Hi, Cislyn Campbell.
I have been using Gift cards very early, since I joined SFI and I have had a fairly decent success with them.
I am attracting both PSAs and PMRs. It is common that my PRMs become also my Affiliates. I encourage them to register with both Tripleclicks and SFI
Gift cards are intended for two kinds of markets:
(i) our warn market (people with whom we have some form of relationships through family, friendship, work, and business interactions) on the one hand;
(2) on the other hand, online marketing and promotions
For our warm market, a gift card is a good introduction in casual settings. It is important that we make sure that we have the corresponding redemption code handy to give out with the gift cards and clear procedures typed on index cards explaining how to redeem the gift card.
It does not serve any purpose to hand out a gift card without the redemption code and instructions where to go to redeem it.
On this point, one can say that hand to hand is a excellent method to distribute gift cards.
Online promotions and prospecting is another excellent method.
Through email marketing, blogs, business groups in social network websites such as Facebook and LinkedIn, you will find a large market of prospects who will be attracted to gift cards.
Here a caution is in order: Never display the redemption codes in random postings.
If you search the Forum posts, you will find stories of affiliates going through disappointing experiences because they made the redemption code available to public view. The gift cards were redeemed without any sales or registrations, and without even knowing who did it.
To protect yourself against this, always give them out to an individual with whom you have established a previous contact and through their private email.
