GURU Beverage is a leading energy drink company known for their clean ingredients, plant-based formulations, and sustainability-first mindset. Founded in Montreal, GURU’s mission is to offer a healthier alternative to conventional energy drinks by using organic ingredients and natural caffeine sources.
With distribution across North America and a growing DTC channel, the brand’s success is built on authenticity and transparency. GURU’s audience values function and purpose, expecting brands to deliver both performance and integrity. As their digital presence grew, so did the need for a scalable review system that aligned with their minimalist team and performance-driven ethos.
Partnering with Thails — a Shopify Plus agency specializing in conversion and retention — GURU sought to enhance its post-purchase experience through authentic, high-performing customer reviews.
Before partnering with Stamped — a move recommended and led by Thails — GURU Beverage faced three core challenges:
“Our decision to switch was primarily cost-driven — our previous [review solution] was no longer a sustainable solution for a lean, fast-moving team like ours. The transition to Stamped was smooth and straightforward, with very little disruption to our workflows.”
GURU Beverage Team
GURU Beverage partnered with Thails, a Shopify Plus agency specializing in conversion and retention optimization, to implement Stamped Reviews. Together, they developed a scalable, automated review strategy that required minimal hands-on management from the brand.
With Stamped Reviews, GURU was able to:
“Collecting reviews directly through email, paired with the $5 incentive, has had a real impact. We’re seeing more customers engaging, leaving higher-quality reviews, and providing useful feedback we can act on. It’s helped us build both trust and social proof in a way that feels authentic.”

The implementation of Stamped for reviews, powered by Thails’ lifecycle strategy, delivered immediate performance gains:
“For any lean team considering Stamped, we’d say it’s a great solution. It’s cost-effective, easy to manage, and delivers results without needing a big internal lift.”
GURU Beverage Team
As a Shopify Plus agency partner, Thails saw Stamped as a direct enabler of better post-purchase engagement. Their role centered on implementation, optimization, and strategy execution.
“Our goal was to make reviews feel like a natural part of the post-purchase experience, not an afterthought. Stamped gave us the flexibility to do that while keeping automation and brand consistency front and center.”
Andre de Freitas, Director at Thails
GURU plans to extend its partnership with Thails and Stamped into Loyalty and Retention initiatives, using customer reviews as the foundation for stronger community engagement. The simplicity of Stamped’s automation has given GURU’s small team the bandwidth to focus on strategic growth rather than manual operations.
