THE PRINCIPLE OF REFERRAL

Encourage your customers to recommend you to their social circle and reward everyone’s activities!

Paul, who is a loyal customer of a store, invites his brother John to join his loyalty program.
Once registered, John earns a €5 voucher while Paul’s account is credited with 50 points.

The referrer as well as the referee are both rewarded, while the retailer gains an additional loyal customer – everyone wins! The entire process is managed through the Loyalty Operator platform; you simply have to decide on the rewards to be awarded.

REFERRALS IS AN EFFECTIVE MARKETING TOOL

Referrals are an effective marketing technique since they combine customer acquisition with their retention.

Customers that are already impressed with your brand become your ambassadors, gladly recommending you to their entourage, with their role as advocates making them effective promoters. Their enthusiasm and credibility facilitate the recruitment of new members.

With the Loyalty Operator relational marketing platform, your referral program is implemented via the automation of the emails sent to both parties:

« Thank you for registering, John! Don’t hesitate in taking advantage of your welcome offer – a €5 voucher! » 
« Paul, John has just signed up for the loyalty program. 50 points have been credited to your account for this new referral! »
