The 10-second staff script that gets reviews in Fort Erie

What to say when handing customers the NFC puck

Bad script (used by 80% of Fort Erie businesses):
"If you have time, we'd love a review!"

Problem: No urgency. No benefit. Conversion: 3–6%.

Good script (tested across Garrison Rd, Central Ave, Niagara Blvd, Dominion Rd):
"Quick favour — tap your phone here to share your experience. Takes 10 seconds and helps local families find us. Thank you!"

Why it works:

  • "Quick favour" → reciprocity trigger (they just bought something)
  • "10 seconds" → removes objection
  • "Helps local families" → community framing (powerful in Fort Erie)

Conversion: 18–24% tap-through rate (tested with 22 Fort Erie merchants Oct 2024).

Advanced: The Fort Erie "social proof" variant

"You're customer #340 this month — tap here to see why Fort Erie rates us 4.8 stars!"

Use this when you have 50+ reviews. Conversion: 26–32%.
