Absolutely. Now, I think sometimes we get scared to ask people to review us or to do a testimonial or things like that, because we get embarrassed about it. But it's so important to do it. And it's such a game changer. And I don't know about you, but I'm big on reviews when I go to something or someone or anything, I always check the reviews before I opt into them. Are you like that?
Amanda Barr 0:41
Absolutely. Because, you know, it's that social proof that we all want, right? So it's important to make sure that your studios, Google reviews, Facebook reviews are all up to date and looking fantastic. So what are some great ways that we can ask our clients, right? Because that's the key, right? We have to ask, we
Rebecca Liu Brennan 0:56
do have to ask, and look, I always do this as a once a year thing. And we have the Business Awards once a year as well. So I always try and kind of do it before those business awards entries go in. And we say, Hey, guys, we'd love you to give us a Google review or a Facebook review, our best one, we're gonna give it $200 uniform voucher to now I know not everyone can afford that necessarily, but it's such a game changer, the amount of people that then give us reviews crazy. And you know, they're beautiful and amazing. And then we've got a heap of new reviews on our
Speaker 1 1:30
I love that I really like asking for them after the concert as well, like the day after the concert, you know, because when people are on a higher, they've loved what you've done, or you know, whether it's, you know, after an event when people are like really feeling the love towards you, I think that's the absolute prime time and be honest with people, Hey, we're a small business, and we're trying to grow our business. You know, as a small business, we really rely on Google reviews. So it would mean the world to us, if you would leave us a review. You know, a competition is a great way to do it. But also just don't be afraid to ask. Yeah,
Speaker 2 2:00
absolutely. And if you see one of your parents, maybe write something nice about your studio, or they write you a nice email, always like go back to them and say, hey, thanks so much. Would you mind? Us? I'm writing this as a Google review. Like, absolutely. Don't be scared to ask that stuff. I think that sometimes we get scared. But we don't need to know
Speaker 1 2:17
absolutely not one of our clients has a great idea, one of our members of studio growth club, and he puts it on, you know, on the desk on the front desk. Yeah. And whilst people are waiting for the uniform purchase, he asked them like, why the child that's always their process, while the child's trying on the uniform in the changing rooms, or whatever that is. He's like, Hey, why I've got you, would you mind, you know, scan this QR code and leave us a review? While you're waiting? I actually think he might give them like a $5 off the uniform if they do it or something like that. That's a great idea. Yeah, as well. Because yeah, they're about to like make sense, right? So it's a great way just to
Speaker 2 2:54
ask for it. Yeah. So don't be scared to ask take action on this. You could even like do an email right now to all of your parents saying, Hey, guys, we'd love to get some Google reviews. Here's the link like that is going to take you you know, less than a minute to write. And even if you get through reviews, it's totally worth it. Absolutely.
