Referral program

$100 for every store you send our way.

Know an independent store owner who's tired of watching the chains out-market them? Tell us about them. When they sign up and stay for 60 days, we send you $100. No cap. No expiration. No fine print.

Submit a referral → How it works

Three steps

Simple as telling a friend.

01

Tell us about a store

Fill out the form below with the store's name and the owner's contact info. That's it — we take it from there.

02

We reach out and visit

We contact the owner, offer a free store audit, and walk them through what The Southern Guild does for stores like theirs.

03

You get $100

When the store signs up and completes 60 days as an active member, we send you $100 — by check, Venmo, or Zelle, your call.

Who can refer

Anyone who knows a store owner can earn this.

⟡

Loyalty members

Already a member at a Southern Guild store? If you know another owner, refer them and earn $100 on top of your regular rewards.

✉

Vendors & reps

If you're a beverage rep, distributor, or vendor who calls on independent stores, every referral is $100 in your pocket. No cap.

◎

Anyone at all

You don't have to be a customer or partner. If you know an independent store that could use this, the referral is yours to make.

Questions

The fine print — which isn't very fine.

We reach out to confirm payout once the referred store has been an active Southern Guild member for 60 days. You can choose check, Venmo, or Zelle. Expect payment within 5 business days of the qualifying date.
The store you referred must sign up for a Southern Guild membership and remain an active paying member for 60 consecutive days. Referrals for stores we're already in contact with, or stores that were previously members, don't qualify.
Yes — there's no cap. Refer ten stores, earn $1,000. Refer fifty, earn $5,000. Every qualifying referral pays out, no matter how many you send.
That's fine. We'll make a note of your referral and if they come on board within 12 months of your submission, the $100 is still yours.
Not at all. Anyone can make a referral — loyalty members, vendors, neighbors, whoever. If you know a store that could use us, the referral is yours to make.

Know a store that needs this? Send them our way.

It takes two minutes. It pays $100. And you'd be doing that owner a real favor.
