Today’s Guest Raul Galera
Here's a summary of the great stuff that we cover on this show:
- Referral marketing strategically rewards customers for encouraging others to make purchases, both online and offline, with incentives like discounts.
- Referral programs differ from affiliate programs as they rely on customer enthusiasm and trust, making referrals more effective than affiliate links.
- Customer referral programs are powerful tools for business growth, leveraging word-of-mouth advertising, building trust, and providing valuable customer insights.
- Successful referral programs require team buy-in, well-designed rewards, and effective promotion across various channels, such as social media, email, and websites.
- Continuous optimisation, monitoring program performance using tools like Bitly and Google Analytics, and encouraging and rewarding referrers are essential for long-term success.

Sponsor for this episode
At the eCommerce Cohort, we're committed to helping you deliver eCommerce WOW through our lightweight, guided monthly Sprint that cycles through all the key areas of eCommerce.
What happens in a Sprint?
Just like this eCommerce Podcast episode, each Sprint is themed-based. So using this topic of Everything You Need To Know About Subscription eCommerce as an example - here's how it would work:
- Sprint Theme: Marketing.
- Week One: Coaching Session -> Marketing.
- Week Two: Expert Workshop -> Everything You Need To Know About Subscription eCommerce.
- Week Three: Live Q&A with our experts and coaches. This is a time to ask questions and contribute your thoughts and ideas so we can all learn together.
- Week Four: Submit your work for feedback, support, and accountability. Yup, all of this is to provide you with clear, actionable items you can implement in your eCommerce business or department! It's not about learning for the sake of learning but about making those constant interactions that keep you moving forward and ahead of your competitors. Sharing your work helps cement your understanding, and accountability enables you to implement like nothing else!
Who can join the eCommerce Cohort?
Anyone with a passion for eCommerce. If you're an established eCommercer already, you'll get tremendous value as it will stop you from getting siloed (something that your podcast host, Matt Edmundson, can attest to!).
If you're just starting out in eCommerce, we have a series of Sprints (we call that a Cycle) that will help you get started quicker and easier.
Why Cohort
Founder and coach Matt Edmundson started the Cohort after years of being in the trenches with his eCommerce businesses and coaching other online empires worldwide. One of Matt's most potent lessons in eCommerce was the danger of getting siloed and only working on those areas of the business that excited him - it almost brought down his entire eCommerce empire. Working on all aspects of eCommerce is crucial if you want to thrive online, stay ahead of your competitors and deliver eCommerce WOW.
