Know someone who'd love [BUSINESS NAME]?
Email body
Hi [First Name],
Quick one from me.
If you've enjoyed visiting us, there's probably someone in your life who'd love it too — a friend, a family member, a colleague with kids (or a dog!).
We're asking our favourite customers — that's you — to spread the word. And we want to make it worth your while.
Here's the deal:
Refer a friend who visits, and you both get [INSERT REWARD — e.g. "£5 off your next visit," "a free class for each of you," "a thank-you gift on your next booking."].
All they need to do is mention your name when they book, or use this link: [REFERRAL LINK]
Referrals are how small businesses like ours grow — not through big ad budgets, but through people who trust us enough to tell their friends. That means everything.
Thank you.
