Let’s look at some of the surprising takeaways you can expect the report to highlight. Firstly, people refer… a lot. An overwhelming 95% of people have engaged in referral programs, recommending brands, products, or services to friends within the last year. And how many referral invitations do people receive? Well, most people receive two to five referral invitations per year. This signifies that, whether sending or receiving, referrals are a staple in consumer behavior, highlighting their essential place in the marketing strategies of businesses. So people are referring. But, is it hitting home and resulting in real conversions? The data says yes. In fact, 95% of people have guided their friends to make at least one transaction the past year. Boomers, while fewer in numbers, typically make one successful referral annually, similar to Millennials, with a maximum of five. In contrast, it’s rare for Gen Z to make just one referral in a given year, and they are much more likely to make more than one successful one, showcasing their consistent engagement in referral activities. We know that people are referring successfully, but which rewards are driving this behaviour and which rewards have they come to expect? There are a number of ways to look at reward values, as a percentage of lifetime value, basket size, or relative to one product price. [Our research](https://labs.buyapowa.com/reward-revolution-report) delves into how to value rewards, whether they be cash, discounts, or gift cards, and which rewards are most conducive to conversions and meeting customer expectations. And of course, this is broken down across generation and territory. For example, here’s a visual representation of the most popular brands people cited as their choice of gift card – in all countries, across all ages.
