Email 4 (Day +8): Review Request — “How was your Daralbeida?”
Email 5 (Day +14): Follow-up — “Quick reminder + 10% thank you”

Risk Mitigation

Slow reviews (<15 by Day +20): Increase Early Reviewer budget + send 2nd Vine early
High ACoS (>50% for 10+ days): Pause underperforming keywords + shift to Exact match
Stockout risk (<200 units): Expedite next shipment + temporarily reduce PPC spend
Low conversion (<8% after 30 days): Review A+ Content + images + bullet points
