Just curious if we were to have our own token just wondering if people would promote it with a referral program instead of a bounty? Since bounties are really useless at raising funds are even bringing in customers which would be the main goal.
You can always promote your shop and go with the referral program. This is more of the guaranteed sale rather than running a bounty that you have no idea how much sale you'll get on it. Although, it's proven and tested that you get more visibility through a bounty.
But if you only have a specific area of operation, you need to run a bounty that's targetting the geographical location as exact as your operation. IMHO, just stick to the referral program even without having your own token. I think it's not necessary at all.
