What Austin customers say

  • We tried two agencies before this. Referral Program Setup from Social Perks did more in 30 days for Austin than either did in 6 months — and I'm paying a fraction of what they charged.

    Maya · Austin

  • The fact that it runs on autopilot is the whole game. I check the dashboard once a week. New customers keep showing up. Best $49 I spend on the business.

    Priya · Austin

  • I was skeptical of anything with "AI" in the pitch. But the captions sound like me, the review requests don't feel spammy, and my Austin regulars actually engage. Convert me.

FAQ

  • What's a good referral reward structure?

    Our data shows dual-sided rewards (e.g. $10 to referrer, $10 to referee) outperform one-sided by 2.3×. Start with ~10% of your average ticket on each side.

  • How long does setup take?

    5 minutes for the default template. 30 minutes if you want custom branding, multi-tier rewards, and POS integration.

  • Can I prevent self-referrals?

    Yes — IP, device, payment-method, and address matching block obvious self-referrals. The fraud engine also flags suspicious patterns.

  • What's the average referral conversion rate?

    Customer-to-customer referrals convert at 12–18% (vs. ~2% for paid ads). Most owners see payback within the referee's first transaction.

  • Can I cap how much one customer can earn?

    Yes — set per-customer caps, time-window caps, and per-program caps. Defaults prevent any single customer from earning more than 20% of program spend.

  • Does this integrate with my existing loyalty program?

    Yes — referrals can stack on top of points/perks, or run standalone. We have one-click bridges to Square Loyalty, Toast Rewards, and Mindbody.
