Starbucks Gift Cards

I was at a conference once, and they gave away prizes, which included a Starbucks gift card for $10. Winners were encouraged to take someone they met at the conference for a cup of coffee as a networking gesture. It was a great award because it encouraged action.

That is a very clever idea. Thanks for sharing.

That was a smart idea. I bet Starbucks sold more as a result than they put out in free gift cards.

Thats a good idea of making more and more network

What a great Idea from the organizers and Starbucks who were probably the creative minds behind the whole idea. Nice move!

Speaking of Starbucks....

I heard about a Realtor who would go through
the drive-thru... pay for the person's coffee
behind them... and give the clerk her business
card to present to the customer with their
paid-for coffee.

Generated pretty consistent referrals that way.

Interesting.

I'm going to borrow that idea.

Cool. Good luck and let us know your results, okay?

I did hear that the realtor writes on the back of her card...

"I can also help you pay less in homeowners insurance..."

Pretty smart, as it creates ways for her to network with
insurance agents locally and expand her base.

Can do.

The concept is a great idea. I gotta do some thinking about how to apply it to what I do and when to put it into motion.

I have a coffee house customer who buys from me and I could do some kind of cross promo with them with this concept I bet.
