The purpose of a referral program is to provide your customers with a way to give them incentives for referring you to new clients. When you are creating the program, you want to make sure the steps are simple so that your customers can make the process easy for them to apply to. To provide incentives, you want to have rewards that will make it worth your customer’s time to share your products and services to others. This can be given in the form of discounts, free products and services or cash options such as gift cards. The referral process should be a smooth transaction, both sides getting their benefit from it.
There are tools you can use that can create this. Using digital options such as e-mail sending, social media and of course referral software that will help setup, manage and track referrals in an automated way. Having accessible communication available about the referral program such as placing the details on a webpage on your website, makes it easy to reference. Once you have a program that is ready to go, it can be a great tool to help attract new business and at the same time reward your existing customers with their role in endorsing your business. This is one method that can be implemented to stimulate client growth for your business.
