For all you tech-enabled companies out there it’s hard not to hear about AI, lay-offs, and business priorities shifting to an “efficiency” mindset. (Speaking of efficiency, you know referral programs are a perfect way to get more with less… Just saying 😀)

The Year of efficiency- Part 1 How to use ChatGPT as a partner for an efficient marketing team.

Listen now (30 min) | Part of One of our series on “The year of efficiency”. We look into how you run efficient teams and efficient marketing practices. We talk a bit about “ChatGPT” and how a marketer can use it to create efficient processes. Do you really know your buyer’s journey? There’s a clear need to understand the steps your buyers go through when buying your product, but often marketers aren’t looking closely at the data.

🤔 Fun Referral Stat

While extremely popular, gift card rewards only make up 50% of all incentives sent by Referral Rock customers!

With such a diverse customer base, we believe it’s important to offer a wide range of reward options. This is why in addition to gift cards, Referral Rock Customers can send rewards via coupon, PayPal and Wise.
