Referral Programme Development · Edinburgh
Referral Programme Development in Edinburgh
Turning Edinburgh customers' recommendations into a measurable channel. One thing to settle before launch: a reward offered for a recommendation creates a paid endorsement, and where the recommendation is public rather than private, that relationship has to be disclosed under advertising rules.
Why this comes up
The problem
Word of mouth clearly produces customers, none of it is tracked, and there is nothing that makes recommending easy at the moment someone wants to.
What you get
What we deliver
- The prompt placed at the point of genuine satisfaction rather than at purchase
- Sharing made easy in the channels customers actually use privately
- Rewards structured for both sides, since one-sided schemes convert poorly
- Disclosure handled where incentivised recommendations are made publicly
- Fraud limits set, as self-referral and gaming appear quickly
- Incremental value measured, not just referrals attributed after the fact

Referral Programme Development in Edinburgh — common questions
- Do incentivised recommendations need disclosure?
- Where they are public, yes. A customer posting a recommendation in exchange for a reward is making a paid endorsement, and advertising rules require that relationship to be obvious. Private messages between individuals sit differently, and the distinction is worth getting advice on.
- When should we ask?
- After a good experience, not after a payment. A prompt at checkout catches people before they know whether they are happy; one after a successful delivery, a resolved problem or a second purchase reaches customers with something genuine to say.
- Should both sides be rewarded?
- Usually. A reward only for the referrer makes the recommendation feel self-interested, which people are reluctant to send. Something for the recipient gives the referrer a reason to get in touch that does not reflect badly on them.
- How do people abuse these?
- Self-referral with second addresses, and volume submission where rewards are generous. Limits per account, validation before rewards are released, and paying only after the referred customer has genuinely transacted handle most of it without deterring real participants.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
