How To Ask Parents For A Review?

[ihop]

Enrollment is low for me right now and id like to ask parents on the newsletter to like the Facebook page, review us on care.com, refer friends etc.

How can I word it in a casual but persuasive way without offering an incentive?

Any advice is appreciated. I'm only 1/3 full now

Offer a bonus / discount, but only after the new child has been by you at least 3 - 6 months.

for care.com, I usually ask parents at about the 6 month mark. I usually send an email sweetly requesting a review, and make sure I link the page for them, so they don't have to go searching. I have never had a parent say no, they are more than happy to help.

On FB, I am currently offering a $50 credit to families who refer a full time child that enrolls for at least 3 months.
