Once you’ve built and launched your referral program, the goal should be to get as many people referring as possible.
The best way to make sure your referral campaign is a success is to get as many people referring as possible.
To help you do that, Referral Factory gives you lots of options to promote your referral program and bring the maximum number of referrers.
In this help guide we will show you all the promotional tools that you can use to get more referrals 👇
Let's take a look at each of them individually, and see how you can promote your referral campaigns 👇
- Get your join link, and let people register to refer
This is your campaign link to share with customers so they can register and get their unique referral links.
This is your campaign QR code automatically generated so that people who want to become referrers can scan it to join your referral campaign.
You can include this in an email blast to users or text them a link or add it to your website.

- Generate referral links for your CRM contacts
This will allow you to sync your CRM contacts or a specific list of contacts to your referral campaign and call their unique referral links back to your CRM.

- Install a widget on your website or in your app
To make it even easier for you to get people to join your referral campaign, you can install the widget on your website (logged-out users) or in your app (logged-in users, if you have an app or you have a dashboard).
Install a widget in your app for your logged-in users
This will allow your users to skip the first step for person referring pages in one click 👏

- Install a pop up on your website or in your app
You can install a pop-up on your website (logged-out users) or in your app (logged-in users, if you have an app or you have a dashboard).
Install a pop-up in your app for your logged-in users
If your users or customers have a portal that they can log into, you can also install the pop-up inside that logged-in environment. This will help get more people referring as customers can surface their users' referral links making it easy for them to refer friends without having to join the campaign to get their links
An example of a pop-up when logged in 👇
Install a pop-up on your website for your logged-out users

- Upload and email your contacts their referral links
You can email your contacts/users their referral links directly.
All you need to do is upload a list of users, craft and style your email, and hit send.
- Select the campaign you want to use for sending emails to your contacts.
- From your “Promote the campaign” tab, click on “upload your contacts and email them their referral links” option.
- Click on “Create Email”
When you click on create email, you will be directed to an email builder page where you have the option to edit and style your own email to send your users their referral links.
You also have the option to send a test email to see how your email looks.
Once you're happy with your email, click Next → select the CSV file you want to upload.
Once you’ve uploaded your CSV, you need to map out the fields you want to include when you add the users to your campaign. To do this, mark which columns in the file correspond to the fields from the campaign.
You can also choose to overwrite any existing users. This means if a user is already in your campaign and they are also in this CSV file, their data will not be updated or overwritten. Selecting this option also means that the users you add to the campaign will NOT be sent an email notification.
Once you're happy with your email setup, hit confirm and send.
This is a once-off email that you can send to users, assign each one their own referral link to encourage them to start referring.
