I'm excited to announce that the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce has launched a new referral program for 2012, one that allows existing members of the Chamber to earn goodies and other prizes.
Here's the way it works:
Let's say you know of a business or organization that would benefit from being a member of the Chamber. Tell them about us, about what we do and about or programs. Share this copy of the Carlsbad Business Journal with them and, more importantly, tell them what your membership has done for you.
If that referral becomes a member, you'll receive a coupon good for the following rewards:
• First referral: Receive four passes to a Sundowner. These cannot be used when the Carlsbad Chamber does a joint Sundowner with a neighboring chamber. ($20 value)
• Second referral: Attend a First Friday Breakfast for free! RSVP Required. ($30 value)
• Third referral: Receive a marketplace ad in the Carlsbad Business Journal (based upon availability). ($50 value)
• Fourth referral: Receive one ticket to the State of the City Luncheon on August 24, 2012 or $50 credit towards any chamber workshop in 2012. ($50 value)
• Fifth referral: We will deduct $150 from your 2013 membership renewal.
And that's not all.
Each time you refer a new member to the Carlsbad Chamber, your name goes into a grand prize drawing that will be held Dec. 7 at the Annual Volunteer Recognition Awards Breakfast. One of the grand prizes will be a collection of golf equipment from TaylorMade Golf Co.
We expect to add other grand prizes soon, check our website, www.carlsbad.org, for details.
Refer five new members and you are basically receiving $350 in services and products, which doesn't even include the grand prize!
So, get busy and start earning! And remember, our members are all over San Diego County. In fact, 30 percent of our members are outside of Carlsbad's borders.
You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.
To be clear, a referral is someone that you (as an active Carlsbad Chamber member) know or that you do business with that is currently not a member of the Carlsbad Chamber.
The referral is not someone that is already attending a chamber function or someone you meet at a Carlsbad Chamber event. If they are there, that means they are already on our radar.
Once a referral is a member you will receive a coupon to use for the prize that you have won for that particular referral which will be required for redemption with an RSVP of at least one week prior to any event (except when it comes to Sundowners).
Congratulations to the following members for their referrals thus far: Tom Applegate, Kelly Bagla, Julieann Billings-Riordan, Rich Clark, Gaelan Gowdy-Chase, Matt Hall, Anne Howard, Carlton Lund, Christine Macone-Greene, Bill Maynard, Nancy McMonigal, Karla Patino, Carolyn Reinmiller, Michael Taff and Cameron Trickey.
