Referral Programme Q&A
Our amazing referral programme means that when you make your first purchase here at Difficult Dads you get a unique referral code that you can give to your friends or family, tweet to the nation or stick it on your blog - each time your friends use the code, they will get a discount off their purchase and you will earn commission!
Q: How does it work?
A: By recommending your friends and family to our site, you'll save them 10% off the purchase price whilst earning you 5% of whatever they spend. The earning possibilities are endless, we don't mind if you tweet or blog your code to the nation and beyond - and there's no limit to the amount of times a customer can use the code. The more it's used, the more money you earn!
Q:Is it really worth my while?
A: We don't expect to make hundreds of millionaires out of this programme, but do consider that the average spend on this site is £25. If you refered that customer then you'll earn £1.25.Over time, all you need is 100 reffered customers to use the site each month and next years holiday is paid for! Now also consider that someone may have seen or heard of your referral code through an online site such as Twitter so gettting a 100 people to use the site is a very acheivable target. You could be earning commission from people you have never even met.Whatsmore, we'll reward our top earners with SUPER BONUSES of either cash or prizes (to be announced shortly)
Q: Where do I get my referral code from?
A: After your first purchase, an automated referral code will be generated and is displayed in the commision tab if you log into your account . If you lose or forget the code simply visit your Account area on difficultdads.com and click on the Commission button. Alternatively, contact us.
Q:Can i get a discount on my next purchase without having to refer a friend or family member.
A: The great news is yes. As a loyal customer you should be entitled to 10% off all future purchases if you simply input your referral code in at the checkout. Whatsmore, you'll earn yourself 5% commission for the purchase
Q: Why are we giving away money?
A: All retailers have to spend money advertising their goods and services whether it's through TV, Radio, Magazines or Search Engine Optimisation. We're no exception. The best form of advertising is personal recommendation.
Think of how many restaurants, shops and service providers you've recommended over the years making these companies money. Have they ever rewarded you for increasing their customer base? We believe that if you liked our products and service and you got someone you know to use us, you should be rewarded because you saved us time and money bringing us more customers. It's simple and it's fair!
Q: How can i check my commission and when will I get paid?
A: By logging onto your account from the link at the top of the website, you'll open a screen showing a commission button. Simply click on this icon to view your total commission, the orders that earned you the commission as well as a reminder of your referral code. Once you have reached £10 or more commission, we will send you either a cheque or transfer to a nominated bank or PayPal account (you will receive an email from us requesting details upon your first £10 commission earnings).
Q: What rules are there?
A: We want to make this a simple, transparent offer but there are a few simple rules.
1) If a referred customer returns an unwanted item under the returns policy/statutory rights, the commission earned will be deducted from the total
2) We are not responsible for any tax issues. It is your responsiblity to ensure that any earnings from commissions paid are declared to HMRC
3) Any one found abusing the system will be barred without right to appeal
4) If a customer enters the wrong referral code and the commission is asigned to another account then we cannot transfer the commission to the correct account so please ensure that your buyers use the correct code
