Marty, I will share with you what has worked for me.
At first I was very hesitant to buy the Gift Cards. Then, I decided to take the plunge. I bought digital cards and I distributed them by email.
First I make a list of 30 persons who I know then I assign each a Redemption Code.
I write a short, warm and personal note to each one with the Redemption Code and instructions on how to redeem. Each message is personalized.
The response has been good with persons calling or emailing wanting to find out more about the gift card and the SFI business.
I increased my PRMs from 1 to six in one month. I got my first sale at TC from one of these PRMs this month. A few are interested in the business.
Online is a better option. You buy digital cards and get them immediately to promote your business. If you buy them early enough in the month you get to review the product and earn 25 VP in the same month that you purchased the Cards (for first purchase). You can either promote them immediately at your blog, website, or by email, etc.
I also helped an a2a friend through the process this month and he got a few redeemed as well (he promoted online).
I would go for online distribution but you could do a mix to determine what works best for uou.
