Question from Kim: “Need some suggestions…I have a senior who has given me 2 referrals and I want to give her a gift, what is a good gift to include in her print package I send? I was thinking mini accordian album or specialty paper wallets? Would a senior want a gallery wrap of themself?’
Heather: Ask her! Say you appreciate what she’s done and give her the 2 options
Krista: How about a phone case (iphone or android) if they have one. They are pretty cool AND you’d get continued exposure for more referrals.
Alicia: I read a great senior referral tip once. Sally is your senior rep and she refers Molly and Ashley. You take $10 off the top of each of molly and ashley’s session (built into your pricing) and put it into Sally’s referral points ($1-1 point). Then at the end of her year, Sally has 300 referral points to spend with you – she can get a itunes card, visa gift card, print credit, ipod, anything you want to offer – and since the $10 per referral you’re giving Sally is built into your session pricing it’s nothing out of pocket for you. PLUS, the more referrals Sally gives you the more she’ll earn. Does that make sense?
Josette: Great idea is a Visa gift card. These kids love $$$. I went Tia workshop with one of the top senior photogs in the country and that is how she rewards her seniors who refer. She has it built into her rep program.
Samuel: yes. that would b sweet
