Customer Referral Program Definition

A customer referral program is a marketing strategy that rewards existing customers for referring friends, family, or colleagues to a product or service. It leverages word-of-mouth marketing to generate qualified leads and new customers through trusted recommendations.

How Customer Referral Program Works

  • Businesses create referral offers or incentives (discounts, cash rewards).

  • Existing customers share unique referral links or codes.

  • New customers sign up or purchase using referrals.

  • Referrers receive rewards after successful conversions.

Example of Customer Referral Program

A ride-sharing app offers $10 in credits to both the referrer and the new user after the new user's first ride.
