Im willing to give gas card for each referral? Steer business my way and earn a gas card ! ! Great way to network and earn gas ! ! Im not good with words...any help would be appreciated..thought I would make flyers and share them with the realtor offices, car dealerships etc.... what do you think?

I believe that any gift or 'thank you' should be related to the product or service you are advertising...

The first thing that comes to my mind with the gas card idea is what is the connection... how are the things related... You are off to a bad start if a person has to think that way, so be careful to have some synergy in the deal.

The best flyers I ever did benefited both the person passing it and the one receiving it.

I did a joint postcard sized 'voucher'... one side said 'Valued Customer' and the other said 'Recommend a Friend'.

Gave them out to all my customers, as these are your best 'Referrers', to pass to their friends/family. The Value of the Voucher could be anything from money off, to a freebie based on the value of the 'next' order.

I am a big lover of Network Marketing, and you just need to remember the 80/20 rule, which states that 80% of your referral leads will be generated from the top 20% of your Networkers... The moral being, devote 80% of your time and efforts looking after those 20%.

I think that the flyers may help to get people to call, but it is the pricing that will make them do business with you.

If your company has premiums that are higher than others, I would (and do) keep shopping for a lower premium.

The best flyers talk about the prospecs business and their problems. If all you do is promote your business they will not care too much. Testimonials from other locals saying how much they saved ect...are always good to add. Just keep the focus on the prospects business/needs.

We are offering a free pizza for a quote and its a good way to generate leads and network with other business and clients you have with local business.

Best Of Luck!

Another great idea is a fax back flyer. Just a little about you and what you sell, and then a short sign up form for the prospect to fill out and fax back to you. They will appreciate the intrusive nature of this form of marketing.

And don't forget to put your web address on it and every ad!

I am glad the outlawed the blast fax form of advertising in our state. There are still some who do it but not to the extent of a few years ago.

I have a knack for writing. Email me at gary@choicearizona.com with whatever you want to say. I'll take your wording/information and put into a flyer form and email back to you in a word document. Be sure to include your email address.
