How it works

Employee Referral Programs

Engaging

Your referral program is embedded within your website or intranet and promoted to your workforce via email, your HR team, workplace posters, team leaders, etc.

Sharing

Every employee who gets involved receives a unique link and a unique code, which they can share with their friends via any app installed on their chosen device.

Transacting

When their friends click these links or use the referrer’s code, they receive an incentive to transact online, in-store or by phone. Once the transaction takes place, a pending referral is logged.

Rewarding

Buyapowa verifies the friend’s transaction against your business rules to confirm the referral, then delivers rewards to both the friend and the employee, who is also incentivized to introduce more friends.

Case study: Telecoms group

Keen to explore ways to reward its workforce while also delivering value, this European provider of television, broadband, fixed line and mobile services introduced a referral program for its highly-knowledgeable and passionate call-center staff.

Employees were able to receive cash rewards or choose from a number of third-party gift cards for every friend who purchased a monthly plan, while those friends were offered similar rewards once they’d paid their second monthly bill.

After six months, the program was augmented with rewards that flexed in line with the value of any purchased plan, plus bonus rewards for employees who achieved multiple referrals.
