Why you *really* need to think about referral sharing?

All too often, brands & apps set-up a referral scheme with much enthusiasm… but are then disappointed with poor results. The reason is FRICTION! Many referral schemes are just too clunky, and it’s simply too hard for your customers to successfully share & refer. The standard referral funnel is leaky or downright broken.

Partner FAQs

Want to learn more? Below are some common partner questions.

Once activity limits are lifted, ReferralCodes’ partners have reported immediate and enduring results: i) Increases in advocates sharing at ReferralCodes, up to 10x in a 6 month period ii) Increases in new outbound conversions, ranging from 3-10x more than non-partner status and iii) Increased loyalty and reduced churn amongst shoppers.

Performance is exceptional when distribution is firing on all cylinders. In fact, some partners have seen 25% increase in ALL referral conversions after working with us. Brands that have normal LTVs the ROI is therefore exceptional. For a modest outlay your brand can massively up its ‘referral game’, completing the missing part of the referral loop. Contact us below to find out more, including further benefits from category sponsorships.

Brands have full control on how their profile page is used. Some brands wish to control where referrals are displayed (for example only on users’ personal pages) but most understand that broader sharing have overwhelming benefits. What constitutes a friend in the age of social media is increasingly blurred and careful structuring of a referral scheme (e.g. limiting the number of referral rewards per person or making rewards contingent on certain milestones) is the best way to ensure quality sign-ups.
So brands can share where their customers' referrals appear in addition to the messages and values on the main referral profile, including, for example, review scores, more details on the schemes & time-based rewards.
ReferralCodes will share with you all activity generated from both your profile and by your advocates on a monthly basis, including analytics such as new advocates, clicks and estimated conversions. For Enterprise partners we have included explicit tracking of all activity by adding tagging. However, most brands wish to monitor the number of ‘advocates’ and outbound clicks on referral links and codes.

Personal referrals and recommendations have the very best ROI in marketing - with only a monthly commitment you can test the ReferralCodes amplification engine and find out for yourselves!

ReferralCodes is a trusted and sophisticated advocacy channel providing both immediate and long-term benefits for your brand. We are not a basic "publisher". Helping your customers advocate for your brand is a core component of ‘word-of-mouth’ marketing. ReferralCodes does exactly this. Similar to reviews, referrals and recommendations benefit your brand over an extended period of time.

Referrals also operate at multiple ‘touch-points’ of the purchasing funnel, including raising awareness of your brand, building a trusted endorsement link between existing customers and potential shoppers as well as improving conversion at the check-out basket, reducing abandonments.

All dressed up and nowhere to go? It’s tempting to set-up a referral scheme, either through third party providers or in-house, send a few comms emails to customers and leave it at that. So ‘fire and forget’. However, this usually means ‘fire and fail’. In fact, most referral schemes return disappointing results. This is because the critical part of the referral conversion loop is missing: customers aren’t able to share consistently or methodically.
ReferralCodes is the missing part of the jig-saw; a referral scheme is bit like building a beautiful car that has nowhere to go. ReferralCodes opens up the highways! A free profile on ReferralCodes is a good start, but all the action goes to our partners so contact us below to find out more and let your referral scheme breathe!
