We're looking for a good way to handle customer referral program. They want $2500 bucks "set up" and then a percentage of each payout you give to a referral, ie: if you award $100 bucks, they want $10 bucks-- that's more than OK for us, since we'd be giving away $100 bucks for a $2400 purchase (we sell print advertising). I'm just trying to find another way to do this if there is such a thing, where we don't have to pay the $2500.
We bought WP Affiliate Pro and WP Store... we've got practically no one whose signed up to be an affiliate through these systems-- haven't promoted them and I don't know if they can be used to run an offline referral program...
We have a lot of business customers (about 500) who pay an average of $250/month for our print advertising. Pretty much everybody in 9 cities where we send our magazines know of us, so we're thinking that it's time to let loose on a customer referral service where everyone and their brother can say, "hey I know of a business owner who totally would advertise in The Reader, and I want to make the $100 bucks".
So we're looking for a good referral program (not one limited to a person with web experience who can post banner ads into websites) but a referral program that takes advantage of our strength-- our familiarity, and the fact we have advertising that most businesses like given the price points.
So... that's it. We want to do what the U-Refer motto says, "Make the world our sales force"...
