It might be better to have a separate button on the banner for your referral program cta, labelled 'Refer & Earn' so it is immediately visible.

However, it is good that they have placed at locations where visitors are most likely to look for when they need it.

2. Wool Overs gives referred friends a 10% discount, and rewards advocates with 5% of their friend's purchase in cash.

Most retailers prefer to give out credits or discounts for their customer referral incentive program, since it ensures future purchases.

However, referral discounts and cash make people happy, and it'll leave a good impression on your advocates. They are also more likely to tell their friends about your brand and sign up for a referral email.

Making sure your referral program messaging is aligned with your referral marketing program is important, as well as having a clean referral page template.
