Thank you for being here, one quick ask

A gratitude-forward, ultra-short note that thanks the customer for sticking around and asks for just a line or two.

Sometimes the warmest ask is the shortest one, opening with simple thanks before requesting just a line. This gratitude-first approach works because it gives before it asks and keeps the lift almost nonexistent. Grab it, trim or tweak the thanks to sound like you, and send.

Subject
Honestly, thank you {{name}}
Email body
Hi {{name}},

First, thank you for being here. It genuinely means a lot that you chose {{product}} and stuck with it.

If you have thirty seconds, would you tell me in your own words what it has done for you? Even one honest line is plenty. No perfect phrasing required, and a quick video works just as well as typing.

{{link}}

We are a small crew, and a few words from you go further than you would guess. Thank you, either way.
{{sender_name}}
The placeholders

Swap these in for your own details

{{product}}Your product, service, or business name.
{{sender_name}}Your name. It also becomes the From name and the reply-to address.
{{link}}The link to where they leave their words. It becomes the button in the email.
