5 Steps to an Effective Referral Marketing Program

wednesday drive Apr 03, 2018
 

Psychologist Robert Cialdini introduced social proof theory to describe how individuals imitate behaviors when confronted with an unfamiliar situation. As humans, the opinions and actions of others heavily influence the way we live our lives - from the friends we choose to the products and services we use.

A referral marketing program is the cornerstone element any business needs to grow its client base and capitalize on the principles of social proof theory. In a Nielsen Company global survey, 83% of respondents concurred that they would make a buying decision based on the recommendations of trusted parties such as friends, family, and acquaintances.

Networking events: Love 'em or hate 'em, they're a necessary part of life as a business professional if you want to grow your sphere of influence and your affiliate network. Shows like ILCT and LAB Live let you meet like-minded individuals and make important business connections; they may even net you a much-needed job or affiliate.

What is A/B Testing and How Do I Do it Well?

 

A/B testing, also known as split testing, is a tactic by which you find the best combination of ad headlines, main text, images, and call-to-actions for your target market.

A/B testing is usually done over a period of weeks where one portion of the ad is changed at a time and tested against a control in order to find the best results. Every time one ad outperforms the other, one ad is shut off and iterations are made. The key here is to only change ONE THING at a time in order to know why an ad would outperform the other.

Perhaps an example will clarify:

In this example I will show how I would use A/B testing to optimize a fictitious ad for {LAB}
