I am interested in how you handle referrals. Do you send just send Thank You cards or do you recommend some type of gift showing our appreciation? I could not figure out how to query on referrals to just read prior postings about them, just in case this topic has already been discussed. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Diane

Last year I started giving store credits to my referrers. 10% on smaller orders, 5% on medium and 2.5% on large orders. I also give a gift at the end of the year to the referrer with the most referrals and the highest $ amount. This program has worked really well. My customers love it.

That is a great idea Michael. Thanks for sharing!

I have started a Referral Rewards Program this year - giving up to a $25 Visa Gift Card with a Thank You card for referrals that lead to orders - based it on 5% of the order - so a $500 and up order get's a $25 Card - have also given $5 StarBucks Cards and a $100 Visa Gift Card for a nice $2,500 referral order. I have a great tool to automate it if you want to direct message me (don't want to do a shameless plug here)

Go ahead and be shameless.
