Examples Of Education Businesses
Using Referrals To Grow
Coursera Codecademy
What can we learn from Coursera?


Coursera used the Give and Get principle. For every referral
purchase, both the referrer and the referred friend get 50% off a
course or the first month of a specialization subscription.
Coursera made the sending referral process much easier by making
all the essential elements easier - headlines, sharing buttons, etc.


What can we learn from Codecademy?


Once you become a Pro member, you can start referring friends
to Codeacademy. If you refer a client, you get a percentage of
the revenue they spend. This encourages users to refer HIGH
QUALITY leads that are likely to spend, because their reward is
dependent on it.
Wakelet
12384 members brought >>> 11883 members
Users who invite friends to the #WakeletCommunityWeek
event, get the chance to win a prize. The referrer with the
most referrals would receive a brand new iPad.
TOOTRiS
If you refer TOOTRiS to your childcare colleague,
you and your referral will receive a $100 gift card
once you both become enrollment ready on TOOTRiS.
1661 members brought >>> 335 members
Learners Edge
261 members brought >>> 156 members
Edge - One-to-One Online Lessons in
Math and English platform offers a PHP 500
if users refer their friends to enroll on Edge.
Successful referral Enrollment = Prize.
Spark it
112 members brought >>> 39 members
Spark it used a referral program for spreading the word
about the critical issues that parents encounter on a daily
basis. By referring the event to as many parents as
possible, parents get the chance to win a special gift.
How To Structure Your Own
Referral Program For Success?
A single-sided referral program is where the
person referring gets a reward (say $30). A
double-sided referral program is where the
person referring gets a reward (say $15). And
the person invited gets an incentive to convert
(say a $15 discount).
DOUBLE SIDED REFERRAL PROGRAMS
= MORE REFERRALS THAT CONVERT
Making it easy for your customers to refer their friends is
key to a successful referral program. Referring to friends
via Whatsapp or Text always drives better results
than referring to friends via Facebook or Twitter - this is
because one-to-one messages drive more
engagement than one-to-many does.
ENCOURAGE SHARING ON
DARK SOCIAL (ONE-TO-ONE)
REWARD IN YOUR OWN CURRENCY TO
DRIVE ACQUISITION + RETENTION
Skillshare showcases a great example of this -
You can earn 40% of revenue, up to $67 for each
new customer that starts their paid membership.
