The average value of a referred customer is at least 16% higher than that of a non-referred customer. So what is the most effective reward to encourage more referrals? P.S.: Remember to pre-fill referral messages for your customers to make them even more effective. Previous insight: When to use horizontal vs vertical product layouts (100+ more insights here) Non-money rewards generate more referrals for lower costsChannels: Referrals | Word of mouth 📈 RecommendationTo encourage more referrals, don’t give money rewards to customers that refer you (e.g. Invite a friend and get $20, Earn a $5 discount). Instead, offer non-money rewards such as a free extra product (e.g. an ebook for free) or more quantity (e.g. 1 extra bottle of wine, more data storage). It doesn’t have to be one of your own products (e.g. tickets to the neighborhood cinema). If both the person referring and the invited friend get a reward, then money rewards should also work well. 🎓 Findings
🧠 Why it works
Google Drive and Dropbox are fine for storing everything, but they fall flat when it comes to creative collaboration and scalability on images and videos. Air enables seamless collaboration across the entire content library of a business. Work happens directly in the visual asset, not in a spreadsheet or side email. Air is the modern solution for digital asset management and creative operations. This announcement was sponsored. Want your brand here? Click here. ✋ Limitations

Remember: This is a scientific discovery. In the future it will probably be better understood and could even be proven wrong (that’s how science works). It may also not be generalizable to your situation. If it’s a risky change, always test it on a small scale before rolling it out widely.
