The integration with Salesforce is a magic feature

This is not just a tool, but an investment into clients' growth with a modern solution in addition to a very responsive and helpful support team who are always on the line. In our case, it is very important to save time and budget while referring new clients and then benefit from each successful referral. This automated solution helped to adjust this flow and grow faster.

PROS

The ability to be integrated with Salesforce really boosted all the processes of business. The integration feature helped to use the Referal Factory for maximum and it helped to achieve the OKRs even faster. I am amazed by this integration!

CONS

What did you like least about Referral Factory?The solution requires charging customers to pay an additional fee in case of using the customer's own domain, so these are additional expenses.

Reasons for switching to Referral Factory

I needed a product with a wider set of tools for my own preferences. Also, I needed a platform that could afford a wide range of users to use it.

Referral Factory has been a game-changer for our consulting business

Referral Factory has been a game-changer for our management consulting business. While there are some areas for improvement, such as the user interface and initial setup process, the platform's impact on our business has been significant. The integration with Hubspot is seamless, and the ability to incentivise customers to refer their friends and family has led to a steady stream of high-quality leads. The team at Referral Factory has been supportive and responsive, providing valuable insights into optimising our referral programme. We highly recommend Referral Factory as an excellent investment for any business looking to grow and increase sales.

PROS

Referral Factory has had a significant impact on our business by generating more referrals and boosting sales. The integration with Hubspot is seamless and makes it easy to manage our sales pipeline and track progress. The ability to incentivise customers to refer their friends and family is a great feature that has led to a steady stream of high-quality leads. The team at Referral Factory is supportive, responsive, and provides valuable insights into optimising our referral programme. I will also give a shout-out to [sensitive content hidden] for their support throughout our 18 months so far with the business providing great customer support.

CONS

The user interface could be more user-friendly, especially for those who are not familiar with referral marketing. The initial setup process can be somewhat time-consuming for the user, however, I understand this is also important to make sure everything is set up correctly.

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

We found it just suited our requirements at the time. Also being based in the UK, it was great to deal with a business in similar timezones.

Great start, plenty room for growth!

Amazing support form all involved, and loving being a part of your growth! Fingers crossed our two campaigns are a hit so I can really brag for you ;)

PROS

Integration was easy, support is exceptional, service is top-notch, rewards system is easy and intuitive. And honestly, the layout and design of the campaign creator is great, just needs a few more features to be perfect!

CONS

I do find myself having to create media libraries etc to simulate a dashboard which should really be standard with any affiliate program. Also the Hubspot integration also had some issues, which was clearly from my side in the end, but could have been avoided.

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

Because you market your product better and we were impressed by your examples and templates

Great experience! The platform is very insightful, and it's easy to manage!

As I've said above, the platform is very intuitive and easy to use. The structure is almost perfect and you can handle multiple things at once without any hassle!

PROS

It's a very intuitive platform. Great management structure, with lots of options. You can manage the progress of each influencer and set up a rewards system!

CONS

You can't create your referral codes. It's not a big deal, but I hope they enable this in the future!

Having a "virtual team member" bringing us referrals each day was our best acquisitions channel

The template designs were great for inspiration, and allowed us to see the range of functionality for bringing in videos, which is what our business is premised on. The activation of the campaign was great, and it was easy to surface the campaign on our website, and in an emailer to our existing clients.The outcome of the campaign is really where the value lies - seeing good quality new customers, with an added benefit of network effects keeps them spending more, and churning less. So I'd highly advise the software for SMBs.

PROS

The easy onboarding and ability to choose a template made it easy to see an immediate impact visually. We could connect Hubspot to the product, and then let all our customers know that they could refer their friends, and earn a free month of subscription. I really like that Referral Factory allows me as an entrepreneur to see the metrics associated with acquisition volumes and costs. There were many rewards options and their support team was at the ready for us.

CONS

I understand that SaaS limits flexibility in how generic it might be, but one area that could be a benefit is easier mapping and notification prompts of emails. Perhaps there could be some notifications beyond email, or a daily/weekly summary of the campaign as well.

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

It came down to the Hubspot integration, which is seamless with Referral Factory.

the right support team make your customers happy

As a team member, I have been utilizing Referral Factory to manage a small business for the past years, and it has proven to be an exceptional resource for me. The platform's user-friendly interface and simple navigation make it effortless for me to develop various referral campaigns tailored to different areas of my business. I appreciate the flexibility of the customizable layouts and the extensive range of reward choices available, which enables me to motivate our current customers to refer new ones to my company.

PROS

An aspect that holds great significance for me is the quality of customer support provided by the company. Specifically, they have been instrumental in assisting me with the integration of my Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, and have continued to offer their expertise whenever I require guidance or recommendations.

CONS

You are unable to generate coupon codes, but rather limited to uploading and distributing them.

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

I was contacted by their sales team, and they were very informative and friendly. Also, one of my friends recommended them to me, and for me, trustworthiness is a very important factor.

Easy to use and great price

In the first three months, I was able to see a difference in client uptick. We have more leads and a better quality of customers.

PROS

As a small business owner, I appreciate the low price and the ease of use. I was able to get some help I needed to get set up by [sensitive content hidden] so I did not have any trouble. Many other plug in referral apps are basic and inefficient and come with no support. I like to be able to contact someone who knows my issues any time I need to.

CONS

So far, I have found nothing to complain about. I am not as skilled with software as some so it took some time to get used to but I got help from [sensitive content hidden] right away!

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

The pricepoint with Referral Factory was easier on my budget and the great reviews in customer service gave me a good feeling about the team.

HubSpot Integration is a game changer for my marketing agency!

As a marketing agency owner, I am always looking for ways to streamline my processes and boost my clients' success. Referral Factory has been a game changer in this regard, especially with its HubSpot integration. We have been using the software for over a year now, and it has helped us generate a significant number of quality leads through our referral program. The platform is easy to use and has made our campaigns more effective and efficient.

PROS

The HubSpot integration has been a huge asset for us. It has made it easy to track and manage our referral campaigns right within our CRM system. This has allowed us to measure the success of our campaigns more accurately and make data-driven decisions to optimize our efforts. The visual dashboard is also very useful in monitoring our growth and progress.

CONS

While the software fulfills all our campaign needs, we would appreciate the ability to pay rewards to qualifying referrals directly through the platform. However, this is not a deal-breaker for us as we have been able to work around it.

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

Referral Factory offers better integration with the tools and platforms that I use (HubSpot).

Our referral program is generating high quality leads

Easy and seamless and it was delivering results in a matter of days. Our users are sharing their referral links like crazy.

PROS

We looked at a lot of solutions and this really was the best for customer referral programs. Our program was up and running in a few days and we were happy with the support received, everything was smooth sailing. We also really like the referral analytics they offer.

CONS

We found it hard to embed the pop up but managed to get it right in the end.

Reason for choosing Referral Factory

Because we got the most amount of features with referral factory and the price is fair. The main reason was actually because we can integrate with hub spot deals.

Good pricing with the best support in Arsen.

I was having issues with differentiating active referrals from spam referrals who never subscribed to my online course but kept adding referral points to the link owners. Since my switch to Referral Factory, only active referrals are considered thereby increasing my overall sales.

PROS

The referral conversion management and tracking system is so easy to use and implement even after integration of Salesforce.

CONS

I haven't notice anything wrong with the current setup for now.

Reasons for switching to Referral Factory

The lesser pricing cost made me switch at first, but the superior costumer support (all thanks to Arsen) was enough to convince me to stay with Referral Factory.

The Best Referral Software Platform

Overall, we had a great experience using the platform.

PROS

Referral Factory has made it easy to track the growth of our referrals on its software without the help of a developer. The rapid increase in the number of our subscribers has impacted our audience reach. The referral factory has a modernized referral template which makes it easy to set up a referral program in no time. I had a little technical issue which was quickly handled by Hayk, one of their customer representatives. I have the best experience so far

CONS

The inability to use software platforms for the mass schedule on our other social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, is what we will love Referral Factory to work on. Other than this, we have no challenges using the referral platform.

Great Integration with Hub Spot

I needed a robust Referral Management and Communication system which would link to Hubspot without needing to hire a team of people to get it set up and running. It automates a lot of things which would otherwise either not get done at all, or simply get pushed back until more important / urgent things were completed.

PROS

As someone who thought they knew what they needed, but didn't have any technical expertise, Referral Factory made it easy to see how I could set up a schema and link to Hubspot. My ideal referral system is complicated, as it is built around my belief that customers are more likely to buy from me if someone they know has referred them. In turn, this reinforces the awareness of my product (which is a course).

CONS

It took longer than I had planned to get set up - I thought it would be fairly simple and assumed I knew how to get it set up. I didn't have the technical expertise so everything took longer and there were lots of features to explore. Additional how-to videos would be useful for those like me. That said, support is great and they were quick to come to my assistance and get me back on track.

Vendor Response

Our seamless integration with Hubspot allows users to easily set up a referral program that reinforces brand awareness and drives sales. While there may be a slight learning curve for those without technical expertise, our support and automation features will help you in the journey. Thanks for your review Alison!

Referrals for Affiliate Marketing Offer Wall

Very good...and I am happy to recommend them to others, especially interested in their primary use case.We wanted to launch a referral program in a short amount of time. We were able to do so with their assistance.

PROS

Their willingness to work with us to find solutions to how we wanted to implement their features. Sometimes, we needed to spell out the needs and things we wanted to accomplish, but RF was always very willing to engage.Scheduling time with the right people was very easy, despite significant time zone differences.RF made people available for critical milestones as we launched the program and always had people available to engage whether through chat or setting up meetings.Off-the-shelf features and use cases is the way to go with them. They are continually rolling out new features and able to respond quickly to any concerns or issues that arise.The flexibility of the APIs was great, but not always clear on what is supported...need to test things out to see if it works the way they think it will.

CONS

Overall, in the 5 months since we went live, we have seen the features increase and mature, but there were areas that were somewhat green when we started.

This amazing software simplified my life and gave time back in my day!

PROS

The package is extremely user friendly. My team stopped wasting time learning and familiarizing themselves with the software for weeks and with drop down menus, everything is taking much less time that before. Sending automated and timely campaigns, setting up rewards and referral links and much more became at a distance of a keystroke.

CONS

Honestly, it is a straight forward software and whenever there has been clarifications, their customer support went the extra mile not only resolving the issue for my team but giving them more insights and guidance to discover more features of the software.

Helpful and useful product with amazing customer service!

PROS

I work in marketing for an E-Leaning company. Referral Factory saves me time every day because I used the program to set up automated email notifications to our clients. The system automatically reminds my clients to refer their friends, and I don't have to lift a finger! [sensitive content hidden] were both very helpful to me when I first set it up. Overall it is a useful and easy to use program.

CONS

It is hard to think of anything I don't like about Referral Factory. It saves me countless time every day! If I had to think of something, I would say that I wish we could send emails to specific segments, but [sensitive content hidden] told me that this feature will be available soon!

The easier software I have used

PROS

Having customer support at your fingertips makes the whole process a lot easier. As a first-time small business owner, I don't always know what I'm doing, so having the option to ask for help and receive 10/10 support from the team is really helpful for me.More than others, referrals and word of mouth have been the golden nugget of my business, so this software allows me to take the pressure off myself and create a programme that will help my business and my clients.

CONS

I had to pay a little extra to have my own domain, which isn't the site's fault, but also a little annoying for a small business owner who's trying to save pennies wherever I can.
