The Most Comprehensive Guide to Referral Programs
Referral programs are the most recommended marketing strategy.
They’re described as “a standout winner that can’t be touched by any other method” by Forbes, and “the second highest source of quality leads” by Social Media Today.
As a form of word-of-mouth marketing, referral programs make it easier and more rewarding for others to share your brand. It can be a customer, an employee, or a partner – whenever a referral ends in a sale, there’s a reward for their effort.
Whether you’re about to start your first referral program, or looking to improve your current marketing campaign, our referral program resource has you covered.
