Referral Discounts would be good

[bassn99]

I thought I would throw this out there for the suppliers to think about. I DO NOT want to get into the e-cigarette retail sales game because I do have a job that keeps me very busy.
BUT, I would like to see some of the current retailers give some sort of rebates, discounts, something for all of the business I/we are sending their way. I know I could have sold over 50 units in the last two months.
Don't have the time.
Maybe I am out of line here, just a thought that maybe they could come up with some sort of plan like Dish Network does for sending them business. Again just MHO.

Yeah I thought about that before. I like helping out new members who don't know where to buy supplies online...but at the same time I'm thinking I am helping out the online vendors and the new guys might buy the last of something (like juice) that I might want to buy.

 

[bassn99]

You may be totally right, I guess I never thought about it like that.
Good Point.

It wouldn't be a terrible thing. Although, a couple of vendors I have used have been very generous with their time and support, which also goes a long way. Yes, it helps solidify repeat sales, but there are no guarantees.

They have also tossed things in like a bottle of juice, T-Shirt or free shipping on a backordered item (when they could have just made me wait and sent everything together).

I guess it depends on who you get, how you handle yourself with them, bla bla bla.

But ... referal credit certainly isn't a bad idea, either!

I get mine at a kiosk at my local mall. I get referal cards from them and each person I refer I get $15 off. I might have to make a job out of it.

I'm not really looking for payments, maybe just some free stuff with a referral.
Jennlsnoopy has a great thing going there, unfortunately there are no Kiosk locations here. But maybe an account credit or something would be nice.
I have to say I am hooked (analog free) but spending so much on this new stuff is mind boggling. Seems everytime I hit the forum there is something new out there I NEED to try to enhance my habit. Ha, I love it.....

It kinda becomes a hobby buying this stuff. I'm always giving out referal cards. I've had a few people turn them in, but I'm hoping for more soon. I found out that if I go to the casino, I find a lot of interested smokers there.

The problem is once you become "compensated" then your referall is really personally motivated IMO.

Just my opinion...however much it's worth in juice...24mg please.

Thats a really good idea. Where do you go? Which Casino?

I agree. If vendors offered this, then everyone and his brother will be spamming the newbies with the vendor who is compensating them, instead of giving them options and honest opinions. Anyone who reads my posts knows that I will recommend the Chuck, not because I'm hoping for some sort of compensation, but because I think it's a quality product, I love mine, and I think others would love it, too. I try also to mention that there are other options out there for people that they may like, as well. I just can't give them such glowing reviews because I haven't tried them. But I don't expect Jeff (the maker of the Chuck) to toss me discounts or freebies. He did right by me, and I'll let folks know about the experience. If he gets more business out of what I say... great. He deserves it.

If I have a good experience with a vendor, I'll let everyone know. I'll even post a review, good or bad, if I think it will help people. That's what it's all about, right? Helping the new guys get the best out of their vaping experience?

I don't care if SE offered me money, I wouldn't be recommending their products here. I like to be able to sleep at night.

I agree too, we already see a bit now and then here people pushing a product with the hopes of getting freebies or what not...not that freebies are a bad thing but there is a thin line between promoting a quality product for what it is and fluff... I rather get an honest opinion to help me on my decisions... if I wanted a fluff job I would get into adult entertainment industry... My3cents

Well, I can tell you I was at the Riverwalk Casino in Vicksburg Ms, last night and I could have sold a hundred. Would have loved to also, because the analogs there were killing me. I've only been vaping for a couple of months, but good grief when you have to sit next to someone who is constantly blowing smoke at you.... It STINK NOW>...........
