What New York customers say

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

    Priya · New York

  • 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.

    Jamie · New York

  • 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 New York 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.
