A skincare brand went from
14 reviews/month
to 47 reviews/month
in 60 days.
Lumière Skin was collecting reviews through Shopify's default "How did we do?" prompt — a single link buried in the order confirmation email. Most buyers never opened it. Three-star reviewers — the most actionable segment — almost never wrote anything.
The three-star reviews we never used to get — those are now our product roadmap. We reformulated our serum based on feedback we'd been leaving on the table for two years.

FLOW CONFIGURATION · BEST PRACTICE
Klaviyo Operators: Critical Trigger Note
Use Fulfilled Order, not Placed Order, as your flow trigger. Cancelled orders before fulfillment will pollute your feedback data and inflate churn signals. Pulse configures this correctly by default.
