Drive referrals by sharing your phone number

A great way to grow your Subtext campaign is by asking your subscribers to share the number with their family and friends.

Why: We trust the opinions of our friends and family and often share interests with them. 👬

How: A natural way for people to sign up for your campaign is by having them text a keyword to your phone number. You can find your number in the Campaign tab of your dashboard and set-up a sign-up keyword under the Campaign Sign-up section. 

Now to the referrals

You can set-up your referrals a few different ways.

  • Welcome Message: Update your welcome message to include a line like the one below encouraging people to share your service with their family and friends. 

  • Bi-monthly texts: Set-up up a text that'll offer an incentive for referring subscribers. If you have a free campaign, you can consider promo offers on your products or some swag. If you have a paid campaign, offer a promo code for discounted service. If a subscriber confirms their referral’s number, then simply verify that number is in your subscriber list and return the favor with a promotional offer to both parties.

 

There are many ways to encourage referrals depending on your vertical. Your CS Manager can definitely help you strategize and come up with a referral plan that is right for you!
