Follow-up reminder template

Copy three follow-up reminder variants, with timing, subject lines and practical advice for an honest request.

When to send it

Once, about a week after the first request; stop if they decline.

Subject lines and opening

  • One follow-up on your feedback
  • A quick question about your experience with {business}

The complete request

Subject: One follow-up on your feedback

Hi {name},

A quick follow-up on my note about {project}. If you still want to share your experience, the link is below. If now is not a good time, no reply is needed.

{collection_link}

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

The shorter note

Hi {name} — A quick follow-up on my note about {project}. If you still want to share your experience, the link is below. If now is not a good time, no reply is needed.

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? A quick follow-up on my note about {project}. If you still want to share your experience, the link is below. If now is not a good time, no reply is needed.

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

{sender}

Why this works

A clear exit reduces pressure and makes the reminder respectful.

Avoid this mistake

Repeated reminders can feel coercive. Do not chase a positive response.

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.
