incentives and material connections; do not ask only for a positive rating.
