What is a referral?

Referral involves signals or recommendations of people who get in touch with the company and suggest to third parties to turn to the same for their excellent performance.

Going into more detail, these are all the marketing initiatives that involve these subjects for acquiring new customers.

These techniques are accompanied by word-of-mouth, indeed, companies take individuals who have already tried a certain product to have a more effective communication and conversion.

Referral Program

The referral program is nothing but an agreement whereby the referral, that is the person hired to advertise a product, receives a

commission on each sale.

There are many formulas for referral programs, the main one is the member-get-member which includes benefits also for new subscribers.

If you are already a customer and you bring another, you will get a discount or a gift.

A major brand that makes extensive use of this technique is Dropbox.

This program encourages using the referral system by offering additional storage space to both existing users who manage to bring in new customers and to the new customers themselves.

In terms of the web, there is a referral when a user clicks on an advertising banner which redirects them to another page.

In short, this program is an effective marketing tool that brings great results to the company itself.

Finally, the referral program is based on customer loyalty thanks to those who already know the company and try a product.
