Hi Mark, I'm truly sorry about the long wait. That's not the experience we want anyone to have. I'd like to make this right, so please reach out to me directly. — Anna, owner
FAQ
Should I reply to every review?Yes, ideally. Replies show future customers that you care, and a calm reply to a bad review often matters more to readers than the review itself.
How fast should I reply?Within a day or two is best, especially for negative reviews.
Should I offer a discount in a public reply?Usually no. Offer to make it right and move the details to a private message or call.
Is this tool free?Yes, completely free, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
