Our take

Referral systems have long since been an integral part of attracting new customers to a business, rewarding both existing customers and their friends for sign-ups. These systems have always been successful, but most lack a universal system that provides insights into what makes customers refer their friends and how this is benefitting a business.

Friendbuy has built an integrated referral marketing system that aims to accelerate customer acquisition and loyalty for brands. The company designs its referral programs to be easily applied to eCommerce systems by marketers and developers, in addition to including analytic and management features for companies to assess the success of their referral programs.

There are certainly other custom acquisition companies excelling in the current eCommerce landscape, but Friendbuy has taken a unique approach by focussing on providing transparent analytic features. The company's place on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list highlights its fast growth and likely future success.
