#2 Personalizing the Feedback Request By Replacing the Google Map With an Image

Another great technique for personalizing your feedback request email is to replace the Google map with something more recognizable to your customers. A photograph of the business owner, or of the store front, helps customers make an immediate connection between the business and the feedback request.

How Do I Do This?

1. From the Settings –> Email Templates page scroll down and click the Select Image button in the Email Picture section
