## The Problem

Just because a product exists in your product catalog doesn’t mean it’s active. Here are a few examples of inactive products that might be problematic for your business to promote:

**Out of Stock or Discontinued Products** – Products irrelevant now or in the future.

**Sample Products** – They have a product ID, but aren’t really products.

**Seasonal Products** – Items to promote in the Winter, not the Summer.

It makes no sense to send review requests for these ‘products’ and promote them to your shoppers.

## The Solution

Yotpo’s Product Blacklist lets you temporarily or permanently exclude products from review requests and distribution channels.

When you add a product to the Blacklist, **no review requests will be sent out for that product**. **Reviews for the product will be excluded from automated placements** in the Reviews Carousel, Dynamic Yotpo Ads, Automated Social Push, Visual UGC Gallery and more.

Products can easily be added and removed to the blacklist by uploading a CSV in the Yotpo Admin.

## What it means

It means your marketing just got a lot **more advanced**.

With Yotpo, you already have full customization for your [review request emails](https://www.yotpo.com/blog/subject-line-review-requests/) and on-site widgets. Now you control which products you get reviews for and where you promote your reviews.
