Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) August 14, 2015
TireBuyer.com, a part of the largest tire distributor in the United States – American Tire Distributors, delivers the biggest selection of brand-name tires to thousands of trusted local installers across the country. The tire company, operating as online retailer of tires and wheels since 2009, was looking to boost its sales by leveraging its growing customer base. It wanted to augment its website with a powerful word-of-mouth engine that will help reach a larger number of like-minded audiences at a minimal budget. TireBuyer.com devised a strategy using ShopSocially’s innovative solutions. Referral traffic generated from this strategy converted at an impressive rate of 13.09% at TireBuyer.com.
TireBuyer.com integrated ShopSocially’s Refer-a-friend app on its website to generate a constant source of referral traffic to its website. The app interface was customized by ShopSocially to blend with existing interface of TireBuyer’s website. The customers are incentivized with a $25 prepaid Visa card for taking part in the referral program. Besides the incentives and strategic placement of the referral program on the website, the options to share the referral program through social media channels have increased the virality of the program. ShopSocially’s Refer-a-friend app has helped TireBuyer.com to reach the social circles of their customers. The referral traffic generated from these referrals is converting at a high rate of 13.09%.
“Our main objective is to enhance customer’s shopping experience on our site. By embedding ShopSocially’s Referral program, we not only generated handsome referral traffic to our site but also converted this referral traffic into customers.” commented Devon Butler, Senior Manager at TireBuyer.com. “It has been a pleasure to work with ShopSocially and design a referral marketing program that is on delivering tangible results.”
In addition to the Refer-a-Friend app, TireBuyer.com also integrated ShopSocially’s Share-a-Purchase app to further boost the impact of word-of-mouth. ShopSocially’s Share-a-Purchase app is uniquely designed to capture the post-purchase excitement of customers and convert them into brand ambassadors. Using this app, TireBuyer.com further increased its reach and awareness of the brand.
By using both ShopSocially’s Refer-a-Friend and Share-a-Purchase apps, TireBuyer.com managed to achieve the following successes:
● Boosted sales to acquire a sales conversion rate of 13.09% from referrals
● Reached to new and highly relevant target audience

“The best way to acquire new customers is by leveraging existing customers and by embedding a result-driven referral program on the website.” commented Samir Palnitkar, President at ShopSocially. “We are happy to see TireBuyer.com benefit from ShopSocially’s Refer-a-friend app and improve their sales conversion rate significantly.”
