Salary benchmarks
Our take
Whilst referral marketing is certainly nothing new, a company applying it in-house can underestimate the work and research that has to go into it. That’s how Buyapowa made a name for itself back in 2015, offering up its digital services and platform development to companies such as BT, Tescos, and Vodafone to help them gain more clients.
Through marketing techniques such as gamification, incentives, and rewards, Buyapowa has developed a broad and varied client list that can use its service to analyse and develop new & emerging customer bases.
Whilst there are many competitors in the referral marketing software space, including Talkable and Extole, Buyapowa has continued to be a major player. It's in a strong position, within a market expected to see huge growth over the next few years.
