Do You Play Well With Others?

I take a lot of pride in my shop. I'm a very small business, but I stay steadily busy creating things for you. I credit that to creating a useful, quality product that fulfills a need without a lot of extra useless bells and whistles at an affordable price point. I never send out a product that I wouldn't be proud to use myself or give as a gift to a friend or family member, and I try to always provide excellent customer service. I want my customers to have an amazing purchasing experience from start to finish.

One thing I'm ridiculously proud of is that I have built the shop into what it is by myself over the last four years. I've never actually utilized any paid advertising, but I'm starting to in order to increase my exposure on Etsy and elsewhere. But as a consumer myself, I believe the most powerful source of growth for a business is word of mouth, from satisfied customers. And as a consumer myself, I like to be recognized and appreciated by those to whom I choose to give my hard-earned money.

That's why starting today, I'm launching my very own referral program for Hannah's Toybox. If you're a happy customer, I want you to share your experience with others so I can put a bit of my creativity into their lives! So here's how it's going to work: each time you refer a customer to me, please send me an email or a message on my Facebook page letting me know who it was you referred. You can provide them with the coupon code NEWCUSTOMER, which will allow them to take 5% off the purchase price of their first order. (Use of this code by repeat customers will be grounds for order cancellation.) When your referral makes a purchase, I'll send you a unique, one-time coupon code for $5 off your next order. You can use it whenever you want to - your $5 credit won't expire. There's no limit on the number of credits you can earn, and the coupons will be stackable: if you want to save them up and use them toward the purchase price of one single item, that's fine!

So go on, get out there and start Playing Well With Others! Share Hannah's Toybox and start earning those credits!
