Referrals have proven to be one of the most valuable forms of marketing. Not only do most of us look to others for product and service recommendations, but these recommendations also come with a high level of trust.
Here are some interesting facts about referrals:
- Customers are 4x times more likely to purchase when their friends refer them.
- The lifetime value of referrals is 16% higher than customers acquired through other channels.
- Referrals have an 18% lower churn rate than other customers. They’ll stay longer with your store.
