A good fit

ReferralLoop works best when trust matters.

You don't need thousands of customers. You need satisfied customers who know other people who could use your service.

  • Customers already recommend you
  • A single referral is worth something to you
  • Customer trust is important
  • You have happy customers you can ask
  • Recommendations often happen informally
  • You want to keep referrals organised

Industries

How the referral model fits your business.

Every reward, timing and message below is an example only. You set your own programme.

Plumbers & heating engineers

Turn completed jobs into your next local customer.

One completed job can lead to neighbours, family and friends needing the same service.

  • Homeowners often recommend trusted trades
  • Neighbours and friends may need similar work
  • Job values make each referral worthwhile
Reward Example
£25 cash

After a successful job

Roofers

Make neighbour and customer recommendations easier to track.

Roofing is trust-based, and nearby properties often have similar needs.

  • Highly trust-based work
  • Nearby properties may need the same
  • Homeowners ask others who they used
Reward Example

  • Neighbours notice completed work
  • Local recommendations repeat
