Try handing out business cards with your information and a picture of the customer and their new car. You can make a template in Microsoft Publisher and just drop in the image. Give them a sheet of ten (Staples sells the blanks real cheap). Tell them you are giving them $1000 back ($100 for each person that brings one back and buys a car). People are unlikely to throw out a picture of themselves.
