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 take

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

We actually mail a check for $25 to the person who referred. The check in hand is a physical reminder of the referral. We feel that this is better than the nebulous credit they really don't see or interact with. On 09/23/2010 06:59 AM, Jeremy Rodgers wrote: We are looking into creating a solid

We did a 50/50 Referral Program for our Customers... $50 for the person Referring $50 for the person being referred. You can change the amount to suit. Our logic was, both sides should get the incentive, especially when folks were referring friends, or professionals referring others. There
