Extole vs. Referrizer Referral Marketing Automation

Anyone that has a business with a high NPS score should take advantage of this acquisition channel. If your business isn't promotional in nature (i.e., doesn't offer discounts), this type of program may not be as effective. It is important for both the advocate and the recipient to get something out of it. If only the advocate gets rewarded, it will likely diminish your returns.

If you have offers and specials that you would like to run regularly or loyalty programs then this is an excellent tool for that. It works really well for repeat clients and for brick-and-mortar locations. It also works well if you need to communicate via text on a regular basis.

• Lacks geo filtering capabilities (i..e, ability to serve refer a friend only to visitors from specific countries). Our team had to put that logic in place on our side instead of relying on Extole.
• Platform requires assistance from account manager for some actions/features that should be in the hand of the client.
• Quality Control has been an issue at time. Our program has gone down because a new global platform update went out and affected our implementation. Extole has been responsive in these types of incidents, but that should not happen.

• There could be some improvement with how quickly the text messages are sent.
• There could also be some improvement with the way clients are segmented.

More robust on fraud side. Good support.

Referizzer had more features like texting and Referizzer's newsletter tool is easier to use and didn't have the bugs that Constant Contact has. Constant Contact did not offer the loyalty option or coupon offers that link to the website. I also like the review options where we can ask for and filter company reviews.

• It took a few months to become ROI positive with Extole, but the ROAS has been good since. It probably represents about 2% of our new customers per month.

• I had more return clients since using Referizzer, which is significant.
• Referrizer is a bit expensive so you have to make sure you are using it regularly to make it worth the cost.
