How Referral Campaign Works

Our easy-to-use referral campaign tool allows you to create a personalized campaign in four easy steps. Encourage your loyal customers to refer your business to friends and families and reward customers with exclusive offers and deals.

Make sharing easy.

Target your best advocates.

Select your most loyal or happy customers to send the referral message to. These are the people most likely to share and bring you new business.

See referrals turn into results.

Send your campaign and watch clicks, claims, and new customers appear in real time. TruText’s analytics and validation codes make it easy to reward the right customers.
