Display customer referral link after checkout
After a customer places an order, it’s the perfect time to engage with them while their excitement is at its peak. By introducing your referral program at this moment, you can turn a positive purchase experience into an opportunity for organic growth. Gameball now offers a referral block that appears once an order is completed, highlighting the reward customers can earn by referring friends and providing their unique referral link. Benefits:
  1. Encourage immediate sharing: Displaying the referral prompt right after an order is completed taps into the customer’s post-purchase enthusiasm, increasing the likelihood of referrals.
  2. Boost customer acquisition: Leveraging recent buyers’ excitement can lead to more personal recommendations, attracting high-quality new customers through word-of-mouth.
