Word of mouth is still the best.
Word of mouth is the best marketing in the world still!
Everyone knows that the best form of marketing is…WORD OF MOUTH. How can we capitalize on that? At Nomad, we had an outdated referral program. It was slow to pay, (we required a user to complete their job assignment, up to 13 weeks, before we paid out), it was hidden, and it was labor intensive on the back end.
I worked with marketing, legal, finance, and P/E to help roll out an entirely new referral program. We rethought the whole process, changed the way we incentivize, and launched it to great success. It led to 10% more applications, and 10+ more job offers during the 30 day trial program.
One of the biggest changes was adjusting payout before the traveler went on assignment. Users could now get paid after referring and getting a friend to apply for a job. As well as, after the assignment is complete. This creates better engagement throughout the process. It provides immediate satisfaction.
This is also a double sided reward program, meaning both parties get rewarded. Further incentivizing the referral core loop.
This is an authenticated feature that can only be found by creating an account with Nomad Health.
