Frequently asked questions

What is referral marketing?

Referral marketing is when your existing audience brings you new signups, usually in exchange for a reward. Instead of paying for every new contact, you give people a reason to share, and each signup can bring in several more.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

No. You build the form in SMASHSEND and paste one iframe into your site. If you would rather not embed anything at all, you can share the hosted form link on its own.

How are referrals tracked?

Each signup gets a unique referral code. When someone joins through that link, the referral is attributed to them and their position updates. Duplicate emails and bot submissions are filtered before they count.

Can I reward my top referrers?

Yes. You set how many points a referral is worth and define reward tiers. Rewards can unlock automatically, or you can review and approve them before they are granted.

Can I email the people who join?

Yes. Waitlist signups become contacts in SMASHSEND, so you can send broadcasts and automated flows to the whole list or to a segment such as your top referrers.
