By (either) sending one of your extremely time sensitive, closeout and or liquidation sale, “bring a friend”, opt in email/mobile marketing text, to (not only) their customers and clients, who own their own businesses and or services.
But to their non business owning customer/clients as well.Plus, they agree to help arrange a sort of revenue share of 3-5%, with every charity, these highly influential service providers, already have established relationships with.
So the extremely marketing savvy jeweler, agrees to periodically donate, 3-% of the gross front end profits, on these quarterly sales events, these service providers, help drive, either on or offline bodies to. 😀 Pretty cool, right?

So here’s the rub. Every CPA or law firm partner/associate and or employee,who brings a guest, automatically gets to enter a raffle.
And for just a one time payment of $500 dollars, (or X) they get to enter a raffle, for a chance to win, a $5,000 dollar gift certificate, courtesy of the jeweler and their non directly competing joint venture (JV) partners.
Basically, for ten cents on the dollar, somebody invests $500 dollars, and instantly receives a $5,000 dollar gift certificate, to be used anyway they wish. The only stipulation is, they must use the entire credit, within one year of it being issued.
And here’s part two. The ladies in attendance, they also have their own private raffle, where any woman who brought at least one guest, they automatically get to enter a raffle, and invest $300 dollars, for a chance to win a $3,000 dollar gift certificate. 😀
