What is “Media Reminder”?
A picture is worth a thousand words. That’s why it’s so important to collect more photo and video reviews, which is so-called “Media Review”.
AlphaReview thus provides the feature to ask reviewers who have not written media reviews to write a media review, which is Media Reminder.
Media Reminder can only be sent if there is a review without media review among the orders that have received the First Review Request.
If you do not want to use this feature, you can easily turn it off. It will be applied to the subsequent orders. Conditions for Media Reminder
