Use case: referral and affiliate programmes
Turn the people who know you into new business.
A referral programme in your brand. Customers, partners and staff refer new business, you see every referral and where it is up to, and they earn a reward when it meets your rules.
The problem
Most referrals die in an inbox.
A customer mentions a friend, a partner forwards a lead, and then nobody hears what happened. The referrer is never thanked, so they stop referring. A referral programme works when it is easy to refer, clear about the reward and quick to say where each referral is up to.
What you can run
Referral programmes you can run on RewardCo
Customer referrals
Customers refer friends and earn a reward when the referral meets your rules.
Partner referrals
Partners and resellers refer new business through a portal in your brand, and earn points for each one you win.
Staff referrals
Staff refer new clients or people for open roles, and are thanked with points when the referral comes through.
Several offers at once
Run different referral offers for different groups, each with its own rules and reward.
How it works
From referral to reward in four steps
The same steps for one referral or a thousand.
Four steps: the referrer submits a referral on your branded site, your team reviews it, its status updates as it moves, and the referrer earns a reward when it meets your rules.
- 01
Refer
The referrer signs in to your branded site and submits the details of the person or business.
- 02
Review
Your team, or ours, reviews the referral and follows it up.
- 03
Track
The referral moves from new to in progress to won, and the referrer can see where it is up to.
- 04
Reward
When the referral meets your rules, the referrer gets points, a gift card or a payout to their bank.
Example
Example: a partner referral programme
A software company asks its partners to refer new clients. Each partner has an account on a site in the company's brand, refers a business in a few fields and earns points when the business signs up. The company sees every referral in one list and thanks its best referrers each quarter.
