Referral Loop
A referral loop is a specific type of growth loop where existing customers bring in new customers through incentivized or organic sharing. Each new customer has the potential to refer more customers, creating a compounding acquisition channel.
Examples
A fintech app gives both the referrer and the new user a $10 credit, creating a referral loop where each new user is incentivized to invite their own network.
Best Practices
Make the referral process effortless with pre-written messages and one-click sharing, offer two-sided incentives, and track referral quality alongside volume.
