RewardStream Adds Another Credit Union to Client List
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) November 01, 2013 -- Vancouver, BC: RewardStream, a referral rewards software provider and leading authority on Referral Marketing, is pleased to announce the launch of Coastal Community Credit Union’s member referral program. The launch marks the fifth credit union program to be hosted by RewardStream’s leading referral software, Spark.
The Spark referral platform was designed specifically for the Financial Services and Telecommunication industries, with innovative features to capture in-person or “offline referrals,” (the most influential and highest converting type of referral) as well as those done online through social media and e-mail. New customers are rewarded once they become members, as is the person who referred them. Spark’s ability to link purchases which are made offline back to the original referral post-purchase is ideal for credit unions and banks, where most people enter a physical branch to open a new account. Rewards can also be tied to the type of customer acquired to better align acquisition cost to the revenue generated from each unique new customer.
“For a number of years, we have operated successful referral programs for some of the world’s largest wireless providers,” said James Christensen, CEO of RewardStream. “We are now focused on bringing what we have learned to help financial institutions acquire new clients cost effectively. We look forward to working on this with Coastal Community Credit Union.”
Mike Goerzen, AVP Marketing for Coastal Community added: “We’re excited to be partnering with RewardStream to be able to deliver this innovative solution to our members. Our members have told us that they want to refer friends and family to us. Now we are able to offer them an easy to use method to make that happen and to reward them for their advocacy.”
