    ReferralCandy is overall a great tool that saves me time and money. Creating a referral program on your own is incredibly difficult and this tool allows for an automated system to send us an option to opt into the referral program. Their customer success team is very helpful and they're quick to get back to us when we have a question. We also love the ban feature when a customer abuses the referral program.

    BounceX is well suited if you want to boost list/customer base growth, but a tricky aspect of it for me is that I don't know the benefit smaller companies would get from BounceX to accelerate growth without having an existing customer base.

    Cons
    ReferralCandy
    • I would love to see a multi-tiered referral or reward system so that we can offer certain customer groups unique offers.
    • I would love a feature where you can issue a reward to a customer without them "qualifying for it".

    • Support is awful
    • Management will not work with you to make things right
    • Tool is buggy. It went down for 50 hours during our Black Friday sale resulting in substantial amount of lost revenue.

    ReferralCandy went above and beyond when it came to the initial integration of their app with our e-commerce store. They walked us through, step by step, how to install it, and then spent time helping track down a display bug that had popped up, giving us a couple free months for our trouble even!

    Beware if you buy from them you are committed for a year. It is too expensive for the offering and they offer no solutions for you to manage the process/tool at a discounted rate. Will not renew my contract, that’s for sure.

    We've used both Emarsys and Klaviyo as our ESP, while using Wunderkind to handle email/SMS acquisition and abandonment emails. Wunderkind has proven to be able to capture more emails and send more behavioral emails with the contact matching technology.

    Return on Investment
    ReferralCandy
    • ReferralCandy has been positive because it allows customers to refer new customers to discover our brand.
    • We'd love to know more about how this affects our customer acquisition cost.

    • For the email campaigns we had an original agreement for them to produce a 5X return on ad spend and thus far they have produced a greater than 8X return
