NPOC Ride Leaders and Ride Masters

The Native Planet Outdoor Club offers credits to all its members for referrals because we believe that word-of-mouth from cyclist to cyclist is the best form of advertising for our club. The more members we have, the more benefits we can offer to our members and the better we can fulfill our mission. If you ride with us and appreciate the friendship of your fellow members, the work of your ride leaders and the mission of the NPOC, please help us spread the word.

In addition to our enthusiastic gratitude, we offer all our members discounts or free annual membership renewal and other gifts:

# of people referred	Total discount
1	$10 on membership renewal
2	$20 on membership renewal
3	Free Membership Renewal ($30 value)

Note: It only takes 3 referrals to receive a free membership renewal. One more referral for you to receive a NP T-Shirt. After that you will receive a $10 credit to be applied on the NP clothing item of your choice for each additional referral. This credit will be based on the already discounted member prices.

How to Spread the Word:

• Talk to people you meet on rides.
  The easiest way to get fellow cyclists interested in joining NPOC is to invite them to ride with us on any of weekday and weekend rides. But you should also tell them about all the benefits we provide our members.
• Give cyclists a NP Flyers
  You can also give people one of our flyers with your name on it. You can ask any of our directors for a small stalk of flyers that you can keep in your car.
• Carry NP Business cards on each rides
  We've designed beautiful business cards with a place to write your name. You can always carry a few in your wallet. You can ask our directors for our free generic business cards, or you can use this online template to print your own with your name and contact information.
• Wear your NP jersey and other NP items on group rides
  You will be surprised by the number of people who will approach to ask you about Native Planet. Give them a quick summary on NPOC and NP and hand them your BU card.
• Email cyclists you know and friends you've wanted to introduce to cycling
  Email is a powerful tool, and many cyclists are always looking for good rides to participate in. Some of your friends may have also waited for an opportunity to try cycling. Send them an email telling them about our club and why you ride with NPOC, and send them the URL.

How does it work:

When new members register we ask them how they heard about us. One of the question we ask them is if they have been referred by someone and if that person is a club member, we ask them to write down the name of the club member who referred them. All our referral credits will be based on the names new members will have entered in their online registration. We're sorry but to keep this fair and manageable, we cannot accept after the fact referral. We will keep track of all the referral and credit them to your account. After your third referral we will let you know that you're membership has been renewed for the following year free of charge. Then we will let you know when you have enough credit to receive a free jersey (or apply those credit as a discount for a more expensive NP item). Note that credits cannot be redeemed as cash, they can only be applied first toward a free membership after more than 3 referral in a calendar year, toward credit for a NP clothing item.

Donate your credit!
You can also choose to donate your credit back to NPOC or to have NPOC make a donation in your name to Native Planet (for the value of the items listed above).
