PUSH & ORGANIC REFERRAL

If you give people cash or freebies to get them to recommend your brand or product, you destroy that trust à that’s why naLve ads is increasing.
Push referral works as long as the value to the “Direk” significantly appealing. Remember Consumer net value concept. (All Advantages Should Be Bigger Than The Perceived Risk). Case: MLM à People Focus on Themselves. Rela4onship Principle: Secure Other’s Concern First.
ORGANIC Expensive, Need More Effort To Establish, But So Powerful.
Frequent Cases Extremely Happy Customer: Excellent Purchase Process Powerful Product/Content Twist/Surprise/Drama Complaint Customer Passive Referral (By Request) Social Pressure (People want to be perceived as “updated”, become part of the bigger community.) Brand Advocate
ORGANIC Define your goal of referral. (Traffic? Database? TransacLon?) Iden5fying Your “Direk” Who are They? What value can you offer that relevant to them? Iden5fying Your “Perek” Who are They? IdenLfying the Hot BuWon: Discount? Status? Virtual goods?
