Hi Okafor,

When we are sending Gift cards, you need to keep record of redemption code, email address, name, date when you sent them your relationship with them etc. There is a gift card manager our affiliate center. We should enter the details over there .

We will come to know if gift cards are used by looking at GC manager. If someone redeems the TC gift card the entry will appear in our TC Gift card manager and we will also intimated separately that we have a new PRM.

If you find some TC gift cards are not used, we should find occasion to inform the person we sent a TC gift card. For example there is a closeout deal that is very attractive you can inform about it to the recipient of the TC gift card , and suggest them to use TC gift card to buy this item. There will be so many other occasions where you can recommend them ,depending on their interest to buy specific things. In fact you should contact them once and find out what products they like to buy online , Keep record about it in GC manager under notes and then when such products you see on TC inform them about availability and recommend them to redeem.

The TC gift cards do not have expiry date. So you do not have to worry about expiry. But we should NOT PUSH them to use these TC gift cards. If we PUSH them a few people will get irritated and might affect our relationship.

Actually GIFTs are to be given out WITHOUT any expectations. So if Someone we have gifted On our OWN, we should just relax and give space to the recipients to use it. And if someone has asked us for a GC and we have provided them, just remind them once in a month . It is OK in such case to tell them about CLOSEOUT deals.

Even though we give TC Gift cards free, we know, they do cost us money.

Initially, they are " Expenditures "!!

But when positive results are achieved because of them, they turn out to be
" Investments "!!

So keeping this in mind, we need to be careful when we distribute them.

We have to consider from among a big list of friends, Family Members, etc who can turn out to be our " Affiliates " in SFI Business. Once we are convinced, we can still drill down deeply, select few and gift them.

After a reasonable amount of waiting, we can follow up with them personally to know how they felt, whether the Gift Card was utilized, etc.

In case it remained unused, we can still explain the purpose of its issuance & make them use it!!

But, if people thought it was a ploy to get them cooked to SFI Business and not willing to even attempt using the Gift Card, nothing can be done!!

We have to value their sentiments & relationship should always remain cordial!!

In those instances, please do convince yourself that not every expenditure brings in positive results in any business!!

Cheers & All the very best!!!

To me, using the TC Gift Cards are like planting seed in the ground: It takes time to fully see the harvest.

True results will only be measured over time. Let's say you buy a 50 pack of Gift Cards, and you distribute them out in a week. Assuming only a ten percent response rate, here are the realistic results:

30 people will never use the Gift Card.
11 people will use the Gift Card, then throw it away.
4 people will not have a clue.

Which means only five(5) people will not only use the Gift Card, but will want to participate in the Pricebenders auctions by purchasing more T-Credits.

Assuming they buy the 50 T-Credit pack, think about how much you made from your little investment?

Bottom line: Don't think about the whiners, tire kickers and posers. Expound your energy on those who choose to win.

Distributing your TC GiftCards can sometimes prove to be a difficult, and tedious task.

You have to try giving them to individuals who will use them, and try out the TC site.
Giving them to random people can sometimes lead to disappointment when cards are not activated.

Since TC Gift Cards have No Expiry Date, its good to re use the ones that you have in your TC GiftCard Tracker which are not yet activated. This can be found by looking here:

- https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/MyReports/GCtracking

Telling potential TC Referrals of new features available within TripleClicks will often lure new participants to your TC GiftCard Distribution Campaign. Be creative in your description of TripleClicks, tell them why they should try it out, and what may interest them.

Good Luck.

The only thing you can ensure in SFI is that you are doing the very best you can in everything you do.
In any kind of internet marketing you can only expect about a 2% response. The Gift cards CAN significantly raise that percentage because (1) if you already know the people you give a card to, they will thank you after they have logged in and had a chance to look around in Triple clicks, (2) if you don't know them well when you hand them a gift card, see No. (1) above and (3) if you don't know them and gave them the card electronically, you will know they have redeemed the card when you see their name in your PRM List AND in the size of your commission checks because when they get into TripleClicks, they will often buy SOMETHING.

If they are NOT used and you have their e-mail address, you could send them a short note explaining that they are missing out on some really great things by not redeeming the FREE gift you gave them but in NO WAY can you put any pressure on them. You must keep the 1 and ONLY 1 reminder that you gave them something valuable and it costs them nothing to use very light and friendly. Again, I emphasize, you should not remind them more than once you gave them a FREE gift and that they are under NO OBLIGATION to use it and that you will NOT CONTACT them again unless they want you to.

To track your TC Gift cards is quite simple; review your Gift Tracker that SFI provides. The tracker is a great tool to help organize your efforts to see if a gift card has been redeemed or not. When someone redeems the gift TC Gift Card there is a column on the tracker which will be marked with a confirmation to let you know it has been used/redeemed.

If a Gift Card has not been redeemed yet, I will send a friendly follow-up message via email to the receiver to remind them the card has been issued to them and highlight a benefit that they can personally get from using it as each card is valued at $12.00 - I do this if the Gift Cards have been issued via the internet.

If a physical card has been given to a warm market lead, I will follow-up with a phone call or even text message to remind them that they have the gift card and highlight a deal that is on TripleClicks that same day or week so they don't miss out on something that he/she will personally benefit from. I also will do a follow-up after getting the Blog update from TripleClicks and share a quick highlight from that so it simply encourages the PRM to look at the TripleClicks store.

This is an excellent question as our work to market TripleClicks is not just to send out the marketing materials but important to follow-up too.

You can not make anyone use your cards. You have the gift card tracker that tells you when the codes have been redeemed. If a card is not redeemed in a certain period of time you can issue that code to another person. Gift cards never expire so you don't lose them. The code is in the tracking report and can be assigned to someone else.

I use online promotions to distribute gift cards. You have to be careful about current members asking you for cards! So if a person requests for a code it is a good idea to ask them for their id no. If they have number they are already in TripleClicks. If not you can give them a code. When they redeem the code they will become a PRM.

If you hand cards to people tell them they have a certain amount of time to use the card or the code may no longer be available. Risk of loss is a powerful emotional trigger and perhaps some will take action in that time. If not you may assign the code to someone who is ready to take advantage of all TripleClicks has to offer.

In my opinion the best way to make sure they are used is to be very careful to select who you give them to and when!
If you just hand them out randomly, you will not get a good level of response. If you invest time and effort with each person showing them how to use the card and help them get going you will have a much better success rate.
The question is will they follow through afterwards?
Although in the end it is up to the individual, I believe that investing the time to learn if they are truly interested in some aspect of SFI or Triple-Clicks is the answer1
Are they a merchant with a web site to tie into the SFI/TC system?
Are they a musician who wants exposure?
Are they a Game player who will enjoy Zebra Games?
Are they a penny auction buff or at least one who wants opportunities like the daily deal?
Are they looking to build a long-term income with a real business of their own?
In other words do they qualify as a Great Lead.. or at least as a lead to a great lead?
the person you talk to may not be a player now or ever but if they are a taste leader or a person of influence then surely it is worth the time and effort to show them the ropes and get them started - one on one - and show that you care about them enough to share this great opportunity with them1
If you do this 100% of the time you should get close to 100% participation if you don't then the standard of 2 - 4% is all you can hope for!

I will know that they are not used because I single handedly distributed the cards only to people I know are interested and will make good use of it.

I will give them some time to redeem it, but where I did not receive any mail from SFI congratulating me, I will then know that the cards have not been redeemed, the I will visit the gift card tracker report on http://www.sfimg.com/gctrack).

I will enter the email address in the space provided and send to them an email telling them to redeem the cards.

I will tell them the worth of the cards and what they can use it to do, like playing games, knock-out Trivia game, Price bender, Auction sales and lots of others.

Thanks

Gift Cards are marketing aids we use as incentives to motivate prospects to visit TripleClicks and maybe get interested in some of the products and become our PRM’s or even the business opportunity and become a PSA or ECA. SFI have 2 types of Gift Cards available, physical gift cards that you distribute physically and digital gift cards that you distribute on-line.

To make sure your prospects make use of physical GC’s you can visit the site on-line with them, show them how it works and help them to redeem it on the spot. Hit the iron while it’s warm. If they don’t want to, tell them there is a time limit connected to the redemption code and if they don’t use it by then, that it will no longer be valid. Take all their details like e-mail and tell no and the gift card's details and remind them before the time expire. When that happens, re-assign that redemption code to someone else and do the same until it is redeemed.

Digital GC’s is even easier. You market with a picture of the GC. Don’t put the redemption codes in your ads. List your contact details in the ads. When your prospects contact you and are interested, refer them to the site through your gateway, ask them to register with promise of GC for doing that and only after they are registered send them the redemption code. Inform them that there is a time limit to redeem it. Close to that time remind them and if they still don’t redeem it, re-assign it.
