Hi, CUSTOMER NAME.

I really appreciate the review you left for me! Personal referrals are the number one way my business grows. If you have any family, friends, or neighbors who may be interested in my service, I would be thrilled if you would share your experience with them. Here are a few places to consider sharing: with family & friends via a Facebook post, in a local Facebook group, via text message or email, or on Nextdoor. Here is a link to my personal webpage, where folks can connect directly with me: WEBPAGE LINK.

(OPTIONAL-If you shoot me a screenshot of where you shared a referral, I would love to give you $X off your next order. )
