Tag Super-Referrers and Sleepers for Special Treatment

As Mailchimp migrates from static segments and lists to tags, ReferralCandy helps you make the most of this feature by allowing you to tag customers who perform exceptionally in your referral program: for example, Super-Referrers, who have brought in a super-high number of new customers through referrals, and Sleepers, who may have trouble getting their first referral reward.

Sort and see who your most influential referrers are, and who needs a little bit of help

Being able to identify the Super-Referrers in your customer base is valuable because it’ll help you identify which of your customers might be influencers, special affiliates, connectors, or simply very well-networked in their community. They’re the MVP of your customer base, and it’s a chance to offer them something exclusive and special. Who knows, you could strike up a valuable marketing partnership with them - the sky’s the limit!

You can look forward to greater integration with more features, and an ecosystem of interconnected apps to help you deliver a better customer experience and drive more sales through your store.

I’m very excited by what 2019 will bring, and I look forward to share what we have in the pipeline with you.
