In this final step you are invited to choose the planting project you want to plant your trees with.

Tip 2: Planting limits apply for the time of your participation with ReviewForest. When you reached your planting limit your review forest will be shown inactive to your customers. You can change the planting limit for any of your forests later on. This option can be found under “Change planting settings” for each of your forests.

Congratulations, you have successfully created your new review forest(s)!

You find the overview of the newly created forest(s) inside your account under “Review forests”. Here you can make settings for each of your forests.

You should now start to ask actively for reviews from your customers. Create website widgets based on your forest and include it in your website. Ask for reviews in handing out review cards to your costumers and/or include your ReviewForest email signature into your email program.

There are many ways to ask your customers for reviews. In your ReviewForest account you find all the different options tailored to your forest that can be used by you in your quest to get more reviews.

Plant your first trees

In case you don’t want to wait for your first reviews to show in your review forest you can now plant trees manually.

You find the two options inside the settings for your review forest.

  1. You can plant trees for existing reviews (reviews you received previous to the creation of your review forest).
  2. You can also plant additional trees, regardless of reviews.

Happy Planting!
