Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Yes. I give a discount on their next order if they send a customer my way. They get a code to enter. To encourage the 'friend' to enter the code, I give them a discount as well. Diane GreenFireHerbs.com " Never say 'can't' when there's a 'How About This' still to be tried! " Customer Loyalty Program ? Does anyone here run a customer loyalty program thru their website? I've been toying with the idea for a while, but not sure how to run it. I've got quite a few loyal customers & do send them " extras " when they order. However, if they were encouraged to send other customers my way, I think it could be a win-win situation. Anyone have any input on this idea? Thanks a bunch! Colleen Country Meadow Creations http://www.countrymeadowcreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Collen, It seems like you are talking about two different things. A customer loyalty program and a new customer referral program. As for the customer loyalty program maybe you could offer them a card that you punch and for every $25 buck purchase you punch a hole and after 10 punches or how ever many you decide they get a $25 gift basket. As for the customer referral that can range from a free bar of soap to a gift certificate. I wouldn't put yourself in the hole but for a good customer who gives you a new customer a $5-$10 gift certificate would be nice.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi Colleen, I do not have one currently but one that will be rolling out shortly. What I plan on doing is having a discount code (mals you can issue many for a desired amt.) for a % off when they refer someone and they place an order. Now it may not fall under the loyalty status but it does encourage them to find those who will want to purchase from you. Then this would apply to each friend that refers someone to the site. ~Sandy~ <snip> Does anyone here run a customer loyalty program thru their website? <snip> Does anyone here run a customer loyalty program thru their website?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Thanks to those who answered my question! I've been tossing around both a customer loyalty & referral program in my head, with basically the same ideas you all shared. Hehehe, great minds think alike! When I sold Watkins products years ago, I had a $100 Club. I kept track of my customers purchases, and when they hit $100 I would issue them a $5 gift certificate. That worked out really well and I had lots of people participate. It encouraged them to spend money & I had a steady income. I was considering something along those lines for my soap biz. Again, thanks for your help! Colleen Country Meadow Creations http://www.countrymeadowcreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
