What's a referral program?

A referral program is a marketing promotion where you reward customers for sharing your store with their friends.

Uber, Dropbox, and hundreds of eCommerce websites run promotions like “Get $10 off when you tell a friend about us.”

That's a referral program.

What do PayPal, Dropbox, and Uber have in common?

Dropbox increased the number of people who signed up by 60%. How? A referral program.
