We give a free month of service to the referring customer. We print out the credit for their account and send it with a thank you card that says "Thanks for your referral" on the front and a handwritten note inside. I had these made up from a card vendor. It adds an extra touch and doesn't tak

We usually give a free month to the one referring if it is equal to or greater than what they have. We give the customer the credit after the new customer pays the first bill. Also I have had a few employees from companies we have that have referred people to us. For those we get a gift card to

We are looking into creating a solid referral program.  Does anyone have input on what has worked well and what hasn't?  We were thinking of a free month of service for the new customer and referring one.  Is this too much?  Any thoughts? -- Jeremy J. Rodgers
