I would like to gather a few quality reviews for our product, but I've hit a roadblock. Our users haven't opted-in to marketing emails, so I can't directly reach out to ask for feedback. (UK-based company, we'd be breaking GDPR). After launching on PH, it was recommended that we get more reviews to social proof our product that makes sense! But I've seen brands share some questionable reviews on their websites and I'd rather collect 3-4 genuine ones. Right now, I'm thinking of adding a pop-up or banner inside our web app to ask users for feedback, and I'm slowly building a proper marketing email list for the future. Meanwhile, does anyone have any creative (and ethical) ways to quickly collect a few solid reviews? Would love to hear what worked for the PH community!

I often see this tactic on X (where you can create and host your Live Space) + on YouTube. I think that the very first time I saw it when @_maxblade was streaming. Then more and more people started doing it. IMO, it is a good tactic when you have a powerful fanbase/community on a certain platform. Do you think it is a "strong invitation" to participate in upvoting? What other (unusual) tactics can help?
