11 ways to build an effective referral marketing system

We all know referral marketing is savvy marketing. Recruiting new customers from satisfied, existing customers is just good business. However, building the most effective referral marketing system can be a challenge. So what are the key objectives to keep in mind when building or revamping your referral marketing system? Set expectations upfront; let customers know that you want their feedback or will ask for it in the future. Transparency is vital for building customer trust. Second, analyze before you implement. Put simply; make sure your customers are satisfied before rushing to them for reviews and referrals. Otherwise, no one’s happy. Next, create multiple referral paths for customers. No two customers are the same, so it’s always a smart idea to communicate with customers in a way that is simple and efficient for them. With a few small changes, your company could be well equipped to build a successful and sustainable referral marketing program. Want more detail? Click the link to read more.
