Our templates are referral flows designed to serve specific marketing campaign needs for different sectors and based on different goals.
Let's try to list which template you can use based on different approaches:
1) Type of referral Campaigns and their equivalent templates
The types of campaigns you can run are Customer Referral Programs, Pre-launch/Waitlist Campaigns, Giveaway Campaigns, Offline to Online Campaigns.
On the Customer Referral Program, the main flow is when an existing participant of the campaign shares a unique link to their friends and they get rewarded when their friends use that link to sign up or to complete a custom action. These campaigns are mostly used by established businesses aiming to increase the engagement of their users and grow their e-mailing list and traffic on their websites.
