Influencer Summary Report

Coolest feature

With Influencer, marketers can integrate an interactive referral marketing campaign into an email campaign or e-commerce workflow. Influencer is designed to offer participants an incentive for sharing their brand experience with their social graph.The idea of rewarding customers for referrals is not unique, but Influencer streamlines the process to make it easy for customers to participate, as well as keep them informed of their progress towards a goal, e.g., how many friends have responded to their invitation and how many more need to respond to receive a reward. It automatically sends out reminders to keep customers engaged, fulfills rewards once they are earned and provides the marketer with detailed reporting on their influencers.
