Dear [CLIENT]:
You’ve reached a new milestone in your business since you started working with us! We’d like to offer you the opportunity to apply for our Success Story Program. If accepted, we may feature your story on our blog, in our social media, or in marketing and PR materials at the local, state, and national levels.
The program is entirely optional, and whether or not you apply will not affect your access to our services.
Here are a few examples of the stories we’ve featured in the past:
