Referral Contest #3!!! sponsored by The Alternative Reef

Referral Contest!!!! http://www.captivereefs.com/misc_images/referral-contest2-lg.jpg



We have quite a few new folks here on the forum. I thought it would be nice to give you an incentive invite some of your reefing buddies to join us. Lets see if we can get a few more peeps to share the site and our love for reefing!

The Alternative Reef has donated a large magnetic frag shelf to the cause. The reefer with the most verified referrals in this contest will be the lucky winner of this frag shelf. The retail value of this prize is $97! It is large...about a foot long in total. Here are some pics:

Contest Rules
1. The contest runs from now until January 4, 2011 @ midnight EST.
2. For a referral to count, the new member must confirm their account and post at least once.

We will keep track of the referrals using this link which has everyone's referrals set to zero from today....this is also accessed via the Member Tools menu item in the navbar:

Referral Contest Stats (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/referrers.php)

There is also a invitation tool on the Member Tool menu item on the navbar. Unfortunately, facebook is not working, but you can use it to invite members from your email and other social networks.

[Sir Patrick]

Sweet!!!! Great timing!!

This contest is great! One of my favorites.

I love this contest but it is hard to get more than a couple people to sign up. Most of the fish people I know are already on here lol.

[John]

oh another contest. Neat.

[kev2me]

Oooh nice, I love Gooch's stuff :)

Although I am getting a little low, I do have more cards like I was handing out at the swap. I also have some regular business cards that you can put your name on to give to someone you might strike up a conversation with at your LFS. Anyone that thingk they could use some of these, send me a pm with your mailing info and I will mail you some.

Also if you find yourself helping someone on another forum, you can always shoot them a pm or email regarding CR. After you have answered a few questions or bought/sold something from someone, it is not spamming to invite them to another forum. Just to be clear though, if you just send out a bunch of notes, you will likely get in trouble/banned from other forums. Its important (and more effective) if you have a relationship (i.e., helped the person out) with them before sending the invitation.

In an effort to increase activity in our selling forums, I have invited some craigslist listers to check us out. I know a lot of people use that site for aquarium related stuff and would have better luck with a more targeted audience. You could always try that too.

If you click on the Referral Stats Link (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/referrers.php), you will be provided a referral link that you can send someone so that if they click on it, the referral credit goes to you.

Just a friendly reminder about the referral contest. Right now I think we have a few guys with 1 referral so the contest is wide open! (My referrals don't count toward the contest even though they are on the list.)

[jimsflies]

Bumpity bump....this contest is still wide open guys! The leader has just 3 referrals! That is not very many peeps for a sweet prize.

[jimsflies]

Only a couple more days...this contet is still anyone's! I can't believe that some of you guys can't muster more than 6 friends. :shrug:

Looks like JMALACHI has put the peddle to the metal here in the last day of the contest! Great job!

He now has 8 confirmed referrals. Keep up the good work!

Still anyone's to win...all it takes right now is nine friends from your reef club, LFS, other site...

[JMALACHI]

What sucks is that I have friends who I've sent invites to and they said they never get the invite. I've tried over and over and still nothing. Bummer cuz I could have a few more that want to check the site out after seeing my tank.

[jimsflies]

Just get them here to sign up and confirm...then let me know which ones. I will give you the credit....

Same goes for anyone else.

[creefer]

I still don't have any reefing buddies....yet....

[jimsflies]

What do you mean? We're all your buddies!

[creefer]

What do you mean? We're all your buddies!

Lol...I figured as much....

Truth is I personally know not a single person who is a reefer.

[JMALACHI]

Ok. cool...Thanks!

[jimsflies]

Congrats to JMALACHI winner of the contest with 11 confirmed referrals.

We will have more referral contets, but don't let that stop you guys from inviting your reefing buddies to CR. Help us keep spreading the word. More members helps with getting better contest prizes!

[JMALACHI]

Woohoo!!! This is awesome!! I'll definitely be inviting more here. Great contests and this is the first time I win any contest!!!
