Many companies were built by having a referral program. These companies include Uber, Dropbox, Airbnb, and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I personally discovered Uber through a referral program when a friend recommended them to me when I needed a ride. He told me to use his link, and I&#8217;ve been a paying customer ever since (over eight years, give or take). I started using them when they only offered rides, and since they released Uber Eats, I now also use them to order food. Overall I have spent thousands of dollars using their services since I became a client. Not to mention I referred them to many others over the years. So now you decide. Is one free ride to the referrer and the referral worth gaining such a client?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Using a referral program for your service business is no different. I&#8217;ve been testing this at a much lower scale for years, and in this blog post, I will show you how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingofmaids.com\/give-50-get-50\/\">King of Maids uses a referral program<\/a> to drive more customers. We have this set up to be completed automatically, and we spend 0 hours leveraging this strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let&#8217;s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To have a successful referral program, you need three key parts: provide excellent service, promote it actively, and implement one ASAP. The rest of the post will focus on each of these parts separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Provide excellent service<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2596\" height=\"1454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM.png 2596w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM-1536x860.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM-2048x1147.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-02-13-at-12.32.00-PM-1568x878.png 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2596px) 100vw, 2596px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first part may seem obvious, but you&#8217;d be surprised how many people neglect this part. Providing good service is the key to growth, and it&#8217;s the only way someone will want to refer your company to their loved ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take care of your existing clients! We have many clients for who we&#8217;ve billed $50,000+ in services in a 2-5 year span. These are not businesses. These are individuals who need their homes cleaned regularly. These clients are also our loyal supporters who regularly promote us to their loved ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One mistake I see beginners make is they focus on new clients. They blow their budget on marketing to try and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/how-to-start-a-business-7-steps-to-freedom\/\">attract as many clients as possible<\/a>, neglecting the important ones that are already paying. For example, if you screw something up, give someone a discount, so they continue being a client. It&#8217;s much cheaper to do so than to spend money acquiring a new one. Not to mention, keeping someone happy will give them a reason to promote your business for you. Just imagine losing a client who paid you $50,000 (lifetime) because you broke a picture frame and didn&#8217;t give them $100 in credits towards a cleaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: We spend most of our marketing budget finding cleaners instead of marketing our services. We have been doing this for years because by finding more good cleaners, combined with a good referral program, you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/starting-a-service-type-business-has-never-been-easier\/\">gain clients at the lowest costs<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Promote your referral program actively<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s true if you accomplish the above step (step 1) and provide excellent service, your loyal users will refer you even if you don&#8217;t reward them for it. However, if you incorporate a referral program that rewards them, it will drive even more people to participate, and in the long run, you&#8217;ll see the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here is what we do at King of Maids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3040\" height=\"1264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2.png 3040w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2-1024x426.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2-768x319.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2-1536x639.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2-2048x852.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/referral-2-1568x652.png 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3040px) 100vw, 3040px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We&#8217;ve been offering a $50-$50 referral program for years now, and we actively promote it to our users.

Some customers will naturally learn about this page by exploring their accounts after getting one. For those that aren&#8217;t so curious, we remind them of the referral program in various ways. The first is by including a banner in all of our emails:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2474\" height=\"1286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5.png 2474w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5-1024x532.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5-768x399.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5-1536x798.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5-2048x1065.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Referrral-5-1568x815.png 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2474px) 100vw, 2474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We include this Give $50 &#8211; Get $50 banner inside all of our emails sent out to a customer. This naturally reminds them about our referral program, and if someone clicks on this banner, they are redirected to a page where they can learn more about it. Each time a customer gets a booking reminder email, a reminder to tip their provider, a cancellation email, a reminder to rate their recent service, they always see this banner, reminding them of the referral program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The next thing we do is leverage 1 of our SMS triggers to get people to use the Referral program. The trigger looks like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2492\" height=\"1426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6.png 2492w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6-1024x586.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6-1536x879.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6-2048x1172.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Image-6-1568x897.png 1568w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2492px) 100vw, 2492px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This SMS gets automatically sent out to a recurring customer who rates the service 4 out of 5 or higher. We send out an SMS here instead of email because most users rate from their phones, and the moment they submit the review, the SMS will show up on their phone. This increases the chance of them opening up the text right away and referring someone. (This is also one of the reasons why our internal review is so powerful.

I designed this after using other software and seeing companies upsell after the initial purchase. It works brilliantly, and we decided to build this out inside BookingKoala as well. Right after someone completes a booking, they are shown this on the thank you page:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Thank-you-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3034\" height=\"1332\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s a game-changer because instead of showing nothing, you&#8217;ll get extra clients from someone who just booked. It&#8217;s also a great place to educate new users of your Referral program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Implement a Referral program ASAP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The last point out of the 3 is to set up a referral program from the start. It&#8217;s crucial for every user who books a service from your company to find out about your referral program. The more users learn about it, the more you will get out of it, hence why there&#8217;s no point in waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='bg-light rounded-5 my-30 d-flex overflow-hidden align-items-center row'>\n\t\t<div class='col-lg-5 p-0'>\n\t\t<img alt='bookingkoala' src='https:\/\/www.bookingkoala.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bookingkoala-feedback-9.jpg' class='img-fluid px-30 pt-30 pb-lg-30' width='750' height='754'>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class='col-lg-7 p-30 text-center text-lg-start'>\n\t\t<h4 class='h5 fw-bold mb-30'>Join Our Facebook Community<\/h4>\n\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/bookingkoala' target='_blank' class='btn btn-primary border-0 btn-lg'>Join Facebook Group<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Also, not everyone will continue using the program. Some folks will book and refer right on your thank you page, then never refer again or visit the dashboard or even book with you. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to start such a process immediately when you launch because otherwise, those are opportunities that otherwise would&#8217;ve been missed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Referral programs, when executed correctly, can be a fantastic marketing tactic for any business.
