Offering incentives to European Customers, any ideas?

[ian-d]

Totally irrevalant to affiliate marketing, but gives everyone something else to think about!

As part of my satellite business i sell subscriptions. I want to increase the number of subscriptions quite significantly as they offer good future growth.

I'm considering a 'recommend a friend' promotion where by the recommender and friend benefit, up to a value of say £30 each.

The problem being that the customers are mainly in Europe, so vouchers to a high street store etc are not really useful, neither are discounts for use in my business as its very much a 'purchase once' business i'd say, so my thoughts so far:

- Voucher for Amazon (only problem being that if i buy in the UK, the customer must purchase from the UK amazon and have shipped abroad)

- Small electrical gift such as Ipod, but don't think they are that cheap and is it enough of an incentive considering most ppl have them already?

Anymore ideas for me, cheers.

Hi Ian,

Why don't you try with Paypal? Otherwise try the following:

http://www.getactive.co.uk/ - I am not sure they offer solutions also in Europe

http://www.euroaward.biz/corporate_rewards.html - I know for sure they work on a European basis!

Cheers,
Sara
