Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2016 -- ShopSocially, the world’s leading Software as a Service (SaaS) company, has confirmed today from charted big data that The Color Run has enjoyed an outstanding 9.55% sales conversion rate using its revolutionary Refer-a-Friend app technology.

The more location specific we make our Refer-a-Friend partnership with ShopSocially, the more people react and interact with our events. - Gerardo Castillo, Digital Advertising Marketing Manager, The Color Run

ShopSocially, trusted by hundreds of the world’s most prominent e-commerce brands, has also published results announcing a superb 12.32% interaction conversion rate for The Color Run. The 5k event series is the largest in the world and produces events in over 40 countries and 220 cities across the globe. The ShopSocially process is straight forward for customers who choose any 5K locations in North America, for example, St. Louis. Participants will see a pop up for the vibrant Refer-a-Friend app with an enticing message, “Invite Your Friends to this Event and get $10 off. Your friends get $10 off too!” This is available to be shared freely on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and email.

“The more location specific we make our Refer-a-Friend partnership with ShopSocially, the more people react and interact with our events,” observed Gerardo Castillo, Digital Advertising Marketing Manager of The Color Run. “Both The Color Run and ShopSocially are committed to customer satisfaction and happiness and creating positive reactions and interactions with our products and services.”

Key features and benefits for companies with Refer-a-Friend, comprise ShopSocially’s effective A/B testing (split testing) in online and offline modes to precisely gauge impact. The unique framework rigorously measures the true impact of referrals on sales conversion rates. With the result, brands can confidently make safe decisions using the knowledge that ShopSocially’s real time statistics provide which clearly indicates the ROI from the campaign. The Color Run conducts multiple Refer-a-Friend campaigns and the invaluable A/B testing resources helped them understand the importance of running town specific campaigns. Currently, all the refer-a-friend campaigns on The Color Run site are event & town based.

“Our strong alignment with The Color Run has seen us bring to the table proof of remarkable results through Refer-a-Friend,” asserted Samir Palnitkar, President of ShopSocially. “Our disruptive innovations producing a Sales Conversion Rate here of 9.55% and an Interaction Conversion Rate of 12.32% is the new normal. ShopSocially SaaS is the sea change for friend referrals, the third most valuable web traffic magnet after Search Engine Optimization, S.E.O. and Search Engine Marketing, S.E.M.”
