By WooCommerce.com
Best for: Stores already on AutomateWoo that want a coupon-based referral program with store credit.
Overview
Quickly set up a referral program and increase word-of-mouth marketing on your store with this WooCommerce plugin. You can run a coupon-based campaign where brand advocates share amazing coupons with their friends and family and in return receive store credit. You can easily manage a referral program from your WooCommerce dashboard. With AutomateWoo, you can also enable a manual or automatic referral approval process, thus any customer can become a referral after being checked for fraudulent activities.
AutomateWoo is the perfect marketing plugin if you want to automate and handle multiple backend processes like follow-up emails, SMS notifications, review rewards, etc. It also offers a social marketing add-on, that is **Refer-a-Friend**. This add-on enables you to add a customer referral program and increase word-of-mouth and organic marketing. This is highly effective as consumers are more likely to trust their friends and families rather than a paid advertisement. The plugin gives you the option to either run a “coupon-based” or “link-based” referral campaign.Pros and cons
