Referral form for a New Member

[SmokinJoe]

Has this been done?



I am looking for a TDR form I can print out and keep in my truck, to be effective in soliciting new members. This form would have a number on it that represents my TDR ID. After x new members are conscripted then a trinket is sent to the conscriptor.



If a trinket could not be sent then maybe paypal cash, TDR stickers or an additional issue added to my subscription.



What is the catch for the new member? Why would a new TDR member mail in the pre printed form with my ID? Because if they do they get some sticker/trinket with the first issue of TDR!



What does this do? It could greatly increase the number of TDR members and increase the funds to keep TDR alive. The best advertising is word of mouth/testimonials.



BTW I think members should be able to buy gift subscriptions for family members or up to 2 friends for 50% off. The more people who read the TDR the more who will buy a CTD. The more who buy a CTD will surely need a TDR membership.



Another way to sell more issues of TDR: Start a program with the dealers that each new CTD owner gets one issue free. Another option is have the dealer foot the first years subscription for the new CTD owner.



If the dealer had a complimentary issue in the dealership this too would help.



How do some of these ideas sound?

It all sounds like a good promotional plan to me!



Good thinking.

Just take the form out of your magizine and put your name and membership number on it then make 10 copies and put them in your truck then you can hand them out and get a free plaque everytime someone signs up with your form... ... ... ... Pete

Great Suggestion! Thank you.

Great idea. I'll see if I can create a referral forum that you can just print off the website where you can write in your member number of name for the referral. Sometimes we don't see the forest for the trees. Great idea.

That would be great. I am sure I can make full use of that web page...
