Referral Cards: Effective Marketing Tool?

[LisaLeichner]

Hi, this is the first thread I've started, & actually the first day I've ever posted on this site, but I've been reading it since my recruiter recommended it to me. I have enjoyed all the input I've read, so I thought I'd ask a question of my own. Does anyone use referral cards? I thought I saw something (maybe from Nancy's Artworks??) that was a postcard size paper asking for referrals, & the incentive was something free if 5 people were referred to the consultant. Does this sound familiar to anyone, & has anyone tried it?

I just use my business cards that I ordered from Town and Country. When I hand out the catalogs, order forms, etc, I also hand out two cards to each person. I tell them to keep one and file it under "Pampered Chef" when they get home because they're not going to remember my name, they're just going to remember that I'm the PC lady. Then I tell them to write their name and phone number on the back of the second one and then give it to someone else. That way I know who to thank for the referral.

No luck with this yet as I just started doing it, but it's another idea.

I've seen the cards but don't know how weel they work.
