Referral Program

Guys & Gals,

I know many of you frequently tell your friends and co-workers to come into the local shops instead of just buying at Wal-Mart or online or whatever. I appreciate it and I would like to find some way to reward customers who refer business to our local shop.

Any ideas on how that could be done? Or what you would like ?

Thanks,

How bout this....everytime I tell someone to go your store instead of Walmart, you'll give me a DM4? Fair?






(but seriously, maybe like a discount or something)

have every new customer that comes in fill out a little card about how they liked the store, service, and how they hear about it. since you have like a record on your computer of the people, put it in there and the next time they come in, they get like 10% off

Make a spread sheet and when someone comes in and says they were reffered by Player_xx you add that person to your list and put a blue X to Player_xx's collum for the 1st refferal. If they buy something make it a red X.
You could make reffered buyers worth more than reffered brousers to keep people from just coming in, naming someone, looking around, and leaving.

Or,mark an x if they just broused and the $$ amout if they buy. You could give a standard discount to reffer'ers, or if keeping track of $$$ amounts, give the reffer'er a % of the total sales from his refferals Off of his next purchase.

I think something on the lines of a punch card. Have you noticed how people are more willing to go somewhere that has a punch card? Make it like for every 10-20 bucks they spend they get a punch, put like 10-15 punchs on the card. Once someone that gets the card all filled they get like 10% off.

I like punch cards , we all ready have a punch card system.

I want to reward customers who refer business not just buy themselves. Maybe a bunmper sticker "Friends dont let Friends by crapy paint at Wal-Mart" or something along those lines 😉

Allen in my business I always ask my new customer if they were refered by a former client. If they were I send the former client a gift cert. Do you have a way in your data base to track referals and then award them a paitball buck or 2 and let them build upt to 10-15 bucks that can be used for free fills or paint or whatever?

Basically you have to ask or the referer need to come in too.

My 2 cents
