Referral campaign builder

Introduction

Referral campaigns can significantly amplify your referral marketing efforts. Utilize the design tool to smoothly adjust layouts and improve both textual and visual elements.

General

The main section allows you to set up core campaign parameters, including visibility settings, campaign title, and incentives for both advocates and their referred contacts.

  • Campaign Status - If the campaign is toggled ON, it will be rendered on any page you have embedded it
  • Campaign Name - This is an internal name to identify your campaign
  • Embedded Campaign - This is the HTML snippet code you can add to any Shopify page through your theme code
  • Advocate Incentive - This is a discount code that will be generated for the referring customer after the referred friend places their first order. The advocates need to follow a link sent by email to claim their reward
  • Friend Incentive - This is a discount code that is generated once the referred friend follows the referral link to claim the reward.

Advocate Signup

This screen greets customers when they first access your dedicated referral page or encounter your embedded campaign. It serves as the entry point for joining your referral program.

Advocate Share

After signup, customers are directed to this page. Here, they can generate and duplicate their unique referral link for sharing across various platforms.

Upon successfully completing a referral, customers are shown this page. They receive a link to view their reward via the 'Referral Completed' email notification.

Friend Claim

When referred friends click a referral link, they land on this page. At this stage, they must provide their email address to secure their reward.
