Referral and loyalty

Invite customers to recommend a product or return for another purchase.

25 services to examine against their role and your requirements.

When this category helps

You want to reward referrals or repeat purchases.

A test before commitment

Simulate a valid referral, self-referral, return and reward expiry. Check the recorded cost.

The mistake to avoid

Rewarding purchases that would have happened anyway can increase cost without creating additional value.

Evidence to request

Model reward economics, abuse controls, eligibility, redemption and attribution to genuine incremental demand.
