10% Discount
As a member of Christian Referrals, you benefit from an exclusive discount of 10% on all other members’ products and services!
Only our members benefit from such a generous and uniform discount,
applicable across such a wide range of products and services,
from painters and landscapers to accountants and lawyers.
Every member agrees to honour a 10% discount to other members.
As far as we know, this is completely unique to Christian Referrals.
No other organization offers anything remotely comparable.
This, alone, can represent a great incentive for members to seek first to employ others members, thereby potentially increasing sales for all of our members.
This discount not only benefits our members through an increase in sales,
it also benefits them by potentially saving hundreds or thousands of dollars
per year on services that they may normally require in the course of a year,
such as: dentists, hairdressers, auto mechanics and renovations.
As members of a greater Christian community, our members are encouraged to support other Christians, by hiring Christian businesses to meet their needs.
This promotes a vibrant spirit of brotherhood or sisterhood among Christians, which, in turn, fosters thriving Christian communities!

Becoming a member is Economical!

newspapers, radio, newsletters, yellow pages, Google ad words, flyers, etc.,

Our members benefit from Effective marketing!
As our membership grows, so will your network of new customers.
Our members also benefit from a specifically targeted market group,
one which represents a significantly large majority of our population.
According to a 2011 census , there were more than 34 million Christians in Canada!
This represents over 67% (2/3) of the Canadian population!
In the city of Calgary alone, there were almost 600,000 Christians,
representing 55% of the population.
In the province of Alberta, that figure was up to over 2.15 million Christians, representing just over 60% of the population of Alberta!
The 10% discount offered by members to other members also represents simple, economical and effective advertising to ensure new business.
For many business owners, if you get only a minimal number of new customers,
as a result of this 10% discount,
then the membership fee pays for itself!
In addition, Christian Referrals ensures that all key words, relating to your business, are optimized for search engine rankings on Google and other search engines.
This increases your visibility online,
when anyone is seeking your type of services.
This alone, can save you thousands of dollars per year in online marketing costs!
Finally, as Christian Referrals grows, so will our marketing budget.
We currently produce and distribute promotional pamphlets and
distribute a wide variety of promotional items at a variety of Christian events.
Also, we are developing a plan to spread the word about Christian Referrals
through sophisticated presentations to as many churches as possible,
and by recruiting a motivated sales staff.
In the future, as our budget permits, we intend to advertise in newspapers,
radio, and to produce videos to showcase at Christian conferences, concerts,
and other large Christian gatherings.
Christian Referrals intends to spread across Canada
and ultimately across the world!
