Common questions when considering Birdeye referrals
What does Birdeye Referrals do?
Birdeye Referrals turns your happy customers into your most powerful marketing tool. This automated referral software makes it easy to create, send, scale and track effective referral marketing campaigns via text and email.
What's the difference between a loyalty program and a referral program?
Referral programs reward customers for referring their friends and family to a business. They work well in almost all business cases, but are especially effective for infrequent or one-time purchases like healthcare or real estate. Meanwhile, loyalty programs incentivize customers to make repeat purchases and work best for retail stores and restaurants.
When should you ask a customer for a referral?
Identifying the magic moment is tricky, but here are some scenarios that we've seen work:
- A patient loaves positive review after a dental procedure
- A customer has just bought a car and is feeling great
- 2-4 weeks after your client has moved into their new house
How do I measure the effectiveness of my referral program?
You should measure the effectiveness of your referral campaign across its life cycle in order to minimize leakages at every stage:
- Revenue generated from the referral program
- Number of referral leads received
- Number of referral messages shared by your customers
- Number of referral requests sent to customers
Why do I need referral software?
Physical referrals aren't scalable or trackable-just think about all the unredeemed referral coupons stuck under car seats or washed with the laundry. Referral software lets you send personalized referral requests to happy customers and experiment with incentives. You can track and maximize SUCCESS with end-to-end campaign reporting.
How can I ensure that only my happy customers get referral requests?
You can easily pair Birdeye Referrals with Birdeye Reviews, your CRM or NPS software to send automated referral requests to only your happiest customers. Birdeye offers out-of-the-box integrations to 3,000+ apps such as Salesforce, Hubspot, and more.
How do I choose the right referral incentives?
While it depends on your unique business goals, here are some best practices:
- Reward both referrers and their friends
- Cash rewards are easy, scalable, and universally loved
- Tie it back to your business. For example:
- A dental practice can offer teeth hitening services
- A real estate firm can offer a finder's fee
What are the main capabilities within Birdeye Referrals?
Birdeye Referrals lets you:
- Automate referral marketing by integrating with your CRM
- Get referrals via text, email, social website, or on your mobile app
- Test and optimize campaign messaging and incentives
