Referral marketing software should make it clear who introduced a customer, what action qualifies and when a reward is earned. This guide focuses on Yournotify for SaaS referral programmes, using illustrative examples to explain programme design and evaluation.

Define the qualifying referral
Decide whether a referral qualifies at signup, activation or a completed purchase. For SaaS, an account that reaches a meaningful product milestone may be more useful than an unverified signup. Write the rule so customers and support staff can understand it.
Use attribution and clear programme rules
Use Yournotify Referrals to organise referral participation and attribution. Define eligible participants, the attribution window and how duplicate or disputed referrals are handled. Confirm the configured workflow before advertising a reward.
Example: a customer refer-and-earn programme
An illustrative SaaS programme could reward an existing customer after an introduced business becomes an eligible paying customer. Explain the qualifying event and reward timing upfront. Measure the cost per qualified customer, including the reward and operating effort.
Example: a partner introduction programme
A partner may introduce organisations that fit a specific use case. Define how an introduction is recorded and how your team confirms it is eligible. Keep communications consistent and review the quality of introductions before expanding the programme.
Example: activation-led referrals
A product team may want referrals that reach a first useful action, rather than simply create accounts. Choose a milestone that represents real product use, confirm the event can be supplied to the workflow and avoid incentives that reward empty activity.
Connect referral communication with customer follow-up
Use Yournotify email or other appropriate channels to explain the programme, confirm relevant events and answer questions. Keep messages factual and distinguish pending eligibility from an approved reward. Provide a clear route for support.
Assess reward cost and programme performance
Estimate the audience size, expected send frequency and channel usage before committing a budget. Review current Yournotify pricing and confirm the applicable rates and account configuration. This guide does not quote a fixed price because the amount depends on the service and usage. Model referral volume, qualification rate and reward fulfilment. Review acquired customer quality, repeat activity and margin. Start with a limited pilot and resolve attribution or support issues before a broad launch.
