A Quick Guide to Running Your Holiday Review Campaign
Background
Positive reviews help your school grow—and the holidays are the perfect moment to celebrate your teachers while inviting families to share their appreciation.
Here are a few simple ways to make this campaign as effective as possible.
Our Top Tips
⭐ 1. Make It Easy for Families to Leave a Review
Reduce friction and participation will jump. If you use Opus1 Plus, you can generate your Google Review link instantly using the Reputation Management tool. Schools often improve results by:
- Send an email to all customers with a clear ask (we’ve drafted a template for you!)
- Placing a QR code directing to the review link in each lesson room
- Displaying a QR code at the front desk
- Including the review link in lesson follow-ups or newsletters
Note: If you’re not using Opus1 Plus yet and want help setting up an easy review workflow, your Customer Success Manager is happy to walk you through options.
⭐ 2. Encourage Teachers to Introduce the Ask
Invite teachers to mention the review request at the end of a lesson, when they reunite the student with the parent. This natural transition point makes the invitation feel warm, personal, and authentic—not transactional.
A simple script: "If you’ve enjoyed lessons this year, our school is collecting holiday feedback for teachers. A quick review would mean a lot—thank you!"
⭐ 3. Ensure Teachers Receive Credit
Remind families to include their teacher’s name in the review. This helps you track participation and ensures every teacher receives recognition for their impact.
