[July 2023] Program template picker is here
Customer referral vs affiliate programs, product updates, customer love & more
Welcome to the July 2023 roundup, where we share what’s new in Referral Rock. 🤠Other semi-monthly editions include Data Insights and Feature Updates.
Hi there,
Happy mid-summer — we hope it’s been a good one for you so far!
July marked the launch of our new Program Template Picker. 🥳 Whenever you start a new program on Referral Rock, you can choose between a Customer Referral Program and an Affiliate & Partner Program, with templates for each.
What’s the difference between these types of programs? you might be wondering (don’t worry — many people confuse them). Some key distinctions:
🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏽 Customer referral programs | 📢 Affiliate marketing programs |
More on the new program picker (+ other updates) below. 👇
Until next time!

Program Template Picker: When you add a program to a new or existing account, you can now choose between a Customer Referral, Affiliate & Partner, or Not Sure option. Picking a program type will determine your initial program settings and provide you a template for building. The settings can be modified at any time.
