Simple question, what benefits do you give to your exisiting clients, for each new client that they recommend to you, that signs up?

Are the benefits different, depending on how much your existing customer pays per month?

My company resells game servers, so must of the existing services are around $65/month - what benefits would you recommend?

At the moment, we offer a week's free service, though may increase this.

I havent had that opportunity yet, but one weeks free service isnt enough. I use to work for a game company, it needs to about 3 weeks or 1 free month. If you cant afford to do that, maybe you can find some other way.

I'd hate to have to be the one keeping up with the changes in billing cycles if offering a free week for referrals. I'd probably go for a month free, or perhaps find some other form of "reward".

10% off game and dedicated servers
First month of whatever someone pays (up to $10.00) if they referred them.

I think it completely depends upon where you are in your business, not all businesses can afford big rewards when they are fresh out of the gates. however we work with web designers and offer to host the designer's site for free (on our largest shared plan) once they refer six clients to us.

But this is what works for our model... it is definitely unique to our packages and pricing.

15% given to referrer from whatever money we receive from the customer. Monthly or one-time fees.
