How do I start a haircut referral program for my new barbershop?

Question

I am wondering how I might go about starting a customer referral program to generate new business into my barbershop. I would like to give discounts to my current customers if they refer new ones into the shop. I have several problems with this idea, such as how to track these referrals when they are made or what type of incentive to offer the customer etc.

Answer 1

we did this at my barbershop....i gave the regular customer a buisness card with there name on the back of it and if they gave that card to a new customer the new customer would bring that card in so i would know who to give the discount to...then i would give them a card with there name on it to give to someone and so on and so on. i would file the cards they gave me and put them in a filing system and when they walked in we would ask there last name and check if there was a card. good luck
