You can design a referral program that will entice employees and customers to provide more referrals. By offering merchandise rewards, you can generate excitement and produce bottom line results. Reward program recipients need to have a clear understanding of the linkage between their referral activity and the rewards available for them to earn. With the tools, experience and hands-on approach of Awards Network, your referral reward program will create that important link.
By taking into consideration the following referral reward program tips, you can maximize the results of your program:
- Offer recipients a wide variety of lifestyle merchandise that will appeal to people in any demographic and entice them to participate in the referral program.
- Allow people who provide multiple referrals to select from higher denomination reward levels to entice repeat referrals in the future.
- Communicate the referral reward program to employees or customers at the end of orientation or a consultation/purchase to entice participation.
- Follow up with a person who provides a referral with a thank you note and referral reward ordering instructions.
- Permit recipients to redeem their referral rewards online, by mail, fax or any other method that makes sense for your referral program.
- Check in with people who have provided referrals in the past by providing referral reward program updates.
