Brainstorming

I'll be placing my 3rd Avon order at the start of next week and now that I've established my customer base, I thought I'd introduce some incentives. :o) Love making money! Lol.
I forgot to take my book on the train this morning so I started brainstorming instead lol. Here's what I came up with:
  • Introducing the Points System. For each £1 a customer spends, they get 10 Avon points. Points can be used to 'pay' for items in their order. I'd back-date points so they start with a balance based on their sales up until that point.
  • Enclosing free Samples with brochures for existing customers. I did this already and I'm not sure the level of success. So far nobody has bought the item I let them sample lol. But they have placed an additional order.
  • Refer-a Friend! Offering my existing customers to recieve a 10% discount card valid for one order for each new customer they generate for me. I'm thinking this would encourage people to take their brochure to work, school, the gym, relatives... They refer 5 new customers to me, they get 10% off their next five orders!
  • Enjoy a Free Gift! To encourage larger orders, I was thinking that all orders over say £25 would recieve a free bottle of room spray, or bath jelly or something. Maybe from a range that they wouldn't normally buy from.

Ok now I'm done brainstorming, it's your turn! What do y'all think about these? Any new suggestions are very much appreciated. :o)

THANX!

I'm all about free samples. The free gift thing should work especially well. My grandmother used to buy tonnes of make-up just to get the free gift even though it was just a couple of tiny lotion bottles and an ugly lipstick colour.
