Referral Cards Work! 
By Kim Thomas 

Your business' best resource is the customer who has
already done business with you. If your customer was
satisfied with your product and/or service, this customer
will be the one who provides you with return business, and
will refer other people to your website. 

So how can you insure that your satisfied customers will 
refer others to your website? Give them an incentive. 
Referral cards work great for this. 

If you have any type of mail order business, send each one
of your customers a supply of referral cards that they can
give out to their friends. Or, if you have an online
business, supply your customers with referral cards that
they can download from your website. 

Referral cards are simply your business card with a message
on it offering a discount or free item to the customer
referring other people to your website. For example, your
referral card may say, "Send a friend to our website! You
will receive a 10% discount for each new customer you refer
with our card!". Or you could hold a contest and give a
prize to the person who makes the most referrals to your
website every month.

means of advertising. Referral cards are a free way to
generate quality business for your website.
